Again, I really don't see whats wrong with a Texan, who moved to California as a young adult running for governor, yall complain about the same white progressive billionaire male filling the roleplay. It's new and it's going to add a diverse story line. :/

There won't be a problem if she moves to Texas at a young age.

But a random young teacher simply won't be able to compete in the California jungle primary.

If allowed, she would have left her family around 19, moved to California and gotten her degree and became a teacher for years there, she isn't too young, I believe she's 46.

46 isn't a bad age. But a random teacher couldn't really get elected governor. I mean, the governor of California has more power than the Prime Minister of Canada.

Which is why I'm doing it for the storyline, and if it goes well, we never know what can Happen, 2016 should be a prime example of never to doubt a candidates potential to win.

I wish you luck. There are just a lot of very rich, well connected, and high profile players in the field already. It'd be hard for a teacher to get the media exposure and money.

I'd be really interested to see how Roberts polls against a generic Democrat, and against each of the current Democratic candidates.

Probably no Prog because there's not currently one. Though I'd like to see both options.

If Singh wins he would likely get nowhere, but act as a spoiler maybe getting 5% of the vote if he is lucky. If Schmidt wins...

The Trump Fallacy strikes again.

I wish you luck. There are just a lot of very rich, well connected, and high profile players in the field already. It'd be hard for a teacher to get the media exposure and money.

I just looked, I'm running against the former first lady, who's husband reputation has been tarnished by Democrats and the media....and he committed suicide. She may have sympathizers, but the public changes opinion like the average joe changes socks.

I would say Torres, but he is then against Rod, who despite being a Johnson has significantly less baggage.
