The political press corps has known Bob Stern as the straight-arrow president of Los Angeles’ Center for Governmental Studies who helped Jerry Brown create the Fair Political Practices Commission in 1974. Since the center closed its L.A. offices in 2011, Stern seems to have developed a devious side — or was it there all along? I ask, because in his November Election course at UCLA extension, Stern managed to set up a scenario wherein a substantial majority — he thinks two-thirds of the class of westside liberals; his wife, Joan, says three-quarters — raised their hands when asked if they could vote for Donald Trump in November.
Cruz or Trump is a great reality check for liberals. To me this is an exceptionally easy choice. But I’ll let you guess where I’d come out.
