In reply to the discussion: Feinstein attacks (long time California senator). [View all]still_one
(98,883 posts)comes from Northern California, WHERE I COME FROM, she shouldn't be elected because we need someone from Southern California, that is bullshit
With that reasoning, perhaps NORTHERN CALIFORNIA should stop sending water down to Southern California through the Peripherial Canal. That is the most asinine reasoning I have heard why one should not vote for a candidate.
Feinstein and De Leon are eye to eye on almost EVERY ISSUE. In fact, both were enthusiastic supporters of Hillary:
"The question to California Senate President Pro Tem Kevin DeLeón, one of the most powerful Democrats in the state, was simple: Hillary or Bernie?
Before answering, DeLeon smiled, turned to an aide and asked for the green light to announce his pick. Whats today, Wednesday? Green light.
Im with Hillary Rodham Clinton. All the way, the Los Angeles Democrat said of his choice between Clinton and Democratic primary opponent Bernie Sanders. I think shes the best candidate. I think she has experience. Shes tough. Shes battle- tested and shes prepared, and I have every confidence she can lead this country.

You want to argue that you think she is too old, fine, but don't spew the bullshit argument that she only represents Northern California, that is a falsehood.
However, we can talk about some of the politicians that Southern California has given our state.
George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson, Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, etc.
Jerry Brown's history is from Northern California, and he not only has represented our ENTIRE STATE WELL, but he undid a lot of the damage done by the Govenors elected from SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
