Jake Tapper on CNN just did a bit about the recall...

He called the other people running "TROLLS" and specifically mentioned larry elder.

Correspondent Kyung Lah spoke with 3 Los Angeles Democratic women who are not happy with newsom, they said they haven't filled out their ballots yet... they are waiting. (More undecided voters)

He is being blamed for the wild fires, the draught, and the big one is homelessness. She didn't ask them though, who they would vote for instead.

I got an undecided voter yesterday. I pointed out to her that Newsom needs 50% plus one, while Larry Elder will only need 20% or so if the recall goes through. That really gets people

I asked her to really study Elder before she makes her decision on the recall. She actually thanked me for the advice.

I've had several people say they're not happy with everything about Newsom. I don't try to argue with them. I just say no one is perfect, but consider the alternative.

Democrats who didn’t like Newsom

A week ago crapper had Seth Moulson on blaming Biden for any suicdes that result from the evacuation

My suggestion, don’t watch this bullshit

I voted no, and believe most registered Democrats will also vote no
