The party leaders have very little control of anything these days. No smokey rooms anymore. All you have to do is run for your party's nomination. That's it. No one can stop you.
If Jones could win California by opposing illegal immigration, then an outspokenly anti-illegal candidate would have easily won the GOP nomination and would be cruising to victory over the stupidest member of the Senate. Methinks you overestimate your fellow Californians. To: AmishDude

Which Californians do I overestimate, exactly?
The Californians who refuse to elect a Federal official who will vigorously oppose illegal immigration.

I know Kemp and Bennett opposed 187. I don't know why you lump Bush or which one or if he or his father opposed it or whether it's one of those he-didn't-say-anything-so-he-must-have-supported-it things, but I can tell you that Kemp and Bennett do not make between them a feather, let alone a wing.
"I've shown that the CA electorate is not Illegal-friendly, since 1994."
I've never known californians to be illegal friendly in the 66 years that I have been here!
That includes the bracero program if you exclude the farmers.
