President Joe Biden had a stark warning for overwhelmingly blue California on the eve of the state’s gubernatorial recall election.

For some reason I don’t see Trump being flattered by the comparison. Can’t quite put my finger on it.

But it would be fun to compare Elder’s CV with Trump’s???. Then maybe it would be fairer to say that Trump is the orange Elder.

Larry Elder is using his upcoming massive defeat as part of his ongoing grifting. No matter the result, no matter the fairness of the election, Elder will raise tons of money to “fight” the purported voter fraud. Then, six months on, after only spending token amounts, he’ll pocket the cash from his gullible and dumb fans and move on to the next scam.

That’s what he thinks he can do, but there are rules about spending campaign funds. So he may end up announcing that he’ll run again, or became the CA GQP king maker.

One of the cleverest parts of the Democrats’ vote-rigging scheme is the way they still campaign for votes from the public, as if the whole thing weren’t already in the bag. In reality, that’s just more proof that they’re stealing the election. So it’s pointless to vote if you’re a Republican, and the best way to prove that is to not vote. So Republicans just have to stop voting until the Dems stop stealing all the elections.

The results will be truly anti-climactic. “No” on the recall will win by 15-20% and Republicans will try to forget any of this ever happened.

I’d put the line for the recall at Newsom -13.5 points.

Nothing scares these guys more than winning. Republican politics is becoming more and more like “the Producers”. There’s way more money in failure and the denial thereof.

If he’s actually a Trump clone, then he’ll be funneling all the grifting through a PAC and not his campaign funds.

Are you suggesting that Elder the candidate is ne-BONG-ar?

But even then, there are still rules. Money in a PAC has less restrictions, but then there are some.

Heh. “Shame” is a restraint on his FREEDUMB! Shame is a Democrat plot to make people politically correct! Shame CANCELS you! How’s a guy to make any money, if he’s supposed to feel shame?

Elder — who would win the election if only less than half of the votes say “no” to kicking Newsom out of office…
Um shouldn’t that read “say ‘no’ to keeping Newsom in office?”
Which is what I’ve been thinking about this morning. If Elder wins (God forbid) then he is an island in the body politic of CA.
He can’t fire any Dem elected official. He would be a lame GQP Governor walking amongst a see of Dems.

First, kudos for the call-out to “The Producers.”
Also, it’s not just the money. When you lose, you have zero responsibility for governing. You can sit on the bench taking potshots and cheap shots. You can block everything the winning party tries to accomplish (right, Mitch?). Then you can blame THEM for being unable to get anything done.
Losing is perfect.

Seems to be a bout 15.8% spread if 538 is to be believed, BUT only 7.3% above the 50% Newsom needs to survive. You can bet your ass that Faux News and the MSM will be harping on that 57.3% as “troubling” and “Dems should be very concerned” because Newsom won his election in 2018 with 61.9% of the vote. The only thing you will be hearing about is the 4% or so decline in “deep blue CA” that they will desperately portray as dire dire tea leaves for the Democrats in 2022. You will hear precisely nothing about it being a “rebuke” of the GQP, Elder or the attempted recall.
