Larry Elder | The Truth.

everyone meet kevin paffrath here a

member of the wall street journal

editorial board just ran

a very powerful piece suggesting that a

republican

could potentially be the next governor

of california but they got something

very wrong it's very dark and it's

something that's very gloomy that

everybody should be aware of whether you

are in california

or not the wall street journal article

refers to

anger in california people are upset why

do we have the fifth largest economy in

the world but the most homelessness

and we're the bottom 20 of schools there

are a lot of problems in california

and they're right but they got something

dangerously wrong

in their article this is the article

here could a conservative replace

gavin newsom in the wall street journal

and right here they got something

correct

they mention that larry elder might be

the top polling republican

but he is behind democrat kevin paffrath

that's me i'm a 29 year old youtube

personality they say

and i consider myself a jfk style

democrat who can bring both sides

together

but more on that later what's more

important is what the wall street

journal

got wrong and that's right here if we

search for the phrase

veto the wall street journal suggests

that larry elder or potentially another

republican

would be open to using the veto pen

aggressively that is if you get a

republican governor in

maybe they can finally stop some of the

nonsense that happens

in the legislature some of the laws that

just don't have common sense

hey throw a republican in they'll be

able to stop it right

well this is where a little bit of

context is useful

so here they suggest that the

legislature hasn't overwritten a veto

since jerry brown's first stint as

governor

in 79 and mentioned that arnold

schwarzenegger even though he was a

semi-republican

vetoed hundreds of bills and not a

single one of them was overwritten

so in other words the wall street

journal is making the argument that hey

let's throw a republican governor into

california politics

and let's let them potentially just veto

anything that they want against the

democrats

but here's something the wall street

journal in my opinion

totally missed and somewhat maliciously

missed

because quite frankly they should have

done this research here's the thing

prior to today california democrats

were a different makeup of power

against republicans take a look at this

the years

that arnold schwarzenegger was in office

were 2003-2010

and what i have here in red are state

assembly and senate elections

in 2002 democrats had 60

control in the assembly 62.5 control

in the senate and you could see how this

evolved the

senate stayed stable at 62.5

power with democrats throughout arnold

schwarzenegger's governorship

and the assembly actually became a

little bit more left-leaning

with 64 power in 2008 but there's

something really crucial to know

before you keep going on in order to

actually

override the governor's veto you'll

really need a

67 party super majority

because it's unlikely a republican would

join in vetoing a republican

veto or overriding a republican veto so

the assembly and senate would need

67 of their members to override

a veto but as you can see here at no

point did democrats actually

have the super majority specifically

during arnold schwarzenegger's term

but something changed in the last few

years in california and this is

very critical for folks to know look at

what happened

in 2018 in 2018

we had 75

dem control in the assembly and we still

do today

in 2018 we also got 72.5

democratic control in the senate this

folks right here

is known as a super majority and this is

the big

danger with california politics if

california elects a republican to the

governorship

democrats will have zero incentive to

work with that republican

because guess what we have a 2022

election coming up

and let's be real why would a super

majority of democrats that could

overturn

any veto from a republican governor

hand any win to a republican governor

right before an election cycle

it's not going to happen a republican

getting in as governor

would be a lame duck governorship it

doesn't make sense

now some folks say but wait a minute

donald trump got in he was able to make

changes in the presidency whether you

like him or not

right but for the first two years of his

administration he had a republican

house and a republican senate a

republican governor getting in in

california

would have neither of those and they'd

be against a supermajority from the

other side

now don't get me wrong i don't fault the

republicans for running against gavin

newsom

i believe that gavin newsom is not the

leader that california needs

i believe california needs a centrist

jfk

style democrat to lead california and

fix the massive problems that we have

we need to restore california's

exceptionalism and that's why i implore

you

to check out my plan at meetkevin.com go

to meetkevin.com

donate support the campaign if you like

my plans

they're centrist they're moderate and

they can bring democrats and republicans

together to provide common sense

solutions

and also because i'm a democrat even

though i'm a jfk style democrat

because i'm a centrist democrat

democrats won't be shy

to hand a win to a fellow democrat in

congress

which gives me the best ability to work

with the california legislature

and make sure that we can right the ship

we're on

because right now we're on a sinking

ship this is why

folks electing a republican in

california is a

big mistake at least in this recall

election and so with that said go to

meetkevin.com donate

support the campaign and vote yes on

recall

and yes on kevin paffrath for governor

that's path wrath thank you

you
