I would think Cox and Allen will be defeated in weak third or fourth placed finishes.
Reconcile that no Republican will be elected governor in CA.
“...a Chicago-born businessman who carpet-bagged to California five years ago, for Governor of California”..........
So what’s the big deal? A Chicago born female, the “Pant’s Suit Hag” carpet-bagged to New York and ran for president.
Could it be that Trump picked the most liberal Republican specifically because he had the best chance of winning and turning back the political dictatorship the Democrats have established in California?
Maybe he thinks he knows how to handle someone like this RINO.
Actually, both are likely to be true. RINOs are stupid and easily malleable based on external pressures.
There will most likely be a “choice” between two far-Left candidates for governor in California’s rigged election system.
Strong national security, immigration, language, employment, and benefits policies could have saved California if they had been implemented three decades ago.
I live in California and the clear choice is Cox vs. Allen.
Allen’s deceit is becoming legendary. When asked to support the movement against Gov. Brown’s gasoline tax...he refused.
Cox was all in from day 1.
Now in ads, Allen says he was not only for the repeal, but led the charge.
Neither are perfect, but Allen is a clear POS.
Swamp vs Not Swamp?
It’s California, which is a goner anyway.
Electing RINOs to support Rat policies is in no meaningful sense "turning back the political dictatorship the Democrats have established in California."
In CA, any statewide R is a throwaway candidate anyway.
What difference does it make who Trump endorses?
CA is gone for good, even for RINO candidates.
We tried that with Schwarzenegger, and it didn't work.
We need to not pay attention to California and save our ammo for November.
Gavin will be the next Governor regardless....
I just saw an anti-Cox ad on TV. It was paid for by supporters of Villaraigosa.
Newsome is running ads against Cox as well...no mention of this guy Allen anywhere.
Townhall is Salem Radio who locally support Allen. So now their house organ Townhall features some dirtbag writer no one has ever heard of writing a column talking trash about a guy they dont support. Salem Radio needs to be bankrupted
Cox ain’t no liberal. I don’t know a ton about Allen but I’d have guessed Cox was to his right. Cox was the most conservative of the candidates when he ran for Senate from IL in 2002.
I didn’t know Cox was a never Trumper though.
Weird.
Allen certainly seems to be a stronger candidate.
One of them needs to drop out to have a decent chance of making the runoff.
Defeatist bovine scatology... Just like the entire "Solid South" was a Democrat stronghold where Republicans had no chance.
Just like West Virginia was a union owned Democrat stronghold
Just like Wisconsin was the center of "Progressivism" and Republicans had no chance.
Politics is dynamic, not static. We should not surrender a single inch of territory. Fight for conservative constitutional principles across every single elected office in the 50 states, D.C., and the five territories.
Beat a Democrat with a RINO, then beat the RINO with a conservative. Leftists play the long game, always pushing, they have been after single payer socialized medicine for over 100 years. We need to focus on the long term, and stop stupid squabbles that let leftists like Clinton '92 and Obama win.
