Sometimes we need the right candidate to win or hold a seat. This appears to be one of those cases.

They often use a woman of color as their Trojan horse. They used Michelle Steel, an Asian woman (Steel is her married name--she'smarried to the former CA Republican Party Chair), to unseat my former Dem congressman Harley Rouda here in California's Orange County. She is super right wing and anti-gay, but people get fooled by her looks.
