Roy Moore leads in every poll, except the tied Fox News poll. The CA gubernatorial race has at least 3 contenders (Newsom, Villaraigosa, and Chiang). Which is more likely: Moore losing to Jones, or Newsom failing to make runoff?

First is impossible, so second by default. It'd be very surprising, but primaries are inherently more unpredictable and unstable. Also, Newsom could get caught in scandal or something and collapse. Moore would win even if caught with both a live boy and a dead girl. Even if Moore died tomorrow his corpse would win the election by a hefty margin. Newsom's corpse probably wouldn't, lol.

The latter. Antonio (D) vs. Cox (R) would be the likely match-up in California then. But both almost impossible.

Who would win an Antonio Villaraigosa vs. John Chiang race?

Do CA Democratic gubernatorial candidates Akinyemi Agbede and Ted Crisell have a better chance of winning against Newsom than Doug Jones has of winning against Moore?

Zoltan Istvan making it into the run-off is more likely than Jones beating Moore.

That must mean a Chiang-Crisell or Villaraigosa-Agbede runoff is more likely than Jones winning.

Me winning the Powerball then getting struck by lightning immediately after is more likely than Jones winning.

What plausible scenarios might cause Newsom to finish third or worse in the gubernatorial primary?

Moore's corpse would likely overperform Moore by 10%, TBH.

The former. A Chiang/Villaraigosa matchup is possible (especially Villaraigosa), while there's no circumstance where Jones defeats Moore.

It’s amazing he managed to overcome a scandal like that. That would destroy most politicians.

Would Roy Moore win even if he's caught colluding with North Korea?

Yes, easily. His followers would dismiss it as fake news.

There is virtually no chance that Newsom fails to make the runoff. There is a very low, but nonzero chance that Jones wins.

Would Newsom still make the runoff if he shot someone on 5th Avenue and/or died? Because Moore would.
