Also -- isn't it odd that there haven't been any serious presidential contenders from California, the biggest state, since 1992? In that time, there've been four serious Texans (Bush, Jr., Paul, Perry, and Cruz) and three serious New Yorkers (Giuliani, Hillary, and Trump). But zero candidates from California. It's bizarre.
Pete Wilson made an ephemeral bid for President in 1996. His successors were the only man ever to be recalled from the Governorship, a man constitutionally ineligible for the Presidency, and a man who already sought the Presidency thrice.
