1. As long as we get out the vote. Nothing should be taken for granted

[ZonkerHarris]

12. We need to keep other ambitious Democrats out of the race. Last time a bunch ran, they

diluted the vote and Arnold won.
We need to keep them out or say Hello Gov Jenner.

[JohnSJ]

14. Agreed, but we do need at least one credible Democrat in case the recall succeeds

The recall won’t succeed as long as we get out the vote

Unnecessary money is getting wasted on this

[ZonkerHarris]

18. That candidate is Newsom. GOP doesn't get to take our Gov away just because they don't like losing

Fuck all of them

[JohnSJ]

19. That isn't my point. I am against the recall, and will vote no on it, but if the recall is

successful, then the candidate with the most votes if the recall is successful will be governor, and if we don’t have an insurance candidate in that case, then a repute will probably be the governor

Right now it looks like the recall will fail, and I have donated to Newsom to see that it does, but we better have a backup candidate, one who will vote against the recall, but be there just in case

[ZonkerHarris]

20. More Democrats on the ballot dilute the vote and thats how we lose

[JohnSJ]

21. If the recall fails, the alternative candidate for governor doesn't count. It only counts

if the recall is successful

Most importantly “The official against whom the recall is sought cannot submit himself or herself as a possible replacement candidate.”

That is why Steyer is considering jumping in. Telling people to vote against the recall, but there as a backup

[ZonkerHarris]

25. Steyer is the worst

[JohnSJ]

26. I don't care as long as we have a backup SOLID Democrat if it passes, which I don't think it will

The reason I mentioned Steyer is because he was the only Democrat who said he might consider it, but vote against the recall and encourage others to do likewise

[JI7]

23. Arnold won becsuse a lot of Democrats supported him

[JohnSJ]

27. Arnold won because too people played this as a circus and exploited our insane system

where we had over fifty candidates for Governor, and too many voted for the recall to get their name in lights. It was an embarrassment

Davis was setup by Enron, and other rethugs which artificially created the situation

Arnold put our state very much in debt, which Brown not only cleaned up, but gave us a surplus

Newsom hit a lot of bad luck, and the fires were helped along by the feds not cleaning and maintaining the areas they were supposed to where a lot of the fire occurred, along with the drought and pandemic

Fortunately, I think most California’s realize what is going on, and the recall will not be successful

2. Who Is Newsome? nt

[helpisontheway]

3. Governor of CA. Nt

[onecaliberal]

7. Newsom.

😬

[Pachamama]

4. He is a good Governor

But drop the “e”....it’s Newsom...

[BlueNProud]

5. Its ridiculous that the gop gets away with this crap

they recalled gray Davis for no reason and they trying to do it again now.

[Initech]

6. Well look at the circus of clowns that have announced candidacies so far. They got nothing!

Seriously... Caitlyn Jenner? You really think they're going to rally around a trans athlete? Or Randy Quaid? That guy is way too batshit fucking crazy and he's not even allowed in the state because of past crimes he's been arrested for!

I mean seriously...

[onecaliberal]

8. Let them fight each other's stupidity.

Gavin is governing.

[Iggo]

9. Gary Coleman? A porn star? The Terminator?

Sound familiar? That was the last circus. And those were the best of the bunch! 😂🤣😂🤣

Seriously, though, just like last time, the Governor is not running against any other candidates. He’s running against the recall. If the recall is successful, then we get whoever gets shook out of the clown car.

[ZonkerHarris]

13. They said that kind of stuff about Trump too. Celebrity candidate are all the GOP has

and they win with them.
We need to fight hard here.

[msfiddlestix]

10. thank you, I've been on the edge of feeling very very freaked over this.

we have a bad experience not so long ago.

[ColinC]

11. California leading in the COVID recovery is definitely not hurting him.

[sarcasmo]

15. Randy Quaid is all in.

[gratuitous]

16. Curious that without the former guy tweeting out his eternal nonsense

Democrats enjoy consistently positive ratings.

[gldstwmn]

17. Good. Let the other side spend their money on Caitlin Jenner.

[calimary]

22. GOOD!

[WarGamer]

24. Depends on turnout.
