Larry Elder, ‘Gracious in Defeat’: ‘We May Have Lost the Battle, but We Are Going to Win the War’
Breitbart ^ | 09/15/2021 | Joel B Pollack

Conservative talk radio host Larry Elder told supporters to be “gracious in defeat” as he conceded the results of the recall election on Tuesday night, which Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) won in a landslide, crushing an effort to unseat him.

As of Wednesday morning, the “no” vote led the “yes” vote by nearly two-to-one (64.2.% to 35.8%), a stunning result given that several polls of likely California voters in late July showed Newsom within the margin of error or even losing.

“We may have lost the battle, but we are going to win the war,” Elder told supporters, urging them to take heart that they had drawn attention to key issues like public school choice. Notably, he stopped short of congratulating Newsom himself

Elder won, but lost.

He won the secondary election for who should replace Newsom in the event of recall. Unfortunately, Newsom survived the recall vote, so winning the election to succeed him meant nothing.

Still, I’d rather win it than not. Imagine all the other candidates.

They stole 2020 with absolutely no repercussions. Every election where Democrats control the machinery will be stolen henceforth. Sad, but that’s where we’re at.

This was easy to see. The commies have learned to commit fraud and no one is there to stop them.

The left discovered the perpetual vote creation machine in 2020 and they aren't going to give it up without a fight.

I'm only wondering in 2024 will it still be covid or a new mystery virus that's used as the excuse to shut everything down.

I really want to know how you have any hope for a staunch conservative guy like Elder to win in a ultra-staunch liberal state like CA.

No chance.

It stinks, but that would not be one of the reasons: voting to keep Gruesome is incompatible with voting for any of the other candidates, which would explain why Dems got so few votes relative to their percentage of No votes on recall.

Massive fraud is real.

When there is fraud it is impossible to figure out what is actually happening with the real voting.

With no reliable data it is impossible to reach reasonable conclusions.

So—you may be right or you may be wrong. There is no way to tell.

Where is “Or Both”? Bear in mind this was a local election — a recall, actually — in a far-Left, single-party state.

Occam’s razor typically points to there needing to be real proof for something to be true. Speculation isn’t interesting in the real world.

Occam’s razor is an excellent to way to hide the truth—if it is inconvenient enough to be complex.

The real truth is we’ve been overrun with illegals. Every year more and more conservatives die and more young liberals start voting.

We’ve heard ‘demographics are destiny’ for a long time now and people are acting shocked when it actually kicks in.

Presumably Democratic voters weren’t voting for someone other than Newsom.

Not stunning when you consider mail in ballots and Dominion. The polls were likely closer to reality than the vote count.

CA was lost when "motor voter" was created. I personally observed a DMV employee coaching a Spanish speaker through a driver's license exam. I can't prove the test taker was a non-US citizen, but the end result of that session was a CA driver's license and registration to vote. Lather, rinse, repeat until you have a reliable Democrat voter base.
