I wonder what it could be . . .

Gov. Gavin Newsom said he has a secret ā€œbreak the glassā€ plan to prevent California from electing a Republican governor — though he’s stubbornly refused to make an endorsement in the race to succeed him.

The governor revealed the secret contingency plan to prevent two Republicans from advancing in the governor election — as polls show Trump-endorsed Steve Hilton near the top of the field in the packed race.


Newsom alluded to ā€œaction effortsā€ behind the scenes to make sure Democrats aren’t locked out of the governor’s race, saying he ā€œmaking my caseā€ to ā€œencourage that doesn’t happen.ā€

Recent surveys show Democratic frontrunner Xavier Becerra and Hilton as favorites among registered voters, with billionaire Tom Steyer, Republican Riverside Sheriff Chad Bianco and Democrat Katie Porter trailing a few points behind.


My guess is that the plan involves him somehow persuading all but one Democrat to drop out just before the "Jungle Primary" vote. I don't know how he would do that, except maybe to promise them a cabinet spot after he wins the presidency in 2028. The second through last place Democrats may go for that, unlikely as the payoff seems.
 
My guess is several crates of "lost ballots" ready in the basement of the Governor's mansion.
 
Who do you think the (R) Governor will be?

CT much.
What a life you have, or is it missing?

Dunno.

If Newsom's secret plan succeeds, and he gets a Dem on the ballot, there may not be a Republican governor.

If there are two Republicans, the fast that Trump endorsed Hilton may bring Democrat out to vote for whatever other Republican is on the ballot.

Who would you most like to see get on the ballot via the Newsom get-round-the-voters Plan?

Doesn't Matter much.
Do you really think a (R) can win?
Unless the Steal is On.

It looks like they'll have two (R)s on the ballot, unless the secret plan works.

If that happens, do you think a Dem can win by write in?

Have you shown this "Secret Plan"?

Let's see it.
