3. Garamendi is right on here but he's not that well respected here in CA. He's kind of a hack

4. I think a lot of Californians respect him for fighting Ins. Cos.

and I seem to recall he was involved in helping California fight against Wall Street crooksters. Haven't been there in a while so not as plugged in to local stuff.

5. He was a good Ins Comm. but then started district shopping after losing the Gov race.

6. Sanders caused the problem, he needs to fix it.

Sanders just spent the last year demonizing Hillary and smearing her as a liar. How does he expect Hillary to convince his followers of anything now? It is he who must tell his followers that she is a progressive. It is he who must apologize for saying those things that created the disunity.

If Marco Rubio can announce he apologized to Trump, Sanders can do the same for Hillary.
