I hope this is not only a referendum on trump and the republicans, but a bellwether for the

[JohnSJ]

midterms in regard to the California recall

1. california is so blue this may not apply anywhere eles except for enthusiasm...which is good nt

[dutch777]

2. I would be cautious in assuming anything in CA extends much beyond CA. I hope you are right but

I would be careful and hope the Dems don't see this as very much a "be all, end all" that they don't need to keep working or can coast. I think it's gotta be get more good stuff done in Congress and the Senate and make positive changes that people are pleased by. If we aren't moving the agenda forward, we are losing.

3. True, but at least a solid Dem win prevents Republicans using it as a rallying point.

Which you know they absolutely would have done.

[dutch777]

7. Winning is certainly better than losing but the Repugs will rally on it as another stolen election

because why stop lying now? Granted, a much less potent effort than having swung CA Republican and the 2 to 1 victory is resounding. But Newsom needs to be on point and not pull some other stupid French Laundry faux pas or that will give the Repugs even more ammunition of "see what happens when you leave the Dems in office?".

4. I think there is an important take away, run the midterms as if you are running against trump, by

equating he opposition as trump favorites

[roamer65]

6. Yes, run against Dump and Dumpism.

[roamer65]

5. Governor Newsom is up by 5 points versus 2018.

That shift just may translate elsewhere.

[Cha]

8. Yeah, Don't Mess with California,

MAGAts.

Landslide Newsom!

[Demsrule86]

9. I do too...

I think it may be...the GOP has done what many complacent women thought would never happen...basically made abortion illegal in some states...and Roe hangs by a thread...they are the dogs who caught a car...now what. And they are coming for birth control. I expect many women will rise up in 'flaming rebellion' in 22 and 24.

10. If Jehovah pisses bigly on DC this weekend, then...

you know the SupremO is flushing the violent Republican traitor turds down the Kozmik Krapper.

Bigly rain in the forecast. Rather than pitching a Loser Tantrum between the raindrops and their whiney teardrops on Saturday, the anti-American Sunshine Traitors (R) would be better off, and at least dry, if they stay holed up in mom's basement.
