I don't think they could defeat the Gov. in the primary

This isn't about the governor for many. It's about the process. When the CRP closed the primary they began reaping what they sowed.

If the CRP continues to ignore tradition this will probably not be the last we hear about rebellion.

The CRP may well end up the laughing stock of California's partisan arena if their grass roots adopts a clothespin as their campaign button.

Heck, they have invalidated the platform planks or ignored them outright, all to retain power and grow the party or so they say.

I don't see pro-choice/abortion, pro-gun control, pro-LGBT in the current ones published at the GOP site.

That is effectively what they have chosen to do and readily embrace by shutting down any debate and not voting one way or the other to truly affirm what they truly stand for. But why sweat little details like that?

The CRP would not have a primary if it is shown in their studies that there isn't a likely Republican candidate that could unseat the incumbent.

Why throw good money after a process that won't change the result in the race at all regarding who represents the Republican? The incumbent has to have a large margin if the CRP won't even challenge them.

Now the key is for the so called conservatives to not sabotage the race in favor of the Democrats because they think they have some bright idea. They don't have any bright ideas that could possible be fruitful without all the work needed at the grass roots level.
