Recall Effort on CA Gov. Newsom Underway; Who Should Replace Him?
The recall effort to bring down Gov. Newsom here in California is less than two weeks old and already has over a quarter of a million signatures. Citizens need to sign the petitions for the recall and succeed in having 1 million-plus signatures. This means we must go for 2.5 million, as many signatures will be discredited. Our deadline is February 2020.
Of course, should the movement be successful, then we need to figure out who would be a decent replacement?
Someone mentioned this man over at Facebook: “we’d better come up with ideas as to whom we are going to replace Newsom with. I don’t know if he would do it, but Sacramento’s retired Sheriff John McGinness would be an awesome start. He’s honest and been through the political machine.”
That poster had me at “honest.”
Do others here have any thoughts on this?

For pity’s sake!! This thread is not supposed to be about Trump!!!! Why Gary is personally offended by the man who has done literally nothing in his governance that adversely affects Gary shows a disturbing obsession not worthy of engagement (I know, I know, I started responding — mea culpa).
Gary, you have a problem. If you support actions which would put a socialist in charge of the country, we’re going to have a bigger problem with you! It’s our freedom on the line, and you’re worried about Trump’s crowd-size exaggeration?? Seriously??
I think some of those who voted for him have seen the light.
Also in consideration of the fact that it was proven in court, Jan 2017, that the DNC flips votes however it wishes to, in order to have the election results it desires, there is no real way to know if 7,700,000 citizens voted for Mr Gavin Gruesom or not.
He is basically an employee of PG & E. The massive amounts of money that PG & E gave him for his gubernatorial campaign show us that.
He could stop P G & E from behaving like a spoiled child and put in an injunction against them shutting the power down. Lord only knows if the power outages only affected newly arrived immigrants, he would do just that.
It is coming out that some sort of legal hoop di do that went through to make bankruptcy conditions more favorable for PG & E contained a contingency that these favorable conditions will be allowed only if PG & E avoids causing any more fires.
Of course, with the power outages affecting people so tremendously, people who have little expertise in running generators are causing fires these days. On one recent weekend, three separate fires caused by the generator crowd torched homes in the Sierras. Luckily it was not windy when the fires happened, so the fires did not spread from the homes of the generator operators.
