The people of California seem too stupid to get rid of Newsom when they have the chance to do it.
Seems so:

No wonder the Democrat Secretary of State tried to keep him off the ballot.
I’ve made no secret of my support for Larry Elder. If I were still in California, I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. He’s intelligent and deeply principled, and California is in very bad shape. The good news is that I’m not the only one who likes Larry. It turns out that a lot of Californians are relieved that Bruce “Caitlyn” Jenner isn’t the only alternative to Gavin Newsom.
According to an Emerson College/Nexstar Media poll, there’s bad news for Newsom and good news for Elder. With the election coming up in September, currently, 43% of voters want to recall Newsom, while 48% want to keep him in office. If Newsom continues to re-lockdown the state, those numbers can be expected to get much closer – and the 9% of undecided voters will follow the trend.
Even more damaging for Newsom is the fact that, while a lot of voters aren’t enthused about kicking him out early, a large majority (58%) wouldn’t vote for him when he runs for reelection in 2022. Moreover, a plurality of voters gave Newsom a grade of “poor” on key issues: COVID, droughts, wildfires, and the homeless. If Newsom cherished any ideas of jumping from California to the White House, he’d better put those dreams aside.
And what about Larry Elder? It’s clear that those voters who want to get Newsom out, to the extent they’re thinking ahead, are most excited at the prospect of getting Larry in:
On the question of who they would vote for if Newsom was recalled, a majority (53%) of voters are undecided on a candidate. Within the field of candidates that currently have support, conservative talk radio host Larry Elder leads at 16%,

You are painting with a rather wide brush.
The left will destroy him. The biden machine will do everything to destroy him. There will be no lie large enough and no fabrication too obscene to destroy this man. They can not allow a successful black conservative win. Especially in California.
Reminds me of Jim Jones followers winning elections AFTER Jonestown mass killing.
“Explodes” into the lead - at 16%.
More absurdity from American Thinker. Used to be so reliable and level headed.
Never heard of him?
I wouldn't expect him to be a household name for the ordinary layman but he's been prominently known on this forum and those who follow conservative politics for a very long time.
Right now, “recall” isn’t even in the majority...have to get there first before the question of Elder being elected could even be considered.
And in California, to even be competitive, he pretty much needs $50 million - stat. Don’t see that coming to him.
The people of California seem too stupid to get rid of Newsom when they have the chance to do it.
Seems so:
Considering how many candidates are on the ballot, Elder could easily win, with just the conservative minority there unifying behind him.
Don’t mean to step on the toes of conservatives in California, but it seems there are too few to matter.
True...but “recall” has to succeed before that becomes a question.
I follow principles above personalities.
I don’t listen to talk radio.
This is Larry’s chance to break out. Hopefully it also means conservatism gets more of a voice. Last recall, the ‘electability’ RINOs slobbered all over Ahnnold.
P.s. “never heard of him “ is a slight hyperbole. I had heard of him but not much beyond folks saying he was a talk show host.
Read what you just wrote.
Not sure what you mean.
“but it seems there are too few to matter”
Think about the former gov. of Ca.
Hint!! President # 40.
I’m not interested in a pissing contest but
I’ve got this thing about not mattering.
Done with this thread. Peace. No need to respond.
Just saw my first ad against the recall on TV, during the Olympic coverage. It said that the recall was part of a broader effort by evil Republicans to squelch voting and take over in a dirty way. It totally avoided Mention of Newsom or his record.
