CA-UCB: Newsom still leads in the jungle

[Technocracy Timmy]

Yeah, these D vs. D races aren't politically healthy.  No state should have one-party rule.  I hope to live to see the day where CA votes for a Republican for President and has a GOP state trifecta, and TX elects a Democrat for President and has a Dem state trifecta.

The GOP nominated a pro choice, pro SSM, pro environment candidate in 2014 (a favorable year) and they still got walloped. I'm not a big fan of a one Party state rule either but the Republican Party just doesn't resonate here.

The only way the CA GOP will ever come back in the immediate future is if it either becomes very, very socially liberal or if the coastline sinks into the ocean.

Honestly if I were the CA GOP, I'd do whatever I can to take in the would-be Hillbots and moderate Democrats that exist. Basically become David Cameron's Conservative Party.

This would be a good strategy if it weren't for the very rural and very conservative parts of the Valley keeping the Party from moving anymore to the Left. The California GOP is gonna be in the wilderness while Trump remains President. His presence is just far too toxic for them in this state.

Newsom's thoughts on Russia and the Democratic message moving forward.

He's already the favorite but he's probably gonna seal it up soon if he keeps talking like this.
