I would guess that GOP ‘elders’ would choose Kleefish under the old ways where primary voters didn’t have a say. Humphrey went down because he was too tied to the Johnson administration. Walker got thrown out so the consensus is she’d be more of the same. Something tells me Trump’s aware of this and has nothing to lose either way. His takes his endorsement serious like a woman’s virginity. Can’t just give it away. Many do btw.
Michels could surprise I guess. There are several successful(unknown) businessmen who got involved in politics and won governorships. Think Johnson(NM),Rihordin(Ca). Go for broke I guess.
Riordin didn’t win-forgot. Any others that did?
Calif. recall. All those candidates. Peter Ueberroth was the most successful track-record-wise but the voters went for the flash in Arnold. Ueberroth was 66 at the time. Ran the olympics and MLB big time. Voters missed opportunity.
So it’s a crap shoot. Gamble when you should like Trump’s doing now. Too often the public doesn’t know what they missed out on as I’m suggesting with Ueberroth. California conservatives went with Bill Simon Jr. in 2002-a joke of which I must plead guilty also. We should win or lose with what Trump endorses, even if it’s Oz. We won’t agree with all his choices but think of the big picture. I’m registered libertarian but never voted for one.
