Thanks to Scott Lay and Around the Capitol we know this is the field in CA-25. Maybe some of the also-rans drop off by the time filing is certificed. Let’s look at the “Top” Candidates: (Note: CA-XX = California’s XX Congressional District)
Christy Smith – she is an empty shirt pretty faced type of candidate that Dem Leadership love. (Similar to Kevin McCarthy who tends to prefer candidates he can control, the Democrats have institutionalized that system) She has skipped some floor votes to create the false impression that she is a moderate.
Don’t kid yourself, she is Katie Hill minus the sex addiction.
Cenk Uygur – the Fat Brown Buffalo is a blowhard TV Jock who sees himself as a modern day cross between Kemal Mostafa and Rashida Tlaib/Ilham Omar. Cenk is a Jewish Holocaust denier and an Armenian Genocide denier. Watching him melt down on election night in 2016 on his “Young Turks” program was one of my all time greatest memories.
Speaking of Holocaust deniers – it was rumored at one point that Mike Cernovich who made a name for himself riding on Trump’s coattails (as did a lot of marginal characters) was going to jump in to the race. Some people call him the lisping gorilla. Thankfully, we don’t have to endure him extolling the virtues of the pills he was selling or explaining his love of Tulsi Gabbard.
But the specter of the Fat Brown Buffalo and the Lisping Gorilla in the same congressional race would have been hall of fame level grifter-ism.
Then we have former Congressman Steve Knight. People on the ground have told me that he appears to believe in his heart that he is entitled to re-election. He appears to be acting as such. Most of us from outside the district are asking ourselves why is he running? He got hammered (like a 10 point loss) by a bong-hitting sex addict in 2018. It is rumored that none other than Kevin McCarthy brought Knight back in to the fray.
Mike Garcia is the candidate of the has-beens. He has a stable of former legislators and congressmembers supporting him. Your intrepid blogger will be researching Mike Garcia as some things are not adding up with regards to him. On the surface he looks like a good candidate but reports we are getting from the ground indicate political brushfires all over the district with regard to Garcia.
This brings me to George Papadopoulos. Everyone knows him as the Trump dude that got framed by Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissman. Given the nearly hysterical response to his entry in to CA-25, it appears he is the 500 pound gorilla in the room. It is the opinion of this blogger that the IG Report’s contents once vetted and the Durham Investigation will ultimately vindicate and exonerate him. That said, the political reality is that the name ID and the constant focus will help Papadopoulos to the expense of every one else running.
This includes the Christy democrat poster child leadership puppet. Ms. Smith (if you’re nasty) will have all the money she needs. So will George. It’s party time.
Steve Knights presence is kind of irritating. That douche has no business returning to Congress. It’s over for that tube-headed fool. McCarthy sounds like he’s tone deaf if he wants him back.
Sorry to hear that Mike Garcia might be damaged goods.
I’m glad Thernovich won’t run, though I could see him grift his way into a race in the OC where he actually lives.
Cenk is a hot-headed Buffalo turd. No doubt about it. I want to se that thug go down hard.
Since I live 2 miles away from the 25th CD I cannot vote there, however I’ve
hundreds of friends, acquaintances, my brother and nephew who do live in
the CD. SO I’m recommending, and encouraging them to support and vote
for THE most qualified with extensive foreign and domestic policy experience,
strong supporter of President Trump, intelligent, young, attractive, and well spoken,
my friend George Papadopoulos.
I live in Palmdale in CA25 and I’ve met David Rudnick a couple times. He’s a great guy running on his own ideas but still Democrat-ish. Me and my family are voting for him.
