California Republicans head to first debate in Newsom recall
KGET ^ | 8/4/2021 | AP

epublican candidates heading into their first televised debate Wednesday in California’s looming recall election face a gamble: whether to pile up on Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom or try to undercut each other in front of a statewide audience.

That’s the risk in the evening contest at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Orange County, California, which will provide a first-time look for many voters at a partial Republican field that hopes to see Newsom ousted from office in the Sept. 14 election.

“Elder...warned in a tweet that a “circular firing squad” among GOP candidates would only benefit the governor.”

Exactly!

I donated some money to Elder
Though I don’t think California will ever elect a republican again

I heard an excerpt from a Larry Elder campaign appearance (on the radio).

He mentioned “school choice”.

Did anyone hear his whole speech? I’ve listened to his program for years and one of the things he’s aired seasonally is a several episode broadcast talking about the stories in his book about a lengthy conversation he had with his father (and the book has since been retitled).

He talks about “The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations” and how when he went from his local school to a better school he was ill prepared for the level of expectation in the coursework. He certainly is an advocate for giving parents/students the right/ability to go “elsewhere” but I didn’t know if he brought in his own personal experiences at his campaign appearance.

They’ll all be wearing pink bunny suits, tripping over themselves lying about their credentials and how they are going to “solve” the big problems California faces knowing full well they will vote with Democrats on everything.

Prove me wrong.

Right now the polls show Newsome beating the recall, but it is within the margin of error.

the Californication GOP party machine is mostly just a subdivision of the DNC.
it will self-destruct itself to enable Newsome to win

all GOP candidates will attack Larry Elder, the only viable anti-Newsome candidate

Even if Gavin Newsom is recalled and Larry Elder or someone else wins, I’m guessing Newsom will “pull ahead” by a million votes as “more ballot are counted”.

Is this supposed to be a news article?

Now that it’s mail-in due to Covid, I doubt Newsome will lose at all.

Larry Elder would be great. I just hope they’ll attack Newsom and not each other.
