Today, San Dieguito High School Board Member Maureen “Mo” Muir announced that she will be seeking to represent California’s 76thAssembly District.So I guess that Tom Arnold tweet about Jerome Stocks was fake news. The Muirs and Stocks have been political allies, and surely wouldn't want to split their vote and get knocked out of the open primary.

TK Arnold living up to his reputation as the hack that he has always been.
ReplyDeleteOk, now we have Mo and Tasha and Elizabeth running against each other. Must be the year of the women and thats a good thing.
The coming debate, whenever it happens, just got even more interesting and less testosterone filled without that drunken bully piece of work J$ in the mix. Whew.
TK, you had us going for day with your hack reporting. Thank the stars that you were wrong.
Have you revealed yourself to be a sexist? Do you suffer from bigoted intolerance?
DeleteEU, nope.
ReplyDeleteThey are definitely both in. Stocks has been on Twitter since the TKArnold tweet, and there’s been no denial.
Stocks was probably taking a few days to build a website, social media, bank account, and call potential donors and endorsers.
Mo saw the tweet and probably decided to jump out front, which is a terrible thing to do to a “friend.” Stocks clearly sees Trump as vindication of loud-mouth narcissism dictator politics. Mo just might be the first target of his new Trump-style campaign.
Even if not, they’ll be splitting their little local clique of shared politicos and donors. Both of them in erodes either’s chances of winning.
Do you reveal yourself to be sexist bigot? Was Lisa Shaffer s loud mouth narcisist? Is Tasha a me first loud mouth narcissist? Employees getting bonuses, manufacturing companies investing Billions in America, ISIS on the run, unemployment down, black employment at record high levels, US economy growing, rule of law being applied equally to all, Could you be suffering from DJT syndrome? Delusional and irrational thinking triggered by fake news resulting in snow-flake-itis?
DeleteWeirdo.
Delete11:15, Answers:
Delete1.) No
2.) No
3.) No
4.) No
5.) No
I would have answered "Yes" to #3.
Delete9:37,
DeleteThat was the hardest question on the test.
Funny, I found it the easiest!
DeleteMuirs/Stocks/Gaspars have the same supporters. Mo jumped in quickly, might be too late for Stocks. Bets on Gaspar running against Rocky for Congress?
ReplyDeleteNo, Supervisor is a super cushy gig.
DeleteNobody ever gives it up until they’re forced out.
9:01 could be Stocks himself posting, except he's not nearly that coherent. But it is his front man troll - perhaps Mike (aka "Mikey") Andreen of "Deception for Hire" fame.
ReplyDeleteTroll, troll, troll away. Stocks dug his grave years ago and everything that deep sided him when he was run out of office will come back to haunt him now.
Make that "deep sixed."
DeleteAs they say: bring it on.
9:20,
DeleteYou crack me up.
“loud-mouth, narcissism, dictator”
Are these the words a supporter would use?
Something is very off about the way in which you express yourself.
DeleteI don't believe Jerome is actually running! He doesn't stand a chance. But that's what I said about Trump. I understand the Mo and Tasha are good campaigners and should make for an interesting race. Mo being more moderate and Tasha being more liberal.
ReplyDeleteMo is not a moderate, but a very conservative Republican. My guess is the Muir's spoke with Jerome about his chances, and Mo jumped in to take his place. Cannot find anything anywhere about Stocks running at this time.
ReplyDeleteWith several Democrats and several Republicans in the primary field, it's a virtual guarantee that the general election will be a Dem vs. a Rep. That's how the voter registration numbers break, including independents in the mix.
ReplyDeletePlace your bets. Warren or TBH vs. which Rep?
Similarly, in the CA 49 race — a Dem vs. a Rep in the general election in November. Which Dem vs. which Rep?
The Colonel vs. Rocky. Mark my words.
ReplyDeleteThe current climate assures the Colonel has the advantage and rightfully so.
The Dems. however can screw up a sure thing. Playing dirty is an anathema to them.
Not so for the repugnicans, to their everlasting shame. Party over nation will have its day. Traitors will be their name as history is written.
The grand experiment that has been a beacon of hope for the world will have a comeback, in spite of the daily disgracer in chiefs onslaught of denigrating any sense of common decency and humaneness.
Tasha vs Elizabeth vs Mo or J$. Ms. Warren has the heart to be in it for the good she can do for her constituents. In that respect she is alone. Personal ambitions drive everyone of the others.
For whatever it is worth to anyone that still cares.
Applegate and Chavez are both retired Marine Corps colonels.
ReplyDeleteFor the Assembly seat, it will be one Dem vs. one Rep in November. 6:36 has two Dems vs. each other and one Rep.
Under Calif open primary rules, it can be 2 Dems or 2 Reps.
