California Democratic Party leaders took a step to the left Saturday night, endorsing liberal state lawmaker Kevin de León for Senate in a stinging rebuke of Democratic icon Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
De León’s victory reflected the increasing strength of the state party’s liberal activist core, which was energized by the election of Republican President Trump. The endorsement was an embarrassment for Feinstein, who is running for a fifth full term, and indicates that Democratic activists in California have soured on her reputation for pragmatism and deference to bipartisanship as Trump and a Republican-led Congress are attacking Democratic priorities on immigration, healthcare and environmental protections.
De León, a former state Senate leader from Los Angeles, received 65% of the vote of about 330 members of the state party’s executive board — more than the 60% needed to secure the endorsement. Feinstein, who pleaded with party leaders meeting in Oakland this weekend not to endorse any candidate, received 7%, and 28% voted for “no endorsement.”

I hate to agree with this part of the article as she has on a very few occasions actually been a pragmatist (not on guns) but on some foreign affairs issues. What is truly enlightening here is this shows the total removal of any facade of the cal dems being just liberals, this means they are complete far left zealots. The mask is completely off for anyone not blind to see it. The base used to be centered in SF and two counties around it, now it is wide spread along the coastal cities, the large population centers of the state and the west. At what point does the remainder of the country decide how to handle the gangrene that has happened as I see no hope for this state going forward.
I dislike her immensely but I admit she is truly a senator, this new clown is more in the mold of that idiot crank from MA the phony Indian always on a warpath.
Diane’s too white.
Is that DeLeon, or is that an illegal Dem voter?

liberal activist core == radical agitator core
The far left dems with their mental defect won’t be happy until free speech and gun rights are history and abortion is legal up to 1 year of age. Maybe two years.
Oh; and whitey’s are powerless. The worst politicians I see in action so far are either black or Hispanic. It’s clear they have an entirely different vision for the future of America based on their hate for the whites. They cry, scream, and bleat racism every single chance they get but the fact is no one is more racist than they are. That doesn’t let the crazy loon far left white pols off the hook. They are just as dangerous. It’s just that the blacks and Hispanics are usually more militant and vocal in their approach to tearing America apart.
CWII will definitely happen and a lot of innocent people will be killed in the process. The far left is making sure of it. Once it becomes a race war anyone on the other side that doesn’t look a certain way will be a target regardless of who they are or who they support. I hope there’s time to get loved ones out of harms way and into a neutral country for the duration because it will be unlike anything the world has ever seen if it happens the way the left plans it. Mass graves will be a necessity to prevent the disease and stink of all the dead rotting flesh from causing plague-like diseases. Biological warfare is almost a certainty to preserve the infrastructure which will be needed in the rebuilding of America once it’s all over with and there’s a clear winner with a clear message and future. God help us that will be us.
I see he’s wearing a calculator watch. Maybe does a little freelance accounting work?
Nominate for post of the day.
The dims started this ball rolling when they put up obama and his team. The party shifted hard left with their closet marxist, but now the marxists feel empowered and are dragging the party farther left.
The old dims who hid their marxism and contempt for this country are getting forced out. The culture of their party is shifting and they don’t know how to adapt.
but no one like de Leon or the Bronx woman are called left wing extremist. Impossible.
The extremists must somehow be used to defeat red state Democrats.
Vote Democrat and Clyburn will be Speaker of the House.
Cryin’ Chucky and his ilk will push an agenda which OH, MI, WS, PA , MN Senators claim to oppose.
Guess she wasn’t left enough.
what is the makeup of CA Senate & House? Guessing they are far left too.
Awaiting San Andreas at this point.

He’s an old hippie
And he don’t know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He’s an old hippie
This new life is just a bust
He ain’t trying to change nobody
He’s just trying real hard to adjust
Old Hippie
