Recall candidates target California Gov. Gavin Newsom and his top GOP rival Larry Elder in debate
CNN ^ | August 26, 2021 | Maeve Reston

(CNN)As polls have tightened dramatically in recent weeks in the effort to recall Gavin Newsom, the Democratic California governor and his allies have been warning of doomsday scenarios if he is ousted on September 14 and replaced by a conservative Republican bent on unraveling the state's progressive agenda.

But as some of the major candidates vying to replace Newsom met for a debate in Sacramento Wednesday night -- where they portrayed him as ill-equipped to handle the state's many crises -- there are some early signs that rank-and-file Democrats aren't wasting time returning their vote-by-mail ballots in their effort to stop the recall.

Elder will turn California on its head. Will be entertaining if nothing else.

Interesting. Larry has only gone after Newsom, none of his Republican rivals.

Yesterday he even posted a lengthy article by Michael Shellenberger that was critical of Newsom, but also endorsed Kevin Faulconer at the very end of the article.

Elder believes that Biden is the legitimate president, that the election was fair.

So that’s enough reason to just let Newsom win, and with it become the odds on favorite to become POTUS in 2024?

the state's progressive agenda

Leftist "progressive" means basically totalitarian government - progress of oppression, regress of freedom.

This chart is as of the previous governor - I'm sure it's worse now. It's also got the People of CA at the top but we all know that is a lie.

What’s the difference? Would you not vote for him because if that?

I believe he has since revised his opinion (after he realized the backlash was going to sink him if he didn’t).

Is that his private opinion or his public opinion? I’m under the impression that he only said this a couple of days ago. I do not know the date of the video - but it can’t be more than a couple of weeks old.

This Paffrath kid is the wildcard. Major YouTube guy, financial advice. He has a couple million followers. He can get out the vote. Unlike the mainstream rats he’s a capitalist and doesn’t hate business. Though his website doesn’t talk about social issues but the economic stuff is acceptable if not ideal. I’m voting for Elder, but could live with the kid. He’d be a massive improvement and could scarcely do worse than Newsom

Found this .... trying to deflect from his previous comment(s:

Amid the grumbling, Elder later tweeted, “Do I believe there were shenanigans in the 2020 presidential election? Yes. But it’s time to focus on retaking the White House in 2024.”)

Larry, if you don’t fix 2020 there won’t be a 2024 for us.

“Elder believes that Biden is the legitimate president, that the election was fair.”

Gotta play the game seeing how the Obama enforcement judges are out for blood and willing to use their power to destroy anyone who dare not bow down to the Chomo in chief.

I’m voting for Kevin Kiley and so are all 4 members of my household who are old enough to vote.

He’s smart—(Harvard, Yale), conservative, and sensible. And one of his top issues is CA education which is my top issue as I have two teens.

He wants to go back to basics in CA: reliable water, reliable power, roads, forest management, less crime and homelessness, good schools. The things that government SHOULD get right.
