Get used to it, California is a leftist state. In 2016, California had twice as many registered Democrats as Republican's.
California has the 6th largest economy in the world. It leads the U.S. Economy, away From Trump. Whatever the president says, this state does the opposite. It's working.

Bullfuckingshit! This state is #1 in poor quality of life. Taxed to death, running businesses out of the state, I recently read 100,000 more people left the state than came in last year. Protecting illegals and taxing citizens to pay for it.....Newsom and his pro-drug movement completely fucked San Fran, nothing but horror stories out of there now.
Travis Allen for the win!! Make California Great Again!!

Republican businessman John Cox is shaking up the gubernatorial contest in liberal California, as he enjoys a strong position in the polls and the full-throated endorsement of President Trump ahead of next week's primary.
“California has a rare opportunity to turn things around and solve its high crime, high tax, problems -- along with so many others,” Trump tweeted on Memorial Day, 10 days after first endorsing Cox. “On June 5th, vote for GOP Gubernatorial Candidate JOHN COX, a really good and highly competent man. He’ll Make California Great Again!”

Democratic Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is still the clear front-runner in the race. But Cox could advance to the general election if he secures a second-place finish next Tuesday -- thanks to the state's unique "jungle primary" system that advances the top two finishers regardless of party.
Even a spot on the November ballot would mark a win for Republicans in the increasingly liberal state, where Democrats have controlled the legislature roughly 90 percent of the time and have held both U.S. Senate seats since 1992.

Not looking good for Travis. :-\ It might be better for him to drop out and have his supporters go with Cox, giving the (R) a better fighting chance of securing a spot on November ballot.

Democrat Gavin Newsom, Republican John Cox to face off in November general election for California governor
Liberal Democrat Gavin Newsom and Trump-backed Republican John H. Cox will face off in the November general election to decide California's next governor.
Based on 99 percent of precincts reporting Tuesday's statewide primary results, Newsom had 33 percent of the vote and first place while Cox was next with 26 percent.
Twenty-seven candidates were vying for the two top spots.
Under California's unusual "jungle primary" system, only the top two vote-getters — regardless of party — advance to the general election.
Newsom led Cox as returns continued to roll in, 34 percent to 26 percent. Antonio Villaraigosa, the Democratic former mayor of Los Angeles, had 13 percent, while Republican Assemblyman Travis Allen drew 10 percent of votes, followed by the other two major Democrats. State Treasurer John Chiang had 9 percent and former state schools chief Delaine Eastin was drawing 3 percent of the vote.

Nearly a quarter of the nation’s homeless population lives in California — about 134,000 people who often have carved out patches of curb, riverbed, public park or town square to live.
California has the highest percentage of homeless people living outside or in cars — advocates consider them the “unsheltered.” Eight in 10 homeless people here under the age of 21 live outdoors, nearly twice the rate in other states.

No it doesn't. Do you suppose wealth distribution has something to do with this?
"Like much of America, California's wealth is concentrated among a small group of high-income earners. The state has 16 million households, and just 61,000 of them -- 0.4 percent -- together account for one-fifth of the state's income", according to the latest tax return figures from the Franchise Tax Board.Dec 14, 2016

