remaining Democrats who are still polling low after the debates drop out before the primary, and get behind one or two of the Democrats who are polling well, because if that doesn't happen there is a real chance we could have a maga governor.

Right now I am leaning toward Bercerra, but after the debates, I will lean toward the Democrat that is polling closest to 15% or better, and who I think has the best chance to make the general election. That will most likely be Bercerra, Steyer, or Porter, and those Democrats who are polling less than 10% after the debates need to seriously consider dropping out, and endorsing on of the other Democrats polling 10% or better IMHO.

If the worst happens and a maga becomes governor, the only hope we have is that we maintain a super majority in the California Assembly and Senate.
