Thanks @catturd2 but that's not what I did or said! The first thing I said was that we would keep fighting! Was asked whether national political environment played a part in the result, the answer is obviously yes. But my focus was the fact we were massively outspent by the corrupt Dem machine. Despite that we did better than most other governor candidates. I'm proud of our campaign, we had all the ideas, energy and creativity, a fantastic team and supporters. California is desperate for change and we will keep fighting!

I'm sorry but this is just such utter, pompous bullshit. Every single place the policies that Talarico proposes here have been implemented - notably California - the poorest people in our society have suffered the most. Spare us the "religious left" grift.
