Three takeaways from Adam Schiff and Steve Garvey’s fiery California Senate debate

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and former baseball great Steve Garvey’s Tuesday night debate turned prickly and personal within minutes, with both taking swipes at the other for failing Californians on everything from reproductive rights to immigration.

Schiff and Garvey are jockeying for the Senate seat left open by the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein last year.

Garvey, a Republican from Palm Desert, California, painted Schiff as a “career politician” who is more concerned with personal political aspirations than helping Californians.

“This man hasn’t done anything over the last 24 years on any of these things that have given us any consistency in life,” Garvey said during the hourlong televised debate. He also claimed that Schiff was too obsessed with a personal vendetta against former President Donald Trump to care about the needs of Californians.

I really liked Garvey in his playing days, and I wish he would win. Reality is, he has no chance. He also didnt help himself by skipping big GOP events, and not asking for Trumps endorsement.

He also played his last five seasons with the Padres. In 1986, when the Padres held spring training in Yuma, I briefly talked to him in the biggest bar in Yuma.

Schiff is a domestic enemy and an enemy of the state (of CA) but he has a majority there that agree with his sinful and anti-American beliefs and desires.

I think Wes Parker played first base at least some of the years when I was a kid. Wiki says he had the spot from '64 to '72. Garvey must have been the one who took over the spot.

Correct. Garvey played parts of 1969-72, and was full time once Wes retired.
