Members Pete1111 Posted 16 hours ago Members Posted 16 hours ago Why are these old farts running for California governor? No offense to you old farts out there, but there are already too many of them in government. Villaraigosa will be 74 at the start of the term. Becerra and Steyer will soon be 70. Also I prefer not having a billionaire governor. Why does Steyer want to govern California? I trust Katie Porter but the media has f*cked her over. The last thing we need right now is a GOP executive running the state. I hope the Dems muddle through. Quote

Members unicorn Posted 1 hour ago Members Posted 1 hour ago Well, these are the latest results, according to AI: As of early May 2026, the California governor's race is highly competitive and fractured, with Republican Steve Hilton [15%] and Democrat Xavier Becerra [18%] tied for the lead in recent California Democratic Party polling. The race is wide open following term limits for Gov. Gavin Newsom, with a large, divided field of candidates and roughly 26% of voters still undecided. Key Candidates and Poll Standings (Approximate)Steve Hilton (R): 16% – 18%, Xavier Becerra (D): 10% – 18%, Tom Steyer (D): 12% – 15%, Chad Bianco (R): 10% – 14%, Katie Porter (D): 8% – 10%, Matt Mahan (D): 4% – 5%. If I were to vote for my favorite, it'd be Matt Mahan, but California has a system in which the top two vote-getters face off, and it would be a disaster if it were a Bianco-Hilton face-off. Trump endorses Hilton and, Bianco is a complete nut-job. Out of fear of having a GOP vs GOP final election (although a Democrat could win as a write-in), I'll vote for Becerra. Steyer comes off as a complete sleazebag, Porter is abrasive, arrogant, and condescending. According to AI: Key criticisms from her detractors include: Poor Temperament: Critics argue she has an "unhappy" and combative demeanor, highlighting incidents where she shouted at staffer or acted rudely in interviews. Abusive Management Style: She has faced accusations of being an "abusive" and "racist" boss, specifically in reports about her treatment of staff, according to a POLITICO article. "Arrogant" and "Condescending": Opponents argue that her "whiteboard" style is condescending and that she acts with a sense of moral or intellectual superiority, according to a National Review article and the Medium article. Self-Destructive/Weak Candidate: Some critics, such as former state controller Betty Yee, have labeled her a "weak, self-destructive candidate unfit to lead California," particularly when facing pressure or difficult questioning. Political Missteps: Critics have described her as overambitious, pointing to her decision to run for the Senate instead of staying in the House as a move that let down her party Quote
