I really like this guy.
I do too. I wish him nothing but GOOD and I really think he wants the best for California. He's a GOOD guy.
I detest those who surround him, they have not served him or the people of california well at all , imo.
I do not hold any personal animosity against him no matter how hard I may have pounded many of his decisons, appointments and spending and borrowing that he thought he could make up for down the road if he got any much less all the reforms passed.
imo, He shot himself in both feet out of the gate with all his bipartisanship and didn't help himself with the real base of the GOP here in California. breakdowns will show how much support he failed to garner by trying to run as a centrist/moderate, especially with the stakes so high with so many initiatives on this ballot.
imo, next year which is just around the bend, a new budget that does not pander to the left is what he needs to propose, leaner than anyone can anticipate and he needs to stop the hype.
maybe he can grow as a politician and get tough as he heads into the new year and regroup and take it to the left that has devoured and continues to devour this state's future so readily.
educating voters will be a tough job and staying focussed will be paramount as the next election cycle and all the theater that goes with it plays out.
