Reaction if Larry Elder loses replacement question

[I’m not Stu]

Reaction if Elder isn’t the winning replacement candidate.

[BoiseBoy]

I'd assume Kevin P. got the most votes intead.

[Sir Mohamed]

Irrelevant as Newsom will remain in office.

[I’m not Stu]

Wouldn’t that mean Republicans are in disarray?

It's a Safe D state, it would mean anything beyond the borders of CA. The 2010 and 2014 GOP waves didn't hit CA even back then. In recent years, the GOP has de facto become a 3rd party in the state and its brand is really toxic outside some rural counties.

Might it mean that Paffrath might face Newsom in November of 2022?

[ChiefFireWaterMike]

Irrelevant as Newsom will remain in office.

You tell me

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Irrelevant as Newsom will remain in office.

Unfortunate, but true

[Progressive Pessimist]

It would actually be even more embarrassing than Caitlin Jenner's result of 1% or less.

[Born to Slay. Forced to Work.]

Here’s hoping Drake beats Newsom

[Non Swing Voter]

I'd rush to the tv to see his impending mental breakdown.

[Person Man]

I guess that’s too bad, right?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

It won't matter if Newsom is to Remain

[bayareabay]

I would be very surprised. I voted Paffrath.

[Schiff for Senate]

Wouldn’t that mean Republicans are in disarray?

CA is a blue state; Democrats united can fend off the GOP any day, no matter what. Rather, if Elder does win, it's a sign that the GOP did a great job of uniting the party around him, and that the Democrats are in disarray. If he loses, it doesn't matter unless he loses resoundingly or something.

[Ferguson97]

My reaction would be "lmao"

[Drew]

I’d be surprised if another Republican gets more votes than Elder, but I suppose I wouldn’t be shocked if Paffrath squeaks out a plurality over all other candidates. 

Though of course this is likely irrelevant with the first question likely failing.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

I'm more curious about the reaction if Kevin Faulconer doesn't do particularly well in San Diego County (Either third place, a distant second or he doesn't even crack 15%)

I mean I'm predicting it, but I don't know how many folks here are

At first I thought you were impersonating Olakwandi
