In the recent California primary for the US Senate, incumbent senator Dianne Feinstein got 44% of the vote. State legislator Kevin De Leon got just under 12% of the vote but came in second. Both Feinstein and De Leon are Democrats in the heavily Democrat state. Feinstein, of course, is the long time incumbent. So what was the reaction of the California Democrat Party? Yesterday, it endorsed De Leon for the seat. The vote wasn't close. Feinstein got the vote of only 7% of those attending the meeting of the state central committee.
Think about that for a moment. Feinstein beat De Leon in the primary by getting about four times as many votes as De Leon. In political races, that is more than a landslide. It's a total rout. The Democrats, however, are going to support the far left De Leon in November with millions of dollars and thousands of volunteers of support. Feinstein will still win barring some sort of earth-shaking event. That means that California Democrats are so intent on moving to the far left that they are prepared to abandoned their long time senator Feinstein. It also means that the Democrats are abandoning the bulk of their own voters. The people spoke in the primary, and they chose Feinstein. The far left Democrats, however, don't care about the voters. They don't care about niceties like the will of the people. This says more about who the Democrats in California are than almost anything else.
No doubt Feinstein will win in November. Maybe by December we will hear that the California Democrats think that the Russians hacked the California election to deprive De Leon of his rightful victory. You see, the left never "loses"; they just have elections stolen from them.
UPDATE: I didn't want to let a discussion of Feinstein/De Leon go by without noting that De Leon is a strong supporter of the new Democrat mantra to "abolish ICE". Feinstein has yet to climb aboard that train.
