California Election Results
I wrote recently about the way California’s crazy primary system could create a situation where the general election for House seats could pit two Republicans against each other in heavily Democratic districts. It would have been funny, but the dream is over:
Democrats in California appeared poised Tuesday night to avoid getting shut out of key congressional races for the November election, the most pressing risk they faced as they seek to retake control of the House.
With most precincts reporting, Democrats seemed to have captured second place in the contests where the threat was most acute.
The party’s wide, boisterous field of candidates could have locked them out of multiple races because of the state’s unique primary, which advances the two candidates with the most votes regardless of party.
Only half my judicial picks came out on top; and only one soundly enough to avoid a runoff.
The rest is a disaster as well. Say hello to Governor Gavin Newsom, I’m afraid.
Have a great day!

“The rest is a disaster as well. Say hello to Governor Gavin Newsom, I’m afraid.”
So in your opinion, Cox has no chance of success? (I am asking sincerely. I live on the East Coast, so I don’t have a sense of the chances there.)
Bored Lawyer (998177) — 6/6/2018 @ 7:32 amCalifornia will continue to fight the Federal Government and soon people like myself will be sent off to re-education camps.
Speaking of re-education, the Colorado commission did more than just fine the Masterpiece cake bakers. Unbelievably the commission ordered the owner to re-educate himself and his employees. He was ordered to file quarterly reports for two years on the progress of re-education.
It is a brave new world and California will be pushing the envelope.

Tillman (a95660) — 6/6/2018 @ 9:19 amUrbanleftbehind, it’s been true in California for decades that early results skew conservative compared with the electorate. Early results are heavily based on vote by mail ballots returned before election day, as they are counted first. Those have always skewed conservative.

Easy there Dave. He’s including the Chiang and Eastin vote in the hopes that maybe people who voted for those two were just anti-Democrat establishment. The problem is that I don’t think Chiang or Eastin voters are going to gravitate over to Cox.

NJRob (b00189) — 6/6/2018 @ 10:00 amThe Republican brand is toxic in substantial swathes of the state
The brand has been toxic in the Bay Area for decades. Nothing Trump has done. There are 6 counties up their that voted for Bustamante as the recall replacement (and against the recall). They’ve not voted for a Republican in living memory.
The GOP BRAND is not the problem down South. There, it’s Trump. A Republican who can distance himself from Trump’s failures and bring new ideas to the table on water, traffic, density, pensions, and other pressing issues, stands a chance. Politicians who continue to hammer on abortion and gays and celebrate their close ties to Trump, not so much.
Kevin M (752a26) — 6/6/2018 @ 10:00 am*there. Gah.
Kevin M (752a26) — 6/6/2018 @ 10:00 amAs the saying goes, things here are going to have to get a whole lot worse before they can start to get better. And Newsom is just the guy to accelerate the process of making things a whole lot worse.
JVW (42615e) — 6/6/2018 @ 10:02 amWho was it, Beldar? Dustin? …? who suggested a new reality TV show where celebrities visit the Oval Office to beg Trump for pardons of their favorite criminals?
I’d write that up and pitch it to somebody in Studio City ASAP.

Kevin M (752a26) — 6/6/2018 @ 10:04 amDefinitely not Eastin’s voters, but Chiangs’s voters may be of a more fiscally prudent mien and both those and whatever Chinese/yellow Asian partisans are part of the Chiang voter base are probably gettable if Cox can avoid certain rhetoric or Macaca moments. Eastin’s votes back to the Dems in November can be counterbalanced, in addition to the Chiang shift above, by Villaraigosa game players and the smidge of Hispanics put off by Newsom and the anti-Catholic agenda.

Likely, but not a sure bet. The Trump-endorsed-Cox did surprisingly well w/t ‘populist’ pitch given his background. Sanctuary state/city matters and repealing the gas tax are the issues which directly hit home and pocket books. Also, from the image-over-substance, entertainment-not-governing-POV, Cox comes across as much less polished and PC ‘slick’ on the TeeVee than Newsom, which, in case you haven’t noticed, is part of the communicative ‘charm’ which promoted our Captain to his current command.

