wow! A conservative politican that's to the point, doesn't equivocate and is unashamed of his positions. Breath of fresh air!
Well, get ready for the revisionists who will pretend that Bill Simon was even a tenth as forthright, therefore "conservatives can't win in California."
Republican Senatorial, Gubernatorial, and Presidential candidates, whether conservative or moderate, who are too timid to address California's massive problem with Illegals have failed to win here in every election since Pete Wilson won in 1994.
Laughably, these self-congratulatory, so-called "political realists" hold Wilson up as an example of how to lose in California; nevermind that Wilson won at the top of the GOP's statewide ticket (Senatorial and Gubernatorial) four times from 1982 to 1994.
