Republicans to the polls.... they have to KNOW that he is going to lose, right?
Further, from what I have observed of him (which is precisely NOTHING, of course),
it would seem he is only a lukewarm magat who doesn't care to promote the MAGAt king very much---
maybe he wishes to attempt to "thread the needle" between being seen as a loyal Republican
and being seen as a 'reasonable' Republican with the General election voters...
but before this campaign I have never heard of him as being a 'political person' in any instance whatsoever.
He is an aging ex-baseball player who had a great name in the 1970's,
which is the only reason he was a viable candidate for the GOP in this race.
The Republicans who turn out in the General Election will do so because of TRUMP!!!
The fact that Schiff has been a major figure of hatred by the MAGAts because of his opposition to Trump,
is not going to draw any more GOP voters--- all of those who hate him for it,
will already be voting anyway, if Trump is on the ballot.
Certainly, Schiff's nomination for the Senate is not going to draw additional
'moderate Republicans' to the polls (if such animals still exist, lol).
To the extent that Katy Porter might have run a campaign further to the left than Schiff,
I think THAT might have drawn more Republicans to vote in November who might have stayed home,
than the campaign that Schiff will run. He can frankly "coast" to victory in California.
Just my opinion, respectfully submitted.
