Due to recent allegations, Swalwell could end up dropping out (or maybe not, we'll see). 

The other two Democrats right behind Swalwell are also billboards for why Californians should vote Republican.

Here's the latest on Katie Porter (or on her ex husband as it were): 

Now that Swalwell got himself fragged by his own Democrats, this will be the next Governor of California. pic.twitter.com/B0ljTHq66I

You might also remember Porter's "YOU'RE IN MY SHOT" video where she was scolding a staffer. 

LOL! Now this clown thinks she has a chance at Governor!

Yeesh!

California.

Katie dumped a pot of scalding hot mashed potatoes on her then husband’s head.

She was caught verbally abusing staff on video.

That your Democrat choices are a would-be predator and this nutter … maybe it’s time to vote for another party.

Just saying. https://t.co/xRgZRAVwFd

Then there's this guy: 

Steyer needs to learn the definition of "monopoly":

Four corporations control 90% of California's refining capacity. That's not a market — that's a monopoly.

I'll attack their grip on gas pricing and force an investigation into why Californians pay more than anyone else in the country.

Nice Community Note he's got there. And California's insane regulations have also chased off a lot of energy producers. 

But if California wants a dancer who can continue Newsom's overregulation, he'll be there for them: 

Nearly six years after dancing on stage with Juvenile to Back That Azz Up immediately before dropping out of the presidential primary, Tom Steyer returns to electoral politics for his second act:

Add all this up and California voters should definitely go Republican.

Editor’s Note: The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject its globalist agenda and domestic lunacy (looking at you, Swalwell, Porter and Steyer).
