CA GOV 2021 - 2022 megathread

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

There will be a million comparison to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Arnold was a much better candidate

He had higher name-id and a better image. Schwarzenegger was active in (GOP) politics including ballot measures.
Jenner is really untested.

Also: California is a much bluer and inelastic state today than it was back in 2003.

Not to mention that no Democrats are going to vote for her because she's a Republican, and a very large chunk of Republicans aren't going to support her simply because she's trans. I honestly don't understand how she thinks she even has a chance.

Yeah, Gavin will be perfectly fine.

This recall is such a waste of time. It's going to be hilarious when it fails by a landslide.

Lol

As I noted a few weeks ago, Democratic Rep. Karen Bass said on ABC's This Week that Republicans weren't going to vote for Jenner because of her being transgender-which is what many have also said on here. And now, we have polling data revealing the truth of this. Jenner's attempts to move to the right and to cater to conservative Republicans by adopting the Party line on transgender rights and engaging in attacks against "socialism" and the like clearly aren't helping her.

Yep.

According to the poll, only 13% of Republicans are inclined to support her, while 62% are not. Faulconer, Cox, and Ose, on the other hand, all poll above water with Republicans on that question.

Either she's completely out of her mind and actually thinks she has a chance, or this is just a major publicity stunt. I'm guessing it's a mix of both.

Is she even a resident of California? Did I miss a chapter where she moved after leaving congress, or is this just OANN having some weird fascination for her?

Talk show host Wendy Williams calls California's economy a "joke", calls Newsom a joke and endorses Steve Lodge for governor.

Lodge is a conservative man who is the fiance of Wendy's friend, former reality TV star Vicki Gunvalson of Orange County

California's economy is larger than the UK's. Such a joke

I actually feel really bad for her. Her politics are horsesh*t, but no one deserves to be treated badly for being transgender. I just wish that she, along with every other LGBTQ+ conservative, would realize that the Republican Party is not their ally.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Also what are the odds of the race being called for Newsom at poll closing? What would it take for that to happen?

An exit poll.

I think most outlets will wait for a few key precincts to report first.

NO AT 76% IN LOS ANGELES

CALL IT YOU COWARDS

Lol they're going to do their best to try and drag this out as much as possible.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

OMG call it!

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

The lag here man. Can’t imagine this on an actual presidential election

It actually wasn't that bad last November. The site usually crashes on Eday.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

The networks are beginning to call it.

Larry Elder teasing a 2022 run?

Cringe.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Im surprised Lanhee Chen has the most votes right now in the primary. Does he have a chance to pull off an upset in November?

The combined vote total for all of the Democrats in that race at the moment is 63%. Fat no.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Not sure if this is the place, but lolz:

Would make up for the Democrats fumbling and getting locked out of AD-38 last cycle.
