Steyer’s millions are just going to help put a Republican in the governor’s mansion in Sacramento.

There are over a dozen Dem candidates, and just three republicans.

California has a “jungle primary” where the top two vote getters advance to the general election in November.

Do the math.

A bunch of Dems, including Steyer, need to drop out, or they are going to hand the race to the republicans.