DeleteBut it won't be cause that's not the way the voter registrations split, nor is it the way the vote total split in 2016.
DeleteTotally depends how many candidates get in on each side and how evenly balanced their support is.
DeleteIt can happen even in a 50/50 registration district.
Jerome is definitely in the race I learned today. Hard to believe but m source was pretty close to the situation. This should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteHe'll lose, probably come in last.
Deleteif Stocks doesn’t announce formally by Wednesday, he probably won’t at all. And his decision will likely be the result of a hardball backroom kneecapping by someone he thought was a political ally and friend.
ReplyDeleteMo found out his plans and jumped out front. Right now she’s probably working all the donors, campaign staff, and GOP leaders to convince them that Stocks can’t win, and that it’s best to consolidate resources behind her.
Some friend. She’s a piece of work.
You may be right about the sequence of events.
DeleteBut Mo would be right about their relative electabilities.
Agreed.
DeleteIf you think about it, Stocks must’ve called TK Arnold, right? If he called TKA, he must’ve been calling other supporters. Mark Muir would’ve been near the top of the list.
Mo probably took the inside info and used it to her advantage against her “friend.”
If true, she’s vicious.
Not surprising if she totally outsmarted him and made him look foolish. Couldn’t be very hard to do.
DeleteI don’t like her policies, but good for her.
And good for residents who would lose their breakfasts, lunches, and dinners over dealing with Jerome's smug mug.
DeleteMo is a relief compared to that corrupt creep.
Jerome doesn't have a chance against Mo. She has good relationships within the community and is a good campaigner. Jerome???
ReplyDeleteI’m shocked, shocked that MM was willing and able to outwit and outmaneuver JS.
ReplyDeleteNot!
DeleteDear fellow citizen,
ReplyDeleteYou may have seen various media reports about two recently appointed (not elected) Encinitas Traffic and Public Safety Commissioners, Darius Degher, a Leucadia musician and poet, and Christina Simokat, a New Encinitas resident and environmental studies professor at Cal State San Marcos, who have refused to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. In brief, Mr. Degher said he's protesting President Trump and his policies and the "anti-immigrant origins" of the Pledge. Ms. Simokat said she is not legally compelled to explain her actions... I've included an article on the January 8 commission meeting from the Del Mar Times / Encinitas Advocate below:
http://www.delmartimes.net/encinitas-advocate/news/sd-cm-enc-0112-pledge-20180109-htmlstory.html
The Pledge of Allegiance isn't a personal oath to the President or a national party. It's an oath to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands. There's nothing in the mission statement of the Traffic and Public Safety Commission that allows or implies that a member can exploit that body's proceedings to promote a personal political agenda. Commissioners are appointed by the city council. They are unpaid volunteers. So far I've seen no blow back from city council on the unwarranted behavior of these appointees. The Encinitas City Council meets tomorrow evening, Wednesday, January 17, at 6:00 PM. Oral comments on non-agenda items are heard immediately after the Pledge of Allegiance and roll call. The council agenda is available online at: http://www.ci.encinitas.ca.us/Government/Agendas-Webcasts If you wish to attend and address this matter, white speaker slips are taken by the city clerk starting 30 minutes in advance and up until the start of the meeting. My apologies in advance for the brief notice.

DeleteCA 49 voter registration in 2017:
ReplyDeleteRep 38%
Dem 31%
No Party 26%
Other 5%
In 2016, Clinton won the district by 7.5%.
All this is why the primaries will produce one Rep and one Dem to run in the generals.
Which party will win in the generals is more of a toss-up.
Assembly District 76 voter registration in 2017:
ReplyDeleteRep 34.4%
Dem 33.1%
NP 26.9%
Other 5.7%
Primary will move one Rep and one Dem to the general. Which party will win there is anybody's guess.
3:10,
DeleteUsing your numbers above:
If Party R runs TWO strong candidates who evenly split the votes from registered R voters, and Party D runs FOUR strong candidates who evenly split the vote from registered D voters, and all six strong candidates capture a proportional share of the NP vote, then who would proceed to the runoff election?
4:01 Theoretically possible but highly unlikely in practice. If you disagree, cite instances in CA where it's happened with comparable registration and past election results since CA went to open primaries.

DeleteA statewide federal Senate race is hardly comparable to a federal district Congressional or state Assembly race.
DeleteNice try, though.
