Though you are a fellow combatant here behind enemy lines in CA, I disagree. I think Garvey will place second in the jungle primary, and advance to the general. In my view, the vast majority of the rat voters in this state are robotic simpletons, not ideologues. They might vote for the shiny object, regardless of party. Being stupid and ignorant, most have never even heard of Schiff and, if you can imagine the campaign ads, I think Garvey’s are going to be a lot more appealing, as will he, over Schiff. I give Garvey a solid 33% chance of winning the general.
I’m waiting for some former ballplayers to show up at his rallies. Doesn’t have to be just from his Dodger days or the Padres.
If Garvey does have a chance, what makes you think they won’t steal it?
