Watched the CA Senate debate last night.

Steve Garvey whiffed multiple times.

Made condescending comments about Latinos.

Fuck him.

I recall his Dodgers playing days...this baseball star had the reputation of being very far from humility. He was also a vocal Reagan fanboy.

@Harrybear @GottaLaff @bkahn Lots of extramarital affairs. Domestic violence. Lots of kids that he refuses to speak to. Financial issues. The GOP needed a "name" or "celebrity" to run against the Democrats. Just like they did in Georgia with Herschel Walker and Pennsylvania with Dr. Oz. And here in NM with a TV weatherman. They all lost. He will lose too.

@IveyJanette @GottaLaff @bkahn
Those other character flaws you mention didn't get much press ink here on the East Coast in such pre-internet days, Ivey. (at least not from the sportswriters...those were the days before widespread expose reporting in the MSM)

@Harrybear @GottaLaff @bkahn It was big news in Los Angeles. And in San Diego after Garvey went to the Padres. His extramarital affairs made him a punchline for Johnny Carson and David Letterman.

@IveyJanette @GottaLaff @bkahn
I was usually way too tired after lengthy workdays back then to watch Carson or Letterman. 😒

@Harrybear @GottaLaff @bkahn I worked nights,and got home just in time for the monologues. Johnny,Arsenio and Dave ripped Garvey to shreds,when they weren't riffing on Jimmy Swaggart.

@IveyJanette My water broke during Carson's monologue. I had twins 12 hours later. @Harrybear @bkahn

@IveyJanette How did Katie Porter do?

@GottaLaff @IveyJanette

As much as I like Adam Schiff, I really want to see Katie Porter in the Senate to kick ass.

GottaLaff ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Wileymiller Same. I voted for her. @IveyJanette

I'm another Schiff liker (from a different state), but he's been cozying up to the AI bros lately, and I don't like seeing that.

(Yeah, if Silicon Valley VC is part of your state's economy you can't just ignore them, but the AI stuff is so scammy right now.)

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@jztusk @Wileymiller @IveyJanette Per their voting records( I just did a search), he's not as progressive as Porter. Was a Blue Dog some time ago. I like him, but I prefer Porter.

IveyJanette OP ,
@IveyJanette@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff @jztusk @Wileymiller I prefer Porter also. Lee is too "radical".

GottaLaff ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@IveyJanette I like Lee a lot, but her numbers aren't there. It's always really been a 2 person race (among Dems). @jztusk @Wileymiller

@Wileymiller @GottaLaff @IveyJanette
Unusual and unfortunate to have two great candidates. I haven’t been following the campaign but Schiff still has my utmost respect for his performance during trump’s impeachment. Few politicians are that articulate.

GottaLaff ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Dotards @Wileymiller @IveyJanette Agree, he was great. But a candidate must have more than one accomplishment to fall back on. I look at his whole record.

IveyJanette OP ,
@IveyJanette@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Agreed. But is he the one who will keep California blue?

GottaLaff ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@IveyJanette I voted for Porter.

IveyJanette OP ,
@IveyJanette@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff She was very aggressive. Which is what we need.

GottaLaff ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@IveyJanette Oh good! I agree.