Paul Montagu (e6130e) — 6/6/2018 @ 1:29 pmSwitching gears. Not-Brave Sir Ryan finally weighs in and agrees with Trey Gowdy that the FBI's use of an informant to check out Trump aides was appropriate. Albeit late, his words are meaningful because he's a member of the Gang of Eight, which has extensive access to intelligence on national security matters.
The Special Counsel has been requesting witnesses to hand over their mobile devices, which probably explains why they were able to nail Manafort for witness tampering. Manafort’s right-hand man in Ukraine was Konstantin Kilimnik, most likely Person A in Mueller’s filings, a guy with active "ties to Russian intelligence".
Manafort is a one-degree-removed agent for Putin. If I were benevolent dictator, he’d be in jail just for that, for a long, long time.

There was an interesting story some years back about the Munchkin actors, based upon interviews with some of them. Apparently most of them had never spent any time around other adults with dwarfism, so when they were all put up together in a hotel it was like a crazy orgy with all of them hooking up with each other throughout the filming.

I don’t know how much we can learn about the GOP’s brand from Steve Cooley’s loss eight years ago, aphrael. Recall that he lost to a young biracial woman of impeccable lefty values (Kamala Harris) who even back then was being touted as a rising star within the party. It’s not as if he lost to some obscure run-of-the-mill Democrat.
JVW (dadb0c) — 6/6/2018 @ 2:01 pmPut me in the NeverSchultz camp, but not for his "radical centrist ideology", but because of the way he betrayed Seattle by selling to the team to a hillbilly from Oklahoma City. Why did Schultz sell out? Because the city council wouldn't give the Starbucks chief the arena that he wanted, so he threw a tantrum. He also gets dinged for hiring Wally Walker as GM, a guy who systematically destroyed the team from the inside out after the team went to the NBA championship in '96. I won't watch NBA basketball until Seattle gets its franchise back. I also boycotted Starbucks for about five years but finally relented.

I looked him up.
Stephen Leo “Steve” Poizner was the Californoa Insurance Commissioner (a post created in 1988) from 2006 to 2010 (actually 2007-2011) He was elected as Republican. In 2010 he ran for Governor but was defeated in the Republican primary by Meg Whitman.
This time he ran as an Independent. SO that’s one useful effect of the jungle primary.
Sammy Finkelman (02a146) — 6/6/2018 @ 2:17 pmAccording to this:
https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-election-results-Poizner-leads-for-12970845.php
Gavin Newsom got 33%, John Cox got 26% Antonio Villaraigosa got 13%, Travis Allen (a Republican) got 10% and John Chiang got 9%. That adds up to 91%
The two top finishers in the Lieutenant governor’s race (both Democrats) got 22.9 and 20.2 percent of the vote.A Republican was running third with 18.5%.
The two top finishers (with no one else close) for Superintendent of public instruction got
37.4 percent and 33.7 percent. The office is officially non-partisan but the second pl;ace finisher is a Democratic Assemblyman (probably term-limited) This is the one race where if somebody gets 50% he gets elected and there is no runoff in November.
The race for Attorney General has a Democrat and a Republican. The Democrat is Xavier Becerra, whom Gov. Jerry Brown appointed in 2016 to replace Kamala Harris. Becerra got 44.8% and the Republican 25.8% (half the precinct counted)
Secretary of State: The incumbent Democratm 50.8 percent of the vote, and a candidate who received the endorsement of the California Republican Party had 32%
Controller: Incumbent Democrat Betty Yee, had 60.3, but must run again in November. A Repoublican got 35.6% Probably no real competition in either party.
Sammy Finkelman (02a146) — 6/6/2018 @ 2:29 pmTreasuer: the leadrr got 42.7% Two Republicans trailed with 22.6% and 19.9%.

narciso (d1f714) — 6/6/2018 @ 6:12 pmTrump has granted five pardons and two commutations since he took office, and one of the pardons was for long-dead Jack (The Great White Hope) Johnson’s 1913 conviction for miscegenation. Both of the commutations were of what I consider obscenely overlong sentences, and of the pardons only Arpaio had not fully served his sentence. To quote somebody: Much ado about nothing.

