question: what do we do if elder take CA?

[DonCoquixote]

You know that is goign to be a trophy especially that could mean Texas and Califrnia go red. Any ideas, plans?

[brooklynite]

1. Well, people here will panic...

...and then other people will remind them that there's a super-majority Democratic Legislature and a new election next year.

[RockRaven]

2. The next CA gubernatorial election is in 14 months.

Just work on getting the best Dem you know of selected in the primary (which is in 9 months), and then kick ass in the general.

3. Not gonna happen. Nt

[Retrograde]

4. lean on the legislature to do their jobs

Top items:
-reform the recall process to 1) require more signatures and 2) to automatically make the lt. governor the new governor (note that in California governor and lt governor are elected separately, and we have had instances this century where they were from different parties)
-pass a law similar to Kentucky's that if a governor replaces a senator the replacement should be from the same party

[Xolodno]

11. Exactly.

Make it not worth while to do a recall with exception of extreme cases.

5. hope that a senate seat doesn't open for Elder to fill.

6. It would be more proof

that we have a fucked up system where a minority candidate can win.

[Prince99]

7. Serious

This is blowout folks...it will be pushing 65/35 split. Take that from a Cali guy.

13. Thank-you

[BigmanPigman]

8. Not going to happen.

The numbers aren't even close.

[WarGamer]

9. 1) He won't 2) Dems have a veto-proof super-majority

A Governor Elder would be able to do precisely shit.

[denbot]

10. An actual recount will fix that.

Cyber-ninjas my ass...

[Johonny]

12. Be worried if like me you live in California

Lots of stupid grandstanding will result.

A) executive orders against masks, vaccinate mandates etc.

Just stupid stuff that his base will love, but won't be enforceable.

[Hoyt]

14. Will worry if that happens.
