Those who didn't vote for Cox.
Those who didn't vote for Cox tonight because you're sour about Travis Allen losing. Those who didn't like Newsom and Cox so didn't vote for neither. Those who were just too lazy to vote. THUMBS DOWN. This was a uphill fight but it wasn't a landslide win for Newsom.

. . . we finally got a Rep candidate on the ballot and let that slim chance slip away. Cox wasn't my first choice, but he would've been infinitely better than GN.

I'm pretty sure most of the Allen supporters gave their vote to Cox. It was always a long shot or have you forgotten we're in CA.

I agree, there was even some ****wits that said they would not vote for governor at all on this very forum. It's pretty damn pathetic. And Gavin did not get the landslide everybody else said he would.

Liberal Politicians already know this, which is why they pad their own nests. If Conservatives can't find a way to reach voters in the cities and suburbs the nation will follow. Thank God we are gaining SCOTUS to slow down their agenda.

That's nothing that a good earthquake that causes San Francisco and Hollywood to fall off into the Pacific would solve for the rest of us peace loving Californians.

There's 3.8M more registered dems in CA than registered repubs. Cox had no chance to win.

Newsom would have had to defile his marriage by cheating with his best friend's wife for Dems to have not voted for him.
Oh, wait.... WHAT?!?!?

I voted for Frankenstein- as did many others here. Does that count? We basically retired DeLeon by doing so.

No. Fi is a hardcore GOP, comparing to DeLeon. You did the right thing

Regardless of the fact that Newsom was most likely to win, it was a very bad move for 2 Republicans to go for the vote. Of those two, Cox was the least likable. I believe without Cox in the run, Allen could have pulled it off. Voters want pretty people, which is why Texas Trudeau got so much support from all directions. He was to win against Cruz and then run for Prez. in 2020.
That being said, there's a chance that Newsom will have higher ambitions on a national level once his California gig is over. |

100%. He surely wants to run for POTUS. And unfortunately I can see him winning.

I completely agree with this. I didn't even realize Cox was running until just before the Primaries when Trump endorsed him. If it was JUST Allen, I think we would have had a more solid chance. Allen had the "politician" look that Californians seem to like, experience, etc. Not sure why Trump went with Cox. |

Which reminds me of a serious Democratic party split in California. I recall receiving a voter's flyer from Newsom, which among other Dem choices endorsed a … Rep for the House, even though she ran against Warren's backed Dem. It was sort of amusing. So, Dems are biting each other real hard.

Cox being a longshot is an understatement. Newsom didn't even have to campaign to win. Didn't even bother submitting a candidate statement for the voter information guide, and the race was called at 8:01pm.
So now we got the guy that literally turned SF into a toilet as our governor. Great! |

Cox lost because of Republican and Independent crossovers and apathy. These people must think weaponizing the FBI against the opposition party, foreign invasions, and fake bombs are acceptable. The same puppet-masters who brought you these events are at work in CA. To those I speak of: Enjoy the repeal of Prop 13 as it is surely coming. |

you guys know that while registered D's outnumber registered R's in this state, the turnout for this mid-term in CA was only 36.9% ; this is actually less than the 2014 mid-term elections. so all those "get out to vote" crap that the Dems keep pushing for younger adults to go vote always fall on deaf ears.
https://vote.sos.ca.gov/returns/maps/voter-turnout so it didn't matter that the D's had 3.8 million more voters, 2/3 of them stayed home. but if 100% of the R voters had come out to vote for Cox, he might have had a chance to win. as it stood, a little less than half the total R voters voted for Cox. and that is assuming no one from the No Party voted for Cox or some D voters voting for Cox too (it can happen). so the reason this state is "controlled" by the Democrats is because 2/3 of the republicans in this state won't even go vote.

1. Even if each and every Allen's fan voted for Cox, it wouldn't change the outcome 2. 60-40 split is the same in both primaries and general elections. It means Allen's fans didn't slack. |

Its about turnout. An 85% +/- turnout of registered Republicans would have won the election for Cox. Its stacked against us but the numbers are there to easily win if people could muster the strength to fill in a bubble.

The number of democrates doesn't matter if more of us vote. Next election tell you lazy friends and family to get off their arshes and vote! Out of almost 40 million, only 7 million voted. I'm done with buying guns and ammo but I'll still stay current on the laws and still visit this forum, and I will always vote no matter how far behind things might seem. Never give up! |

Come on now. The Republicans run a fundamentalist carpet bagger, in CALIFORNIA, and you wonder why he lost?
Until the GOP gets their crap together in this state, they'll continue to lose.
