Latest polling has one candidate kicking all others' butts in the California Governor race...

1. Steyer seems like a dream Democratic governor, I want Swalwell and Porter to stay in Congress.

2. if we have 2 billionaire governors, dems will have to lay off billionaire bashing?

3. It's possible to be successful and financially smart to bet on the people.

11. Not if we tax them the same as all the others.

If we put our money where our mouth is, and treat ours the same as theirs, wtf are they gonna counter with?

12. The money itself is irrelevant.

How it was earned and what is with it because of having money is the difference between tolerating the rich and eating them. If you're a billionaire going into public service to enrich the lives of your constituents in various ways? Great. If you're a billionaire and you run for office only to pad your pockets and pass legislation that benefits friends and family? Get out the cauldron and start heating some water-that billionaire is about to become soup.

4. Dream for who? Steyer wants to do away with PG&E, which kind of terrifies me...

Not that PG&E is a God send by any means, but the horror stories out of Texas give me pause about cracking wide open the California electricity market.

6. I don't know enough about that specific issue to comment.

I can only say, I've liked his answers to questions he's answered by various media outlets.

8. He is advertising here not just hard, but excessively. That also worries me...

My gut instinct is to be wary of anyone who wants anything that much.

9. Porter has been gone from Congress for over 3 years.

5. why are those fucking republicans even in the mix?

This is California and the GOP is Trump's GOP. How are they even competitive?

[PeaceWave]

7. Because only 2 viable Republicans are running vs 5 viable Democrats...

It's actually a smart strategy on their part.

[VMA131Marine]

10. This is where ranked choice voting would be really useful

California may end up with two Republicans on the ballot for Governor (neither of whom could win a majority against a Democrat) and no Democrats.

14. What do you make of the poll's results?

15. No one is paying attention to the race
