OK, so what are you going to do about it? Sometimes if there aren't enough good men and women available, you need to seek out new recruits.

My guess is the R party leadership in CA is just full of hanger ons. People that are comfortable riding the bus rather than doing. You likely need to dump half of them to just get one good one in return.

Maybe Auhnold can groom some new leaders. Has anyone asked him to start this ball rolling? Maybe there is a NRA chapter in your area where you can go and search for leaders to support.

I am not in CA, so I really can't help. I left years ago when taxes when through the roof.

I suspect the old guard (those with current positions of power), don't want to let it go to better people who ARE NOT THEM.
If there is talent out there, not only do they need to defeat enemies of the left, but I suspect they have those in their own party who don't help them because that is contrary to their personal careers.
Level B politicians who have reached their peak won't let those who could DO IT, or we really lack talent.
It's one or the other, I suspect my first example is the way it is though.