MY POLICY AGENDA
California has the highest poverty rate in the nation. Our schools are failing and millions of forgotten Californians cannot afford decent housing. Millions more must choose between buying a half tank of gas or groceries for their families, this is a choice no one should have to make. All of this happened on Gavin Newsom’s watch. Here are John Cox’s priorities to fix California.
Affordability
If Gavin Newsom cared about struggling California families, he wouldn’t support regressive taxes that hit the poor hardest. Caltrans is one of the most corrupt bureaucracies on the planet, spending more than double the national average to build and maintain a mile of highway. Voters can fight back by passing Proposition 6 to repeal this onerous tax. [link to Gas Tax page with posted stories of John and the gas tax. California’s sky-high sales taxes, vehicle license fees, and the highest gasoline taxes in the nation are a major reason so many families just can’t make ends meet anymore. These high fees are a major reason California now has the highest poverty rate in the nation. The most urgent need right now is to repeal the new vehicle license and gas tax increases.
Millions of Californians are struggling. They are the forgotten ones falling through the cracks. Their choices are either working two or three jobs to afford basic housing, groceries, and energy, or moving their families out of California. For seven years as Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom did nothing to take on the privileged class of lobbyists, politicians and insiders who have rigged the system to their advantage. John Cox vows as Governor to take on the special interests and, in his words, “clean out the barn”.
Environment & Energy
California needs an environmental policy free from the corrupting influence of special interests on both sides. One that manages our forests, and delivers clean air and drinking water.
Any environmental or energy policy in California must focus on creative solutions that prioritize both environmental protection and the ability of Californians forgotten by the Sacramento political class to afford to pay their rent and put food on the table for their families.
John Cox supports clean energy efforts and that begins at home by driving an electric car. He opposes any new or expanded offshore oil drilling because he believe its important to focus on what we can do to ensure we protect California’s coastline, natural habitat and ocean waters.
As Governor, John Cox will work to continue California’s environmental stewardship by working to expand clean energy options.
Healthcare
If you think access to quality health care is tough now, imagine if the DMV was in charge. If Gavin Newsom gets his way, expect the same long lines at your doctor’s waiting room as at your local DMV office. And since the prices will be set by the politicians, the lobbyists will have a field day padding the bills. Long lines, lower quality, higher costs. John Cox will take on Pharma, the HMO’s and the insurance companies and put health care consumers back in charge.
Homelessness: Time to Get Serious
In Gavin Newsom’s San Francisco, the playgrounds are littered with drug needles and the sidewalks are covered with human feces. Instead of fixing the root problem, they’ve just hired $130,000 a year “poop police” to walk around the city with shovels. That’s not a policy, it’s an admission of defeat.
Unlike other states, the majority of those on California streets are there simply because they’ve been priced out of their homes. By rapidly increasing the supply of affordable housing, we can help those people help themselves, and then focus on treatment options for the mentally ill and substance addicts. Two different problems. Two different solutions. John Cox will prioritize them both.
Housing
It shouldn’t cost twice as much to build a house in California as in other states. John Cox spent decades building and renovating housing in other states at less than half the California cost. Red tape, taxes, sweetheart contract deals, fees and outdated environmental rules have created this problem. The answer is to streamline the approval process for building housing and remove the artificial barriers put in place by the lobbyists and politicians.
Earlier this year John Cox proposed a plan to build more housing and spur economic growth through a reform of the California Environment Quality Act. Click here to read Thinking Boldly About Housing in California and CEQA.
Immigration: Fixing a Broken System
John Cox flatly rejects Gavin Newsom’s “sanctuary state” policies that have allowed violent criminal aliens to escape prosecution. Cox favors what he calls “smart immigration” that favors those with skills needed to fill specific worker shortages instead of competing with Americans for jobs. He also supports securing the border to stem the flow of illegal guns and human trafficking that’s plaguing our inner cities.
Transportation: Cox opposes the High Speed Rail Project in contrast to his opponent Gavin Newsom. He believes that we can better invest in roads, highways and more efficient transit projects. As Governor he will call for CEQA Reform for Highway Projects (modeled on prior legislation affecting sports stadiums; exceptions for threats to health and safety, Native American heritage sites, etc.).
In addition there are billions in reforms that can get projects moving now. Including but not limited to, dedicating a percentage of motor vehicle sales and use taxes to transportation projects, dedicate percentage of “cap-and-trade” fees to transportation projects, dedicate vehicle insurance taxes to transportation funding, $100 million redirected bond payments and cap-and-trade funds currently allocated to High Speed Rail to transportation projects.
Water & Agriculture: The complete failure of the Sacramento establishment to provide the necessary funding, authorization, and will to build adequate surface water storage is the single greatest reason California continues to suffer unnecessary water shortages. Even the most recent approval of funds by the California Water Commission for both the Sites and Temperance Flat reservoirs are but a fraction of the funds needed to complete these two vital water storage projects. John Cox will prioritize these projects and also bring the focus back to protecting farmers, ranchers and our food supply.

California may be the leader in poverty, but it is hardly alone. Abject poverty is found in every major city and many rural areas.
Oregon is in the midst of a Governor's race. Both Knute Buehler R and Governor Kate Brown D say they will fix what ails us, including homelessness, underfunding education and whatever else is the hot topic of the moment. It is most likely that neither can do what they claim.
Former Governor, resigned his office amid allegations of criminal wrongdoing, almost exactly one month after being sworn in for an unprecedented fourth term.

