On California’s gubernatorial election

The letter tries to tell the voters “how” to vote — but it does not explain “why,” which happens to be typical for Democrats lately.

Mr. Bonilla does not offer any reasons, other than “with the current President the stakes are too high” — whatever this means.

Mr. Bonilla urges the voters to rally behind one Democrat – apparently so that our California “jungle” primary does not produce 2 Republicans to face each other in the November election.

This has been the Democratic Party strategy from the moment all their candidates behind both Republican candidates in polls.

 Mr. Bonilla simply puts this strategy on paper, as this will “keep Republicans out of governor’s office” – otherwise we will allegedly “risk a regression in policies affecting climate, education, healthcare, and civil rights.”

Really?

We had Democratic governors for the last 15 years, and what did we “achieve”?

Record high fraud.  Disappearing tens of billions in funds which were supposed to be used for eliminating homelessness, unemployment benefits, hospices, high speed rail, etc. Shoplifting is not a crime.

The stolen money dissipates in a peculiar pattern — and causes, in large part, the high cost of living here.

California spending per student is 13th in the nation, yet we consistently rank around 38th in student scores.

Chronic budget deficits do not curtail wasteful spending — they call for more taxes.

If you want this pattern to change – vote accordingly.
