DiFi vs Tom Steyer?

But when you are 84, and have been on that level for decades, what matter does power mean?

They talk about retiring CEO's going from the book of Who's Who to Who's That. Not all of them like that.

Again, I can't speak for anyone but we do know power is an aphrodisiac and not everyone wants to retire and stay home.

I think fear and scared are relative terms here in how they are being used.

There are a lot of young progressive activists in California who are looking for change from DiFi's more "establishment" moderation. As a result re-election is likely not going to be a cakewalk

And I'm one of them. Her time is up, I won't argue that. But to say she's scared or fears her opponent is just silly.

You need to stop reading so many articles and using them as facts.

Well, you have to understand how the term is being used by the authors. They're not saying she's staying up at night afraid for her family's safety. They are saying who would potentially be her most challenging opponent. That's why I posted the article to show its context.

Reading is a good thing.

The article is opinionated BS.

She has nothing to fear no matter how you spin it.

Leaving aside the fact I've spun nothing you're saying her re-election is fait accompli?

If the article is b.s. who is her number one challenger?

I also posted the article because it gave the name of the guy who has already declared. Keven De Leon I believe. You heard of him?

Yes, but he hasn't stated what he's going to do a about racial inequality, police brutality, crime, institutional racism, etc.

I haven't researched every candidate as of yet but I'll let you know, when I know.

People who can win a senate seat in California generally just don't appear out of the blue one day and say "I'm running."

This political writers who follow this for a living and have sources within all the campaigns generally have an idea what's going on.

If this guy is so bad ass, why doesn't he declare? He should be a shoo in right?

You can follow the political writers and I'll follow me.......when I know, you'll know.

the article talks about it.

Dude was a huge donor for Obama. Was considered for secretary of the treasury. Has funded many ballot measure and state congressional races in California. He has talked about running for governor. If you follow California politics you are familiar with him. Not sure where you read he'd be a shoo in. As the article I posted stated he'd most likely be her toughest opponent

Or maybe she's his toughest opponent?

We'll never know until he declares.

Feinstein has announced she's running for re-election. She's around 84 years old but not ready to give up yet. Her biggest possible opponent is billionaire hedge fund manager turned environmentalist Tom Steyer. Dude donated something like $70 million to liberal candidates/causes last year and is ready to self fund his campaign if he chooses to run.

I know TTQ64 lives in California. Who do you like in this race?
