Elder pledges to replace Feinstein with Republican if he wins California recall election

[hookaleft]

California gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder (R) on Friday pledged to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) with a Republican if he wins the Golden State's recall election.

“They're afraid I'm going to replace her with a Republican, which I most certainly would do and that would be an earthquake in Washington, D.C.,” Elder said on the "Mark Levin Show."

The conservative radio host claims Feinstein has not been seen in “weeks” and is in “an even worst mental condition than Joe Biden.”


Feinstein, 88, said earlier this year she does not plan to step down from her seat and wants to finish her current term, which ends in 2025.

1. Can the Democratic legislature clip his wings the way that R legislatures have with Dem governors?

2. not to worry.........

Newsome will not be recalled.

3. That wasn't what I was asking.

The Kentucky legislature removed the power to appoint a replacement for Moscow Mitch from the Dem governor. In the hypothetical event that Elder becomes governor of California, could their legislature do the same thing?

For that matter, couldn't they just do a recall of Elder shortly after he takes office? Hypothetically.

10. I think they have to wait 6 months

to recall but the legislature should pass that law and send it to Newsome who can sign it if it looks like he will lose.

12. Not right now... for example if Elizabeth Warren needs to retire...a Republican would choose

her successor...same is true of Bernie Sanders, Sherrod Brown, both Maryland Senators...and on and on. We really need a 50 state strategy to win more Congressional seats, more Governorships, and more state legislators.

4. IF she was replaced with a Republican that person would still have to eventually be

voted on by the people here in California.

13. Still McConnell would be in charge for quite a while depending on the circumstances.

5. Big talk. After Cal rejects the recall, Elder will go back to being a nobody.

6. Another fucking moron.

Finding a non-moronic GQP member is like finding a needle in a haystack. This one makes some of the others look like rocket scientists in comparison.

7. Not seen in weeks? Where the hell is she?

8. Who "hasn't seen her in weeks"? Mr Elder?

🙄
Stupid fuck.

9. :) Well, this should help her approval among CA's liberals.

Nothing like the horrifying specter of Elder's choice of swamp creatures being foisted on the state to remind people of what they have to lose.

11. predictable strategy......

If an R becomes gov, expect national media and political focus on difi. Nonstop, brutal, medically driven, character assassination to force her to resign.

Losing any senator will stop dem progress completely. No more appointments. No more legislation. Non-stop hearings.

You will see billions spent to drive her out.

Stomp the recall. Ignore the polls. Act like we are 2 points down (because we might be).
