CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

An article floating around recently noted the pub trivia that Hilton would be the 3rd foreign born governor. John G. Downey (gov 1860-2) was born in Ireland.

I understand at the debate both Republicans said they would extradite California doctors to states that criminalize the mailing of abortion pills. Even a (slim) majority of CA Republicans favor legal abortion. I mean, that's one issue among many, but as long as Becerra maintains the lead, the general election will be a pretty lopsided D victory.

Well I hope he at least knows states are run by governors, not mayors.
My comment though, is about the guy running on the maga ticket. It’s kinda weird, to me at least, a guy who’s barely American would get the endorsement of the America first crowd but then, nothing they do really makes any sense to me.

Yeah we know -Here I'll correct it - a Sanctuary city - feel better. 'Merica - don't want none of them foreigners in office here!
But they are welcome and endorsed by the Republicans
Are you referring to Steve Hilton who became a citizen in 2021 - he is an American -
I wonder why in real life the MAGA movement embraces and endorses LEGAL immigrants all the while the media tell you something different over and over and over.

Even if he won, he wouldn't be able to do much, CA has too many unions and special interest groups to make any real change. Its too bad, its my home state and I miss it, but its not the state it used to be.

Hilton and Becerra lead in new California governor poll. Steyer trails but isn’t out
Two weeks from now we’ll probably know which of the 61 candidates for governor have finished 1-2 in the primary election and will face each other in November for the dubious honor of governing a state that may be ungovernable.
The weasel adverb “probably” is warranted because three would-be governors are in a close race, and California is notorious for taking a long time to produce a final election count.
The latest Democratic Party poll, released Tuesday, has Republican Steve Hilton, a British-born former Fox News commentator, and Democrat Xavier Becerra, a former attorney general, virtually tied at 22% and 21% respectively. Billionaire Tom Steyer is still alive at 15%, but all other once-viable candidates are trailing in single digits.

Fortunately the danger has eased. 'Sheriff Bianco' may look good on paper, but now that he's running ads, Californians have had a good look at him and don't like what they see. (I mean, ok he's in 4th place, but in a race where the top two advance, fourth place isn't very valuable.)

Not that I’m a big fan of Steyer buying his way onto the ballot but if he can help lock out the two MAGA candidates, this all would be a great use of his money.

Little more than half the vote in
Hilton staying in first would be mildly surprising, but we seem to be safe from a two Republican field.
