Anybody know how to thin out a 6 person race so we can beat Rohrabacher?

It is frustrating, election after election, to see sacrificial lambs step up and get slaughtered. This year there are at minimum 6 viable candidates, each believing they have the best shot to take him out.

The CA Dems endorsed one who is not an obvious choice and now lots of negativity is around the race.

Is there a method to deal with this situation?

I suggest Harley Rouda, who is well organized, well spoken, and has raised a good amount of money. Talk to friends, sign up to door-knock and distribute literature. Convince everyone you can, even disaffected Republicans, to get behind this single candidate. Don’t split the vote!

Sign up to volunteer:

Also, read up on Kierstead; he’s a really sketchy seeming guy.

He may well knock himself and the doctor out of the primary.

I wouldn't be surprised if Russia has been helping re-elect him for decades.
