Maybe.

I can tell you who won’t be elected to replace her... a Republican.
Not even a RINO.

Yup.

a Mexican Reconquista would be elected here by white liberals, because “he deserves it” as reparations for the US stealing “his” land.

She’ll quit a few days early so that Moonbeam can make an interim appointment.

Now that you mention it, it would not surprise me in the least if he ran. Him or Fiorina again.

She’s likely the first of many who won’t or don’t like being in the minority, are taking their marbles and going home rather than playing along. Short answer, she’s a sore loser who hates being in the minority.

I hope someone good.
It seems like the California Republican Party just ran Democrats the past few elections (at least up here in the Bay Area).

I'd like to see McClintock.

LOL!
Well, not to wish her ill health - but based on her voting records and comments she seems like she's been suffering from a severe case of senility for over 20 years... Hopefully she gets better when she leaves (and hopefully not via a pine box).

You sure?

Note the results of the latest election:

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla

That's the guy in charge of voting in California now.