Should the former San Francisco mayor (NEWSOM) fulfill expectations and become California’s next governor, he would bring with him a policy agenda more liberal than any other blue-state governor.
He wants health care for everyone, including immigrants in the country illegally. He supports universal preschool and at least two years of tuition-free community college. He wants to get rid of California's cash bail system. He would seek to run the state's energy grid solely on renewable energy.
Newsom's wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, also wants to take on major policy initiatives, including ending early childhood poverty, ensuring access to affordable child care and working to end the gender pay gap.
It would not be the frugal path pursued by Brown, who over his last two terms leading the nation's most populous state has brought California back from a recession, built a strong state budget with $9 billion in reserves and shepherded a booming economy that is now the fifth largest in the world.
Newsom's biggest goals, on homelessness, health care and education, would be expensive, and Brown has warned the state can expect an economic downturn. To pay for government-financed single-payer health care alone, for example, Californians would be on the hook for huge tax increases to cover the estimated $400 billion price tag.
Cox was unapologetic about running with President Donald Trump's endorsement in a heavily Democratic state.
"It wasn't Donald Trump who made California the highest-taxed nation in the country, it was Gavin Newsom and the Democrats," Cox told his supporters on Tuesday evening. "It wasn't Donald Trump who piled on the fees, taxes, the regulations, the delay that has made our housing the most expensive in the country ..."

Oh, he'll win. California's done. The people there are braindead - didn't you watch the Emmy's? Other than the creative oasis in Silicon Valley/Palo Alto, and the film industry in Hollywood (which includes the porn business based out of the San Fernando valley), the state is literally a desert of stupidity, Latino gangbangers, and poor whites who feel they've wrong the entire planet and need to accelerate communism without going through socialism too, which is ironically too extreme even for what Karl Marx wrote 140 years ago.

If you have an idea how to reduce poverty and homelessness, you should share it.

If you have an idea how to reduce poverty and homelessness, you should share it.
It's called getting a job. Even homeless people and ex-cons can do it, I know a few myself. But that requires the ability to stick to a schedule, respect others, listen to instructions from a superior, and bathe (in the case of the bums) or avoid taking things that don't belong to you or punching those you disagree with (for the cons).
There's more than enough unskilled work to go around since Trump took office. This isn't 2009 as the recession looms over the world. Anyone not working now either can't (due to mental derangement) or doesn't want to (due to entitlement programs like the ones Mr. Newsom wants passed, as if the existing ones weren't enough).

Anyone not working now either can't (due to mental derangement) or doesn't want to (due to entitlement programs like the ones Mr. Newsom wants passed, as if the existing ones weren't enough).
Yes, personal responsibility, something the left never requires anyone unless they are a successful person or conservative. Newsom is a smart guy and knows there is no way this could be funded but is just feeding red meat to the base made up of welfare bums and Utopian believing leftists. Vermont already tried the universal health care thing and had to scrap it after just looking at the cost and Vermont is a rich state with a small population and almost no illegals.

Why isn't the national news covering ANYTHING to do with what's going on in CA? With all the rallies Trump has on the agenda for the next few days, why isn't CA one of those stops? Is it because CA is a f'd up lost cause?

Go Cox!!!

Newsom didn't even bother to make a candidate statement for the voters' guide.

Hopefully, I'm wrong, but lets face it, we're fucked.

It truly does not make sense. :'( Can anyone explain why they think Newsom will be good for the state? Brown has been horrendous and even HE isn't in agreement with Newsom's agenda.

Yes, there's no more elaborate or sophisticated answer for it. California will NEVER vote for the GOP candidate for President and other than heroes like D. Nunes, will generally shun their representatives and senators as well. It gave us Diane Feinstein, Henry Waxman, Maxine Waters, Kamala Harris, and Barbara Boxer, among many others (not to mention the human excrement governing the state). California is DEAD. As for LA, bars on every window, illegals sitting on the curb waiting for pickup trucks to take them to their undocumented, untaxed laborer jobs, and leftists EVERYWHERE, most of whom don't even know what country their live in or who the VP is. Fox recently went there to ask randoms whether the Honduran caravan should be let in. Most said yes, unconditionally. That's not America. It's Canada. We DON'T want anything to do with that state ANYMORE.
