Is California Jealous of Colorado? – The American Spectator

California Lt. Gov. Eleni Kounalakis is urging the state’s secretary of state to play catch-up with Colorado in that state’s lunatic, almost certain to be unsuccessful, effort to keep Donald Trump off the presidential ballot.

In her letter to Secretary of State Shirley Weber, she remarks on Colorado’s court decision to bar Trump, in which four justices were clearly suffering from altitude sickness, and we come across the following knee-slapper:

This decision is about honoring the rule of law in our country and protecting the fundamental pillars of our democracy.

Well, you coulda knocked me over with an absentee ballot. The above is stunning in its audacity and hypocrisy, even for California, where the interest on the part of public officials in “honoring the rule of law” is hardly on a boil. California residents will thank La Kounalakis for ensuring that California laws against murder, mugging, shoplifting, carjacking, assault, public defecation, et. al. are honored by enforcing them, even if it annoys George Soros. As for the Donald, on or off the ballot he has about as much chance of winning California as I do.

But take holiday heart, American Spectator readers. Red-blooded Americanos in flyover country, and the remaining coastal patriots, will not have to endure the self-destructive idiocy of California much longer. I’m putting the final touches on a deal to trade California (except for two valleys — Napa and Salinas) to Mexico for a case of Dos Equis Amber and a stale taco. It’s a trade, as they say in the sports biz, that will benefit both sides.
