As a former Californian, I felt that voters would take out the trash

I've learned to not count my chickens, but no...I didn't believe "conservative talk show host" Larry Elder was going to be the next Governor.

His "platform" was a promise to basically be Trump / McConnell...especially when he publicly salivated, McConnell-style, over replacing Feinstein with a Republican to restore their Senate majority.

He was the embodiment of Trumps musings about whether he could get away with "not helping the blue states" with COVID.

He's been caught on record as saying it's all an act to "trigger the libs."

California is not perfect...that's why I left in 2012, mainly being priced out of existence, but there were a few other reasons as well.

BUT...no matter WHAT challenges the state is facing right now, I instinctively knew they would not turn to Elder for the answers.

Way to go, CA voters. This former resident is proud of you.
