The governor revealed the secret contingency plan to prevent two Republicans from advancing in the governor election — as polls show Trump-endorsed Steve Hilton near the top of the field in the packed race.

Newsom alluded to “action efforts” behind the scenes to make sure Democrats aren’t locked out of the governor’s race, saying he “making my case” to “encourage that doesn’t happen.”

Recent surveys show Democratic frontrunner Xavier Becerra and Hilton as favorites among registered voters, with billionaire Tom Steyer, Republican Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco and Democrat Katie Porter trailing a few points behind.

I like the Post. A lot. But with no detail of any kind, this is an utterly useless article

In this state, unfortunately NO Republican is going to win, the commies will make sure of that. They are fine with the crime, the homelessless, the home break ins at 2am, your dog eating meth and dying while taking them for a walk, the left is OK with that, but the worst thing in the WORLD, is having a Republican win in this state, that is how they feel, you cant change that mentality, we have already hit rock bottom but its still not enough they dont care

The Democratic Party does not believe in democracy. They believe in keeping political power at all costs.

Fully expected of democrats and liberals, they will always oppress and even murder any and all opposition, literally.

Saving democracy can only be accomplished by rigging elections.

I have speculated that if it looks as if the governor’s race would be between two Republicans because of the jungle primary law, the dems in the legislature would vote to revert to a regular primary, that is the dem primary winner vs the Republican primary winner.

While it is perfectly fine to have a choice of two democrats in the general election, it violates all principles of Our Democracy™ to have it be two Republicans.

What l know is this: The rats control the election process top to bottom and there is no way they will allow a 2 R race for the Governor of Ca. They will do whatever it takes to prevent it. Whatever it takes.

They will immediately have a recall election. They won’t let the GOP fix their crap.

Democrat structural dominance forgets the sword is double edged and cuts both ways.

It would be like the last time we had a republican governor here in Illinois. With democrat super majorities in the House and the Senate he was merely comic relief. He tried to cut spending but Michael Madigan (who has been sentenced for corruption) called the tune everybody had to dance to for 30 years. All the governor got was blame from every biased newspaper.
