Californians are not completely stupid. They keep giving up Democrats for president but when they get sick of their taxes being raised, they elect a

@Northwest But that's OK because the GQP can build the Newest Big Lie and say the election was stolen and build a mountain moving into the 22 election. No proof needed. All they need is Fox, Oan, Newsmax, Breitbart ...

@Pitchblue Fox Headline now:

SEE THE MAP: Live results of recall election as polls close and nation holds breath to see Newsom's fate.

Not much point holding your breath with these results, but leave it to Fox.

@Northwest Hold your breath. It's so close. Expect the results to be contested. Expect every result the Republicans don't like to be contested in 22.

@Pitchblue SF County is nearly 8 to 1. San Mateo is nearly 4.5 to 1, Santa Clara is about 3.5 to 1, LA Country is nearly 3.5 to 1.

@Northwest But it still won't matter because that will never be reported in Red States. It will be another rigged election on those Sinclair stations and then the regular stations like NBC etc will report on that.

@Northwest Didn't Bannon turn on Elder even befor voting started this morning? Saying the GQP had this in the bag but Larry lost it for them.

@Pitchblue It's not close at all. Filing non-credible lawsuits will only land the attorneys in the same boat as Sydney Powell and Rudy Giuliani and embarrass Republicans even more. They have adopted a losing strategy that appeals at most to 29% of the population. McConnell was right in political distancing from Baby-trump; McCarthy was wrong in kissing Baby-trump's ass.

@Pitchblue I don't know about Bannon. They can say what they want, but Elder is the top GOP voice in California. That's telling.

@MarkPaul Hope you are right because the GQP seems to be telling McCarthy what to do instead of the other way around. It just doesn't seem to matter what the truth is. As a matter of fact change the lies up to totally confuse people because they know the base will always come down on their side, no matter what. The lies have become outrageous but it still doesn't matter 70 million still voted in favor of bullshit.

@Pitchblue 83 million will always beat 70 million. Math.

@Pitchblue McCarthy is currently having his ass served on a platter by California's voters. Even in Orange County, it is not even close.

@MarkPaul Doesn't help the country at all. Division is the number one strategy of the Republican Party.

@Northwest But again No One in the Trump Base is ever going to see that Trump etc supported Elder and he got his ass handed to him. Fox is still holding their breath to see who wins.

@Pitchblue And, as long as division is their strategy they will promote extremism which will hold them dear to only a minority of the population. For now, that's a win... just like in California.

@MarkPaul OK, but sucking up to White Supremacy and politicizing a pandemic and still getting 70 mill looks really dangerous to me.

@Pitchblue It sounds like you want "the base" to renounce Sharia Law, Baby-trump, and insurrectionist terrorism over night. That's not going to happen. It's not even worth the effort to wish for that. Moderation is the key to defeat them, but over time.
