Susan Shelley: Proposition 1 is an expensive scam that must be rejected on March 5
More on behests and Gavin Newsom maxing out the grift.

Maybe, but not in the way you think….
Low turnout primary. Schiff has tons of money. He’s really arrogant, though. I don’t know who is running the PAC attack ad against Garvey, but they have the messaging wrong. Yes, Garvey votes for Trump twice. But his “scare quotes” are: “We were safer under Trump,” (true), and that he wants to build the wall, which is getting more and more popular, even in California.
Prof. Fryer had his career derailed / was suspended from his lab by…. Claudine Gay.

Not only police shootings, but his work on closing the racial achievement gap in Harlem and Houston challenged the idea that it is socio-economic conditions that prevent kids from learning / achievement. It also required hiring teachers with the right mindset….
He’s a pure academic (and a Democrat). But he believes in the data and making sure our policies address actual problems, and create real solutions. That’s what makes him dangerous to people like Prof. Gay.
Doesn’t matter. People will still vote Democrat once the fear mongering kicks in. The economy was worse in 2022, and the red wave fizzled.
This is an absolutely insane story, which I hope you'll all read. The chaos in our streets is not an accident. It's been purchased — by you. https://t.co/XR1EIe5rIF

Seattle just agreed to pay $10 million to 50 rioters injured by police in 2020.
Denver is paying $4.7 million to 300 BLM rioters arrested in 2020.
Philadelphia is paying them $9 million.
New York City is shelling out $13 million.
In total, $90+ million in taxpayer dollars…

Cities are Democrat money laundering machines. Burn down your city, sue the city, get settlement, donate to radical progressive, protest and burn things with impunity, sue city, politicians pay you, and repeat.
Gavin Newsom mastered this with a series of NGOs and non-profits run by his donors. Pour billions into these organizations to address homelessness, but not really solve the problem, donors get money, donate to him, and repeat.

Complete lack of self-awareness.

DeSantis out. Hired NeverTrumper consultants who haven’t won anything. Had extremely online press folks on Twitter with no sense of humor. Lots of mistakes in hiring and execution. I still think he’s a great governor and hopefully has a bright future. Did great in debates, and with hostile journalists. But man was his messaging bad, and he got caught flat footed a lot.
Doing some quick math, it looks like RFK Jr. erodes Trump’s support by about 9%, and Biden’s by about 3%. I’m assuming that West and Stein support comes from Biden’s side.

Read this. I like DeSantis, but the political consultants and his campaign staff are terrible at messaging and execution. Ryan Girdusky is a strong personality, but I think he’s generally right about this.
Another perspective.
Ron DeSantis's presidential bid is a dead campaign walking after Trump throttled him in must-win Iowa
A year ago, DeSantis was the best hope for Republicans hoping to turn the page from Trump

Trump needs to be polling at +5% in the swing states to win in the general election.
The margin needs to be so high that the monkey games they will play in Philadelphia, and other cities, won't be able to overcome the lead.
I have not seen any evidence that anything has…

Vivek Ramaswamy is a rabbit for the mainstream Right.
In distance running, a rabbit goes out hard, setting a very high pace for the other runners. He has no chance of winning, but effectively changes the pace of the race by forcing everyone else to keep up.
That’s Vivek. He… pic.twitter.com/2OVfwwhvra

I agree with this Vivek take. He’s very good at messaging, and engaging. Also, he’s willing to change his mind and admit when he is wrong.

SCOOPLET + 🧵Danielle Allen, a highly respected Harvard poli sci prof, interviewed for the presidency in 2022.
She didn't get past an early round.
Worth asking why Gay got the job while Allen didn't come close.
I'm not saying I know. But it sure wasn't scholarship…
