FDT won’t be running as a candidate in only California.
He’ll be running as a candidate for ALL of the USA.
Arnold’s team did a great job with his campaign.
However, FDT’s campaign won’t have to be left leaning to be palatable for the moderate CA voter.
Heck...I think CA has already been written off. ;o)
In any case, I expect FDT to set policy, and anyone who thinks he won’t be the one to do that is deluding themselves.
That may be about to change as there is a effort to change the winner take all electoral votes to a district by district count. We have to get the initiative certified in time for the primary.
We are talking about the Republican Primary here. What ever made you think Republicans in California are liberal? Don't use Arnold as an example because he did not win the office in a Republican primary -- it was a special election where everyone voted.
In fact the opposite is true. Republicans in California are quite conservative.
