A conservatve would never win here. If we want a Republican Governor in California, it will have to be a RINO, whic sadly is still better than a far left moonbat the Jerry Brown or Gavin Newsome.

As long as you keep believing that, the state will continue to sink into the abyss. I submit any state in the country could elect a Conservative Republican Governor (Rhode Island has one now, and that state is far more Dem than CA), but we need to stop apologizing for our beliefs, especially when they ARE right, and start running candidates that will make the changes needed and fix the horrific problems in these places. And to your other point, a RINO is not, and never will be better than a Democrat. A RINO inflicts far worse damage than a Democrat, enacts their Socialist agenda, helps Democrats sweep the next election and gets the GOP painted with their failures. Just look at the epic fail fiasco Ah-nold has been responsible for. Remember what two terms of Jerry Brown got California... George Deukmejian. If Jerry Brown had been a RINO, Tom Bradley would've won in 1982.
