Dems Could Face Midterm ‘Catastrophe’ in California

Breitbart CA: Democrats had been counting on victories in at least half a dozen California congressional districts to bring them closer to the 24 needed to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Republicans only hold 14 seats in the Golden State, and Hillary Clinton won many of those districts in the 2016 election.

But a combination of factors — including an excess of Democratic contenders, and a surge in Republican enthusiasm — could thwart those plans.

California has a unique primary system called the “top two” or “jungle” primary, under which every voter can vote for any candidates, and the top two vote-winners advance to the general election, regardless of party. That means it is theoretically possible for the general election to feature an all-Democrat — or, less frequently, all-Republican — final.

Until recently, Republicans feared being shut out from the November ballot in statewide races for governor and for U.S. Senate. Now, to their horror, Democrats could fail to make the November ballot in congressional races. more

  1. IF a Republican wins Gov., all he can do is not pass anything crazy.
    But you risk him saying all the right things and then slowly becoming a Schwarzenegger. By the way, the only time I voted for anyone in CA that won, was Ahhnoldt. And, he caved. Pfft.

  2. “IF a Republican wins Gov.”

    Not going to happen. It’s an open primary. Allen is polling at 10%, the carpet bagger, Cox is at 15%. Cox needs to drop out, which won’t happen.

  3. LCD, I don’t get that at all. Cox was a never Trumper. Voted for the green candidate. He’s from Chicago. Moved out here to run for Governor. Newt’s been running radio adds for him too.

  4. 14 years ago some (Not Democrats) in NoCal referred to the Mayor of Frisco as a Mick Jagger “wanna be”; “the father of California”. The mayor had many kids- but not near Mick’s 250. The mother of 1 of the Mayor’s kids was the wife of his campaign manager. In order today off the pimp, I mean husband (Be nice Grunt!), Mayor G. Got the city taxpayers to pay her a disability of $1,000,000! Whores + pimps in No cal actually do well!

    One of the many folk on my ballot for Governor is (now Lt. Gov.) Gavin Newsom.

    The man for whom I will not is the man with the nuts to make an add about Daddy Newsom. I only watch TV when at the gym, and have not seen it on TV. I’ve asked friends who watch TV at home and they were unaware of the add. The add is on the net; and if you are against the “population explosion” or a conservative it will tickle you.

    TRAVIS ALLEN is the man! El tine juevos! And he has balls! (My Spanish is better than any Bush! But then I am also smarter than any Bush!)
