I mean there are strange cases like Joe Walsh, so we just treat them as anomalies

I know, it’s just frustrating looking or reading back on old characters. Gonzalez, the Kisers, Eggy, Conti, Breck, and so much more...

I can’t say the same about any of the 2016 candidates. They were all so....eh. For prospective 2020 ones, I can say with convinction that I would support Patton, probably.

Gonzalez and Jonathan Fox both operated under the assumption that all of California was Orange County


Speaking of, Fox should come out of the woodwork on this California issue, he stands to benefit most.

Seriously? Wow.... that was... not smart of them.

Fox wouldn’t happen to have been a Rep from OC, was he?

Perhaps Gonzales was from the OC too?

Fox is moderate as Dent said, and Gonzalez, from what I recall is from SoCal, but’s he was a self identified right-wing populist.

Morton would’ve supported both Gonzalez and Fox, Cao might have supported the latter based on his chances, and certainly would’ve supported the former.

Anyways, I could imagine some Johnson sneaky business afoot, working in partnership with some disgruntled former campaign staffers of either Fox or Gonzalez...

I mean we’ve had Republican senators from New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts; realism has never been entirely our strong point. Gonzalez and California is almost slightly less weird than the others.

But he also ran against Phonz, and that’s the more stinging loss for him, if I’m not mistaken.

Gonzo announced he would not seek re-election after dropping his presidential bid.

Republican Congressman and big agro exec Johnathan Fox announced.

Donald Johnson announced he was running for the seat, somehow no other Democrat ran.

Seeing an opening, the Greens recruited longtime investigative journalist and famous California broadcaster Reginaldo Alphonsey to run.

The Phonz surged, DJ flopped, and Fox did surprisingly well.

Dems got humiliated, blocked out of a (at the time) Green and Republican. First big Green victory. Donald Johnson turns into a militant anti-Green figure, raising conspiracy theories on Walton, the Greens cheating, and the idea that the Green Party is a terror organization.

Greens become Prog. Scandal emerges over Fox’s business ties, Phonz has to challenge Fox in rural areas, lacking the LA Dem machine.

De Nieto endorses Phonz late in the race, helping him to win at the same time as Reed.

The Johnsons still assure the world that they were cheated out of a senate seat.

Now the Johnsons have been vindicated. Fox has yet to emerge from the woodwork.
