We are supplying tremendous dollars

So is Mike Bloomberg. Should he have more clout than California?

California may supply a lot of money to the Democrats, but the state also burdens the US taxpayer because of all the illegals in state.

The Rats only need two primaries. The only problem is NY and California will never quit fighting over who goes first.

The problem with having either CA or NY as the first primary site is that the race is effectively over after that. The winner will have a near insurmountable lead that can only be offset by a streak of wins in smaller states. That being said, if the moonbats in CA want to pick the dimocrat candidate every year, I’m fine with that!
