Isn’t it sad that this was a tax funded Republican power play and California pimp slapped it down?
Gawd damn I love it here lolz
		
		
	 
Look, the GOP can't run a Trumpish candidate in California and win.  Elder was saying all the things that would help him get new media contracts, book offers, speaking engagements, etc. He is not a stupid man, he knew he was going to be soundly rejected based on the crazy ass things he was saying. $0/hr minimum wage?  No masking or support for vaccines, when 70% of exit polling showed that Californians didn't want to be like Texas or Florida.
It was a game for Elder and the CA GOP should have seen that coming.  The truth in the GOP is that currently to win a primary requires Trumptardian politicking, to win a general election requires a "traditional" Republican.  If the CA GOP had supported a more moderate candidate, like the Mayor of San Diego, I think Newsom would have been in trouble.
But the GOP is now full of people racing to "crazy" and not actual conservatism.  To their peril.
And I thank them, race to "crazy" and you'll never been in power again.
