Elder has Dem establishment in panic mode in California

 The Lid:

With the Sept. 14 recall election targeting California Gov. Gavin Newsom looming on the horizon, liberal media outlets and power-conscious Democrats are scrambling to defend the governor. In the process, they are revealing just how terrified they are of losing, especially to conservative front-runner Larry Elder.

The New York Times published an opinion hit piece decrying Elder’s politics.

The Guardian acknowledges that what started out as a political sideshow now has Newsom dashing across the California landscape trying to keep his job, and he may lose. As if to exhibit their bias, the Guardian story notes, “But with California’s gubernatorial recall election underway, Newsom is fighting for his political life. The Democratic governor of a deep blue state could narrowly lose his seat to a fringe rightwing radio host – in large part due to inertia and apathy among voters.”

A group calling itself the National Democratic Training Committee is out with an email blast declaring, “Gavin Newsom could LOSE. Republicans could succeed and STEAL this election.” This group goes on to tell email recipients, “We have too much on the line to let Newsom lose. The stakes couldn’t be higher.”

But read down a few more lines, and the Democrat group fearfully acknowledges, “If Republicans can win in California, a Democratic stronghold, Republicans can win everywhere. Democrats would feel this loss NATIONALLY.”

In his opinion piece, New York Times writer Farhad Manjoo admits, “Newsom’s recall is no longer a sideshow. With Elder as a front-runner, it’s one more looming disaster for our beleaguered state. On top of everything else — on top of the pandemic, droughts, the wildfires, and unbreathable air — this state has a new emergency to worry about. Unless California’s Democrats wake up, in three weeks’ time, a Trumpian provocateur could well be chosen to run one of the nation’s bluest states.”

The Libs seem to overlook the fact that their policies in dealing with the pandemic forestry control and dumping water into the ocean to save bait fish rather than saving it for the people are the reasons they are in such trouble in California.  Liberalism has been an ongoing disaster for California as people are literally fleeing the state.  Elder is the state's best chance of recovering from the evils of liberalism.

This is more evidence that Newsom was wrong and DeSantis was right in responding to the pandemic. 

This probably will not help Newsom:
