With the recall of California's Gavin Newsom looming, and with Bruce (AKA Caitlyn) Jenner shaping up to be the most popular "Republican" on the ballot, Larry Elder decided that a grown-up needed to step in the save the state. A successful lawyer and TV and radio personality who was raised in Los Angeles and has been open for years about his conservative politics, Elder instantly shot to the top of the charts for Republicans. No wonder, then, that the California secretary of state used an easily remediable error in his campaign filings to kick Elder off the ballot.

Let's cut the crap-will this "clumsy" effort work? Yes or no?

The author has no answer and should top keyboarding for dollars, wasting our time. Disregarding ones customers is what the left does and too many of us are just as guilty.

The recall is not getting enough attention even amongst conservatives. It's the current game and I see no fight. It's not just the left.

Larry Elder has the left scared to death. He is perhaps an even bigger threat than Trump because Elder is an outsider who is black. All it takes to win the recall is the most votes among the many on the ballot. He has a real chance of winning and that is why they are willing to blatantly cheat to keep this plantation escapee off the ballot.

(from the article):" No wonder, then, that the California secretary of state used an easily remediable error in his campaign filings to kick Elder off the ballot. "

My understanding on Tucker Carlson Tonight, from Larry Elder, himself,
is that they are attempting to deny him opportunity to remedy the simple error.

It may very well be clumsy. The intent is to run out the clock, by delays in bringing a suit before a judge who is likely to rule in favor of Larry Elder, then appeal any favorable ruling, kicking the date even further down the road.

It’s called “lawfare”. Not ethical, probably not legal, but run on a pure bluff.

To many people are on the ballot and will split the vote.

Plus mail-in voting.

Unfortunately Newsome is going to beat the recall.

Probably? This isn’t horseshoes.
Pure bluff? Sounds just like the author.

Not quite that easy. You first have to get a majority to vote to recall Newsom.

Make no doubt about it. Nothing Elder does is clumsy. He is a self made man who pulled himself up my his own bootstraps. Practically within minutes of Elder's announcing his intention to run, he shot up to the top of an OAN poll (64%!).

Elder is as passionate, eloquent, and committed to the American Dream as any man who has ever run for office. In short he is the left's worst nightmare.

What can Californians do to win the recall? Everyone turn on all their lights and appliances(dryers are 240V) in the days leading up to the recall date, causing blackouts. Be careful.

As the most corrupt out of all the corrupt voting states you are probably right. However this is such an obvious case of keeping a black man down it will still hurt the left immensely. You can be damn sure Larry Elder won't just tuck in his tail and walk away. This is a no win game for the left.

Larry Elder is one of the very few black men, with the guts to point out the number 1 problem with young, black males who commit crimes.

NO IN-HOME FATHERS, to instill values and discipline !

Remember Prop 187 in California in 1994? It proposed denying undocumented immigrants public services. It passed. A lawsuit followed and the courts invalidated its passage. The state will find a way to “cancel” Elder if not symbolically assassinate him. The Left will drag out his long time gal friend, Alexandra Datig (white, blond) to stigmatize him as an Uncle Tom and embracing “whiteness”. Actually, Elder could behoove his election my marrying Datig. Would he make a good governor when he unwisely in my opinion got vaccinated?

Elder would be among the first to point out that in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Uncle Tom was the hero!

BREAKING: Larry prevailed in court today and WILL be included on the ballot with the other candidates. The Judge said the requirement for tax returns is not required for a Recall election.
