"Obviously, God wanted 5 more months of me exposing all the failures of our mayor, so it's going to be a fun ride. I hope she's ready!"
"Now, I have 5 months to get deep into every community that hasn't heard my message to make them safe. So I'm actually very excited because I felt very rushed. It's a big city and I was not able to talk to as many people as I look forward to talking to. This is the first time since 2005 an incumbent is going to a runoff."

NYT Sez: Bass: 34.8%; Pratt 30.4%; Ramen 22.3%. Ramen would have to 'find' another 40,000 votes to ease past Pratt. It's going to be very interesting to see what Pratt has to offer, campaign wise.
He'll probably gain more support as Bass runs away from him and her record for the next 5 months, but in the end, he's highly unlikely to overcome the votes she'll pick up when it's a 2-person contest. She will get nearly all the votes that went to other Dems in the primary. Same with the Governors race. The majority of CA voters are mentally incapable of solving their own problems, which they created by choice. They will bravely go down with the ship.
Karen Bass was on the short list to be Vice President of the United States. Think about that for a moment.
Nothing would make me happier than a Pratt upset victory losing me money on Kalshi, but if I thought Angelenos were smart I wouldn't have placed the bet.
Five more months of great AI videos and hummingbirds.
Even more interesting, in a way, is he Governor's race. NYT sez:
Hilton: 27.8%; Becerra: 25.4%; Steyer: 19.6%. Unless I've got it wrong, Steyer would have to 'find' 408,000 votes in order to force Hilton into third place. He would have to 'find' 41.6% more votes than he has already collected, in other words, almost half-again more - looks like a big margin, that way. So it would appear that there will be a runoff in the Gubernatorial race, too.
CA wouldn't elect Abraham Lincoln or George Washington if given the chance.
No matter what - this is what fighting for justice looks like.
Democrats are pure evil.
I didn't know that the entire race could have ended last night if Bass had gotten over the 50% mark.
The fun thing is that just like Trump did by holding meetings after the fires with the clown car occupants of LA & CA government, this guy is going to be demonstrating the difference between policies meant to solve actual problems for city residents, and the policies of grifters in current positions of authority in LA. People might just notice that spending billions and getting addicted squatters who crap on your streets isn't really something that anyone wants, other than the NGO grant recipients.
Typical DNC-run California. Only 63 percent of the vote counted and its 11 AM EST, 8 AM PST. They still have 290,000 votes to count.
Neither of his opponents can simply speak off script like he does. They both have completely locked up, speechless on camera when asked questions. The Dem machine is unmatched at finding these incompetent candidates and often electing them. This level of weakness would have never been accepted 20 years ago. What has happened to the left side of our culture? It simply has no standards.

Scary as hell. God help us, if anybody like her gets that close...Obama was bad enough.
Calf Gov race is even more absurd. 57 percent of vote counted. 3.7 million votes to go.
Pratt underperformed. I have no hope that he can win--there are too many people who care more about their status as good democrats than about the future of their city--but I was hoping the pollsters would underestimate his strength. A solid first in the primary would have been a nice moral victory before he's inevitably overcome by the machine.
"LA. People might just notice that spending billions and getting addicted squatters who crap on your streets isn't really something that anyone wants..."
If Republicans are against it, they want it.
BTW, isn't it weird how if you have 3 relative unknowns running for office, its rare for one to get more than 55 percent? What is it about people that they always split the vote?
That's how Miss Lindsey wins the primary in SC. Two or Three R's always run against him, and instead of getting behind one challenger they ALWAYS split the vote. Even when the other 2-3 have identical conservative positions.
All the criticisms about Pratt being unqualified are just B.S. They elected totally unqualified Bass over a highly successful billionaire builder who managed to keep his own property from burning down right in the middle of the fires. The most qualified person who ever ran for mayor, but he wasn't a Democrat, and he wasn't trained by Cuban communists.
BTW, City of LA has 2.2 million voters and it looks like about 750,000 will have voted in this election. So, about 1/3. Crazy low given California has mail-in ballots.
Why is being a good firefighter a qualification for mayor?
"Ramen would have to 'find' another 40,000 votes to ease past Pratt."
I have no doubt they could do it, but it might be too brazen considering the heightened scrutiny. My guess is they'll let it ride.
"Karen Bass was on the short list to be Vice President of the United States. Think about that for a moment."
And you would have voted for that ticket. Think about that.
He got and managed his own resources, built things correctly, knew not to rely on the government, and he spent his life successful building parts of L.A. and dealing with it's wasteful and stupid regulations to do so. He runs huge organizations, with big budgets and lots of employees. That's just the overview. Details of what qualifies him are volumes. He is the perfect person to be a mayor of L.A. The question is what qualifies Bass? There is something, but it's not a good thing for the people.
"Typical DNC-run California. Only 63 percent of the vote counted and its 11 AM EST, 8 AM PST. They still have 290,000 votes to count."
Listened to All Things Considered on the ride up north yesterday. Even they called out California for their absurd vote counting duration.
If he loses, I hope says it looks like God isn't done teaching L.A. a lesson.
"She will get nearly all the votes that went to other Dems in the primary. Same with the Governors race. The majority of CA voters are mentally incapable of solving their own problems, which they created by choice."
Yeah, neither Pratt nor Hilton have a chance.
Everybody knows why the vote counting takes so long, and it's not just incompetence. Many voters favor their vote being duplicated anyway possible.
If you want to do some vote fraud in L.A., who do you have to worry about? Who is going to come after you as long as you cheat the right direction. There is near zero risk.
I hope the FBI set up some stings in CA. It would be easy fishing.
democrats who get their intelligence from jimmy kimmel are the base of the idiot party in CA.
It takes how many weeks to count the votes in Putin's Los Angles?
the dem's candidate are now all incompetent puppets, Islamic supremist Marxists, and most certainly corrupt communists.
Bass(D) is qualified by her vagina, her skin color, and her religious adherence to Cuban style authoritarian cruelty.

