President Trump endorsed GOP California gubernatorial candidate and businessman John Cox on Friday, days after Cox said he was remorseful he did not vote for Trump in the 2016 election because he wasn’t sure if Trump was a conservative.
...snip
Cox and Orange County Assemblyman Travis Allen, both Republicans, are seeing to woo enough voters for the June 5 primary in order to gain one of two spots in the November general election. In the event Republicans fail to garner enough support, two Democrats could go head-to-head.
Cox has already attracted the support of GOP leadership, including U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy....

I wasn’t sure if Trump was a conservative, and I'm still not sure. All I am sure of is that President Trump is the best person alive for the job at this time.
There are millions and millions of more registered Democrat voters in California than Republicans. A 600-pound transgendered whore Pygmy Eskimo illegal alien actress with 2 heads would have a better shot at becoming California governor than any GOP member. A GOP candidate for CA governor is a complete waste of time and money. Complete. Commie Gavin “Twosome” Newsome is a dead on lock for governor, between the massive number of Dem voters and all the union money the CA Dems have locked up.
People can debate whether Trump is conservative or not; I call him an Answer to Prayer.
There are two factors going on in California. First, a fair number of people are fed up with crime, the housing costs, sanctuary status, and increasing taxes within the state. But there’s a second group who’ve said ‘enough’ and are packing up.
I’ve followed a number of stories from around the San Francisco area, where long-time residents (leaning GOP types) are reaching 60-to-65, retiring, and leaving the state. I would take a guess that since the 2016 election....probably 10,000 of these GOP have left from the surround area of San Francisco.
Travis Allen seems that better candidate Cox and Allen will probably cancel each other out. That will leave Newsom and Villagrosa to battle it out in Nov.
Villagrosa isn’t leaving it to chance. His campaign sent a mailer yesterday essentially saying a vote for Cox is really a vote for Newsom as Cox has no chance in the general election (true) and that he is the “Moderate” Democrat the State needs.
The political TV ads are gearing up in Kali. with the Rats saying they are the Progressive Candidate of choice. I can’t recall previous election years were anyone just flat came out and said “Progressive” aka Socialist. Maybe I missed them in 2014/2016?
“I wasn’t sure if Trump was a conservative, and I’m still not sure. All I am sure of is that President Trump is the best person alive for the job at this time. “
Agree. Trump is a reaction to eight years of Obama. As it turns out, Trump was the antidote picked by millions over the other standard, off-the-shelf Republican contenders. That was more an indictment of the Republican brand than an indorsement of Trump. One would think that the remaining Republicans would look at that and adopt or adapt their messaging to be more Trump-like. But, apparently, their messaging is preset at the factory and can’t be adapted.
“There are millions and millions of more registered Democrat voters in California than Republicans.”

Start putting ICE agents at voting stations on election day, and lets see how that turns out....
Yeah, if he isn't a conservative he sure is doing a great imitation.
The DEMOCRATS set it up so that only Democrats can win.
Only the top two vote getters will be on the ballot in November. Since they combined all parties into one list the likely outcome will be that the voters will only have a choice between two Democrats.
Why Republicans have not taken this to the courts I don’t know (when the voters changed the State Constitution via the initiative process a court ruled the vote UNCONSTITUTIONAL and tossed the election results. Yet this law effectively prevents a segment of voters from having their choice on the ballot.
Why should you expect one? The state went to Hillary by a 30 point margin.
Overheard conversation in 701BC: “There are 186,000 fully trained Assyrian soldiers outside these gates!”
I didn’t just “get religion” on President Trump like all of the Republican-Conservative Establishment types seem to have in recent months and days like Glenn Beck did yesterday.
All of it is disquieting.
The turn of events will determine whether Donald J. Trump is his own man or the man of the Republican Party forces out there who claim to be conservative but aren’t.
As long as he won’t go the way of AAAAhhhhhnold...
Would love to see this happen.
A Trump rally or two in CA might seal the deal.
In the state of Northern Mexico, there are no illegal aliens in the United States, only Mexican citizens. Elections in the state of Northern Mexico might have the appearance of being US elections, but they aren't in practice. Communism was always more welcome in South and Central America than in the United States. This explains why the former US state of California is now run by and for communists.
Republicans don't stand a chance, partly because they have spent more time fighting each other during the years when Mexico stole California from us, than fighting the invasion. Now it's too late for Republicans to do much of anything there anymore.
GOP needs the 2nd spot in June’s primary or they are shut out..
In some Congressional districts so many Democrats may split vote and 2Gop could take top spots. Or a far left winger go against Republican who is better fit to district.
IMHO, CA is close to being a lost cause. CA FReepers have my sympathy. The Democrats have used CA as their playground and we can all see what is happening. Cali is an excellent example of over the top liberal progressiveness. The Cali experience represents the absolute best the Democrats have to offer. Live and learn America.
Even if Mr. Cox were elected Governor, he stands little chance of making a difference since the state is so corrupted by the Democrats.
“he wasn’t sure if Trump was a conservative”
But we were all damn sure Hillary wasn’t. Thus witholding his vote was one more plus for Hillary. Bad.
