Old, crusty, San Francisco Marxist Diane Feinstein isn’t getting the endorsement of the California Democrat party. After over 25 years of embarrassing California in the Senate, California Democrats are looking for more loony toons like Kamala Harris to replace Feinstein.

Democratic Party activists have never really been Feinstein’s people. In 1990, when she was running for governor, she came to the party convention and expressed her support for the death penalty, eliciting boos from the liberal crowd. She lost the party endorsement to her opponent John Van de Kamp but got the nomination anyway, ultimately losing the November election to Pete Wilson.
Feinstein has always been a little to the right of where the party’s activists are. Now, at age 84 and in her final campaign, Feinstein is once again at odds with progressives, despite her efforts to move left by more strongly opposing President Donald Trump’s agenda.
She said the Appropriations Committee she sits on would never approve $25 billion for Trump’s wall along the Mexico boarder. But minutes later, de León’s team sent texts noting that Feinstein had just voted for exactly that as part of the “Common Sense Coalition” spending plan that failed to get through the Senate.