And she is smarter than Biden or Harris.
And they are all smarter than you.
I have two nephews living in LA. One in Malibu, and one in the Valley.
They grew up in Santa Monica , Venice.
fully vaccinated, reliable Dem voters.
In spite of the obvious decline of LA, and all of S. Calif, they will continue to vote for leftists.
I don't understand how people can live in a literal crap hole and not want to change it.
Here's whats going to happen:
Bass is going to clean up the city for the upcoming world cup. Homeless will be moved, streets cleaned. Then Pratt will point out why they simply didn't do this already, as he's been saying he will do. Bass, not being completely stupid, will continue these policies to hold off Pratt in the general. And then will backslide once she's re elected and the Marxist berate her for practicing inequity or something.
MY shitlib brother lived in Altadena and had his entire neighborhood burn down. He can't comprehend voting for someone other than a democrat. He's also, hands down, the most ignorant person I know. Knows nothing outside his bubble, and it's usually inaccurate.
They like to bathe in the dung
No updates to the voting tallies since early this morning. They must be very busy indeed.
LA probably loses non-leftist individuals and non-leftist families and non-leftist business owners on a constant basis. Only people who stay are Jimmy Kimmel brain dead propaganda eating idiots.
California doesn't verify citizenship. In fact, they dont verify anything, and mail out ballots to anyone with a drivers liscense. Motor-voter. You can vote by mail anytime. Its a just blank check for fraud. As Stalin said, it doesn't matter who votes, it matters who counts the votes.
They also print ballots in 30 different languages, so no knowledge of English his required. No wonder the D's win every election!
Chest, that cleanup is not going to happen. The bureaucratic and operational barriers are simply too strong. The insiders calculation is simple: the Cup will come and go, but my organization and my rice bowl are forever.
Washington has no income tax yet does just fine. other states, Oregon IRC, have no sales tax, and do just fine. california has both. What the hell they do with all their billions is unclear. I've never met anyone from California who said they missed the State Government.
Of course, you can say the same thing about NY state.
Pratt does a reframe: Rather than say I’m going to beat her (picking on a girl) or I’m going to win (typical male ego trip),
he says - this gives me 5 months to expose all the corruption. That’s good stuff.
They will only do for xi citizens dont count
“Think about that for a moment”
As far as I can tell, she’s little different from all of the current crop of Democrats running for major office.
Enough with the niceties companera bass needs ti be run to ground
Shes qualified to destroy a city
"California doesn't verify citizenship."
Didn't they make it illegal to verify citizenship?
I also thought it was clever for Pratt to start saying a few days before the election - no need for a run off, I’m going to win.
I think that created an expectation on the part of voters that he would do well. So the Democrats couldn’t fudge the numbers too badly.
This is an impressive showing. The ads for his campaign are more entertaining than the stuff on Netflix.
When I read this post aloud to Mrs. MJB she blurted “He’s a Mini-Trump!” Which is of course what the socialists want to call him too. But it’s true that his answers are so spontaneous and transparent that he’s refreshing.
And that’s what They fear. They really fear the Trump like excitement in Pratt’s campaign. And he was rushed the last few weeks. He literally has time to get facetime with residents of EVERY neighborhood in LA. Trump proved that stale “democracies” have no defense against popular populism.
The glacial pace of their vote counting is one of a number of facts overlooked by fans of electing the President by national popular vote.
Unfortunately, the Californians aren't going to kick out the Communists and the Iranians aren't going to kick out the Islamists.
Maybe the Brits will kick out the Starmers.
I don't know who he is, but I don't like him.
"In spite of the obvious decline of LA, and all of S. Calif, they will continue to vote for leftists.
I don't understand how people can live in a literal crap hole and not want to change it."
Because the opposite is simply too mean.
Mean to kick illegals out
Mean to force homeless into treatment
Mean to treat impoverished souls like criminals when they break the law.
They just want to be nice, you see. They even have yard signs all about their niceness.
"Chest, that cleanup is not going to happen. The bureaucratic and operational barriers are simply too strong. The insiders calculation is simple: the Cup will come and go, but my organization and my rice bowl are forever."
It's Ikiru all the way around.
STARMER IS ATTEMPTING TO BAN BEING ANGRY WITH HIM.
bag: "What has happened to the left side of our culture? It simply has no standards."
Clock-radio concept. When you need someone with some retail political ability AND total loyalty to the Party, it narrows down the pool quite a bit. And the loyalty bit is more important. So they wind up with a calendar-radio instead. Or a clock-windup music box would be a better analogy, maybe.
Trump and Pratt on the other hand are KLH hi-fis with no clock, because the time is always NOW! CC, JSM
"I don't know who he is, but I don't like him."
He's the guy LA doesn't deserve, but he is the one it needs right now. So they'll hate him, but he can take it...their dark spite.
@Peachy, Brits need to ban Starmer's ability to breath oxygen.
“Unfortunately, the Californians aren't going to kick out the Communists”
Pratt is very good when he explains communism.
What impresses me about him is that he doesn’t hide from any topic. And I’ve never seen him stumped. Not that he knows all the answers but he’s thought through the issues. He’s led a thinking life.
Like Trump he has a female side to him. You could see him completely at ease discussing fashion - or boob jobs as he did Maher and yet never condescending or smirk-y.
The Democrats should be worried. Win or lose, damage will be done.

