“Those who will not vote in the General Election if Devore doesn’t win, or will choose to write in Devore in the General if he doesn’t make the cut, are just Useful Idiots for Boxer.”
I worked on the Bruce Hershchensohn campaign when he ran against Boxer. Bruce defeated Tom Campbell for the nomination in 1992. I remember very clearly Campbell’s Big Tent GOP supporters announcing that there was no way that they would vote for Bruce in the General Election.
As usual it’s the “moderates” who make a lot of noise about how only their chosen candidate can win. And you know they’re right- because your crowd has a history of not voting for the conservatives.
I used to say Barbara Boxer was as dumb as a box of rocks. Now I use a more accurate comment. Barbara Boxer is as dumb as a box of, well, Barbara Boxers.
