Voters in California’s 29th State Senate district recalled freshman Democrat Josh Newman in Tuesady’s California primary over his vote for Governor Jerry Brown’s 12-cent-per-gallon gas tax hike, replacing him with Republican Ling Ling Chang and definitively denying Democrats a supermajority in the upper house.

Congrats to John & Ken from KFI for throwing this hack into the dumpster. I live in VA but listen to John & Ken podcast to keep up with how much CA is a dumpster fire and remind me to give thanks for moving out.

From a casual reading looks like no.

But you are in VA, and from what I have heard VA is turning into a toilet like us here in CA and for the same reasons: Liberal transplants for the North East and massive illegal immigration.

A Democrat from a GOP majority district.

He was always living on borrowed time, but his vote for a gas tax increase sank him.

BTW, a gas tax increase repeal measure is on the November ballot, which should bring out Republican voters.

Then there is Cox.

California needs to organize pissed off citizens to go after the Marxists who are now telling us how many times the people of California can flush their toilets and how long they have to shower. Next they will be in everyone’s bedrooms regulating their sex lives, wanna bet?

Clean the California sewer starting immediately. Exposing the corruption and links to solar companies and whose being handed money under the table for the Moonbeam train to nowhere. Show us a RAT project and show us the corruption involved. The list is endless. I don’t believe there’s a Liberal who isn’t corrupt!

We are a good decade behind CA. So maybe I will be able to run out the clock before it gets to CA level. The key moment will be if VA state workers are given the ability of collective bargaining.

“Exposing the corruption and links to solar companies and whose being handed money under the table for the Moonbeam train to nowhere. “

Victor Davis Hansen likens the “train to nowhere” to a not to distant future Stonehenge.

Voting in California is almost a lost cause. Too many illegals’ votes are counted.

The Dem voters in California are stupid. No other way to say it. When they passed the gas tax and the local news stations put it on Facebook almost every post was.....we didn’t vote for this! Why wasn’t this put to a vote? They can’t connect the dots that their votes vote for the people who vote for this crap.

Few people admit to voting for Moonbeam Brown. I believe that voter fraud, felons, and illegals voted for Moonbeam. As for the gas tax, the human waste in the CA Assembly put the gas tax on without the voters having a say in it just like the water limits on flushing and showering. Liberals are truly insane. The people of California are pissed; big-time pissed. Don’t think they’re not. They’re also moving out of the sewer that is now California by the thousands. Everyone I talk to is looking at where they want to move to. It’s a mass exodus out of California for those who can leave.

The third-world State of California stinks and is rotting thanks to Liberals. The only hope California has is for John Cox to become Governor and the citizens of CA to elect more Republicans to the Assembly and Senate in November!! Gavin Newsom is a bottom-feeding Marxist who must be exposed as such and defeated.

As of right now, the GOP in CA consists of spineless, gutless eunuchs. God willing, President Trump can expose them as such and shame them into fighting back.

I wouldn’t trust the election returns in California as far as I could throw ‘em. 24 years since a Congressional Democrat incumbent was defeated. Over 630 races and not a one that results in a single Dem defeat ? That’s a statistical impossibility. If the Dems defeat any of the pathetically tiny GOP incumbents in the state without a single Republican defeat of a Dem incumbent in a GOP area will once again make my point of massive voter fraud.
