Why hasn’t a CA governor become President since President Reagan?
One would think running the country’s largest state would be great training for the job?

Reagan became President, 16 years after his Governor term.
Jerry Brown was too young when he tried his first run for President. All the Governors who succeeded him were nor credible, and one was not even eligible, born in Kenya or something :-)
As to California's alleged fiscal irresponsibility, you may note that under Jerry Brown's leadership, California was in the black.

I made no fiscal responsibility reference. My thoughts related solely to population and economic size. Another reader pointed out the same thing about NY not having a presidential candidate. I’m thr end it’s probably because the policy is of a a Cabot NY governor couldn’t win a national race? @Northwest

@jackjjackson Deukmejian was not nationwide material. Wilson was not nationwide material. They could not even balance the California budget.
People can say what they want about Jerry Brown, but all those who were California when he was Governor, know that for this first stretch, the Silicon Valley, materialized, leading the world and the school system was top notch. During his second stretch, he took the state from a near bankruptcy and produced a surplus, and California was back on top.

No doubt. Both Jerry and Arnold did surprisingly well during their governor stints. @Northwest
