Trump lackey in California ask for a civil race. My answer





WASHINGTON — A Republican businessman backed by President Donald Trump will face Democrat Gavin Newsom in the California governor's race in November after a weak showing in the primary Tuesday by former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, according to an NBC News projection.

Cox told his own supporters he'd wage a high-minded contest against Newsom. "I want to give the voters of this great state the race they deserve. Serious, substantive, and for heaven's sake, civil," he said.

Barring some giant monumental earth-shattering reveal, Newsom has already won. He can basically ignore his opponent.

CALTRANS "the worst run agency in the country". Roll back the gas tax.
I remember when Reagan blasted CALTRANS, and director Adrienna Gianturco, when he originally ran for governor. The gas tax, always a target.

How can Republicans ever again call for decency in politics?
There is nobody Trump hasn't insulted. And short of whipping his dick out, Trump has treated even his fellow administration-members with disrespect.
Trump has giddily ignored every tradition and custom of US politics that is not written down as law. And even some that are laws.
And less than 1% of Republicans has publicly stood up against him and in defense of decency, civility, goodwill and tradition.



Next time a Republican calls for civility and decency, ask him: "Do you support the pussy-grabber?"

If he doesn't Cox must be humiliated. There can be bargaining with evil.