Yup. That’s Bill Maher’s problem too — and a lot of others who regularly call out Democrats for their insane excesses. If you aren’t prepared ever to vote for a Republican, no matter how close to the center the candidate might be, then the Democrats as a party will continue in their extremist trajectory. Like a flatworm in a biology class, Democrats only respond to the pain (of losing elections) as a stimulus.

According to explanations given last night there are three kinds of voters in California - early mail-in which arrives before election day; election day in person; mail-in which is legal although it arrives after election day. And these three kinds of votes have different characteristics. Early mail-in is more Dem - it was giving Bass 38% and Pratt 30% when I went to bed. Election day is more Republican. When I got up Bass had 34% and Pratt 30%. mail-in which legal though it arrives late is very heavily Democratic. Each of these divisions has about 1/3 of the vote. So LA has about 1/3 of the vote left which will probably be way out of line with the other two vote portions which differ from each other by single digits. This final vote portion is Democratic by the amount needed to make the Democrat win. So that if 40,000 votes are needed to knock Pratt out, the vote is likely to be that amount by a strange coincidence. California late mail-in always has been strangely coincidental in favoring the Dems - up to this year.
But this year there will be massive scrutiny. So will the coincidence occur? There are penalties for non-coincidental coincidences. Moreover, if California's unusual late voting pattern is revealed to have a non-coincidental basis, that will cast a light backward on the 2020 election. An unwelcome light. A glaring light.
So inside each late-mail-in-ballot box, a lever has been pressed. Is the California coincidence alive or dead inside those boxes? The Schrodinger election.
If Trump really wanted to stir up some shit, he could unleash Harmeet to crawl all over the Cali ballot counting operation while it's going on. No standing/laches/mootness stuff, just the Civil Rights Div doing its thing under VRA. CC, JSM
Tom Steyer has spent $500 million on two campaigns — and lost both times.
Democrats are really bad with money.

The NYT is still not showing any updates to the vote tallies from last night.
In very round numbers the leading Republican candidates (mayor and Governor) got 30% of the vote. Does anyone think that in the general a large majority of those voting for a (D) not leading will switch to (R)?
Of course not. It is, relatively, encouraging to see the relative effectiveness of a good, conservative campaign this time. But considering the crap hole California, and still smoldering crap hole LA is.... We B Doomed.
