Quote:An Urgent Debate for California Republicans: How to Get Back in the Game
Quote:WHITTIER, Calif. — For anyone wondering about the state of the Republican Party in California these days, consider this: There may be no Republican candidate for governor or United States senator on the state’s ballot this November.
Quote:Under the California election system, candidates compete in an open, nonpartisan primary on June 5. The two candidates who get the most votes — regardless of party — advance to the November general election.
If Republicans fall short in capturing one of those two November slots next month, which members of both parties say is a strong possibility, it would apparently be the first election where there was no major party candidate for both the Senate and governor races since 1914.
Only if this becomes the norm for 26 or more states permanently would this country have a future as a country. A country can not survive as cohrent state or as a union of people of different economic interests when the party of traitors that would happily sell out the interest of the state or the union to advance the interest of one particular social economic group is regarded one legitimate end of a mainstream political spectrum.
