Nazi leads GOP field for CA Senate, calls Trump his inspiration, vows to "remove Jews from power"

[sandensea]

A relatively unknown U.S. Senate candidate in California who was booted from the state's Republican Party Convention for a campaign promise to "remove Jewish leaders" from power is getting new attention since seen surging in one political poll.

Patrick Little, an unabashed admirer of Adolf Hitler who attended the Neo-Nazi March in Charlottesville last year, is now the Republican frontrunner in the California Senate Race, according to a new SUSA poll of likely voters.

Little garnered 18% (behind Dianne Feinstein’s 39%), establishing him as the leader among GOP hopefuls running against Feinstein. The poll, released on April 24th (SUSA receives an “A" rating from Nate Silver's 538 blog) also describes Little as Feinstein’s "likely Republican opponent” this November.

Little, who was denied permission to attend the state GOP convention, has praised Adolf Hitler and calls himself a "counter-Semite," has been endorsed by former KKK leader David Duke, and claims to draw inspiration from President Donald Trump.

"He showed me that people were willing to respond to dog whistles about whites having group interests, so I decided to state these things explicitly," Little said.

1. Yeah, this is gonna play well...

nice thing is, we can save any resources we might have used in this race...

2. Absolutely.

Dianne's got this (talk about a super senior!).

3. Maybe if this guy was put into a concentration camp, he might change his mind, eh?

Californians will make sure that this piece of crap doesn't go far. To go even further, I'd look at this guy's finances too, as to where his money is coming from...what you might find wouldn't surprise us, it might disgust us, but hey, we're used to it...the hot air that is...

4. He's not wrong

Trump HAS shown that some white voters will respond to "dog whistle" talk about how they're losing their power in this country.

5. This nonsense keeps raising its head.

Little was rejected by the Republican Party and if he stays in the race may not run as a Republican. The poll cited is an outlier; if it receives an A rating from Nate Silver, then Nate Silver is an idiot. Little is an idiot who is nowhere in any of the major, significant polls.

Feinstein is in undisputed 1st place and deLeon is holding such a lead for second that third doesn't even matter. For what little it does matter, James Bradley has enough of a lead in third place that fourth doesn't even exist.

Patrick Little is fodder for alarmists and for generating click bait. He is otherwise nothing.

6. The sate primary ballots have already been printed and he's on it:

PATRICK LITTLE
Party Preference: Republican
Civil Rights Advocate


Civil Rights Advocate?

7. I never said he was not on the ballot.

He is there, along with 31 other candidates. All one has to do is cough up a $3200 filing fee to get put there.
And notice that it says "Party preference." It does not say, "Party affiliation."

According to the state's Voter Information Pamphlet, not one of the candidates is endorsed by either the Republican Party or the Democratic Party, including Dianne Feinstein and Kevin deLeon.
