To the editor:

The notion that California might consider electing Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer of San Diego as our next governor went up in smoke when columnist George Skelton quoted him as saying, “I voted for the president. I thought he was going to be the best for the economy.”

I can forgive someone who wanted to give Donald Trump one chance and voted for him in 2016. But how, after four years of the worst and most corrupt administration in the history of this country, could an elected official in California admit to voting for this disaster?

“Party over country” doesn’t strike me as an effective campaign slogan.