Here’s the funny thing. There is this newish local social networking platform called “NextDoor”, where local politics (which is all politics according to Tip) gets discussed. Here, it is traffic, crowding, water and homelessness.
The consensus seems to be that the Democrats are fairly terrible on these issues but there is no alternative. And the GOP isn’t offering solutions to those issues here. It persists on fighting national battles far from the front liens.
Kevin M (752a26) — 6/7/2018 @ 12:15 amThe hardest question to answer in CA politics: Why are they still throwing money down Brown’s train rathole? I have not run across a single person in several years who thinks it’s a good idea. Gavin Newsom speaks with forked tongue on this issue.

The current state of affairs is dispiriting.
The only thing that gives me hope for change is that many of my older liberal friends – and that’s most of them – are unhappy too.
I don’t know a single 60+ year old liberal who doesn’t think the “tranny” thing is anything but a disgusting joke. And they don’t particularly like how the high cost of living is driving their children and grandchildren out of state.

Politicians who continue to hammer on abortion and gays and celebrate their close ties to Trump, not so much.”

What’s really toxic about the GOP brand in Californoa ios immigration.
That’s why Asians are not voting Republican.
This existed before Trump. In fact, Trump capitalized on it to get the nomination. He just took the most extreme position, and because otehrs did as well, more or lesw, he said idiocoes too, like that Mexico would pay for the wall. Nobody was willing to really argue with him.
The interesting thng about Trump is, he’s actually trying to not go back on any of his camapign promises, even though many of tehm are nmoot real convixtions. (he never had strong opinions about judges for instance)
With regard to immigration, some of what Trump is doing is so toxic he’s distancing himself from his own policies:

That could be true, but it wasn’t, in fact, the basis for the investigation. That wasn’t news in 2016. Manafort had left Ukraine and gone to Russia when things collapsed. Manaforts likely Russia/Putin cnnection was public knowledge when Truimp hired him.
It might be a significant part of teh reason there was no defensive briefing of Trump, but no one will say that.
Sammy Finkelman (02a146) — 6/7/2018 @ 12:20 pmI see in comment 147 that Kevin M says (or implies) that the reason the California GOP doesn’t get anywhere is that is has nothing to say on local issues, which he indicates are mainly traffic, crowding, water and homelessness. (it occurs to me that for the most part this is local not even state)
He says the Democrats are terrible but the GOP persists in fighting national battles far from the front lines.

Dustin (06043b) — 6/8/2018 @ 12:02 pmThe woman Trump pardoned might have been a worthy candidate based on her post-conviction rehabilitation, but the idea she was too severely punished for her offenses is laughable, and Trump would be making a huge mistake to defend it on that basis.
But as a piece of political strategy, its HUUUUGE.
Kardashian has about the biggest social media following in the world, and by a significant majority they are not Trump fans. So now she blasts out to all her followers a big “Thank you” to Trump, and none of them look to closely at the details.

I was thinking today – if Trump did shoot Comey, it seems to my non-lawyerly mind like he could mount an iron-clad insanity/diminished capacity defense, without any need for a pardon.
There is voluminous, clear and convincing evidence that the man is unable to distinguish right from wrong, truth from falsehood, or fact from fiction. That makes him incapable of understanding the nature of his crimes.
Further, his inability to formulate or understand even the simplest of logical arguments, or engage in truthful discourse, makes it impossible for him to provide assistance to his counsel.
Dave (445e97) — 6/8/2018 @ 11:46 pmA life sentence on those charges is obscene. What probably happened is that one or more of the big boys rolled over and got themselves sweetheart plea deals before she had the chance to, and the prosecutor had to get her the max if he wanted to win that month’s office pool for most years in prison he managed to get defendants sentenced to.
But what I like about this, is that it leaves both Trump opponents and supporters with no way to turn. Do opponents credit Trump or make themselves look like they don’t care about poor old black great-grandmothers languishing in prison for “non-violent drug offenses”? Are supporters telling us that they don’t care about Mexican cartels poisoning our kids?

narciso (d1f714) — 6/9/2018 @ 7:12 am@188. I am waiting to see if the players actually have some concrete examples of the “injustice” they purport to dislike. Or are they just regurgitating the BLM talking-points for the attention?
I am NOT disagreeing with feet’s assessment up thread, however.

Instead, they would not show up, both parties realizing the players are seeking fatwas against specific LE personnel that got off. Thats where the BLM talking points would be cover.
