DUELING POLITICIANS

By Bob Walsh

 

 

 

It isn't exactly Burr vs. Hamilton, but it isn't friendly either.  We denizens of the formerly great state of California will, for the next two months, be bombarded by direct mail, phone calls and political commercials.  The subject is Proposition 50, the CA redistrict plan, which will either save democracy or destroy democracy depending on what tribe you belong to.

The PRO 50 group are lying sacks of shit.  The ANTI 50 group are, thus far, being more-or-less honest and open.  Neither of these relative positions will likely effect whether or not the proposition is approved by the voters, some of who are actual citizens and allowed to legally vote.  It is in reality a WE HATE DONALD TRUMP statement.  It will appeal to those who hate Donald Trump.  It will not appeal to those who like Donald Trump.  That means it will likely pass (but not for sure).  It is still not clear if any of the court challenges against it on procedural issues will take hold.  

One thing for sure, the next 60 days we will be bombarded with bags and bags of bullshit.
