To the editor: If former Dodgers nice Steve Garvey loses within the election for U.S. senator from California subsequent week, it is not going to be as a result of he’s a Republican in a Democratic state. It’s as a result of he’s a political neophyte operating for an necessary, highly effective workplace, on a platform of being a MAGA mini-me. (“Garvey had better luck against the Yankees in 1981 than he will in the November election,” column, Oct. 25)
In different phrases, he took the sector with no glove, no warm-up and even any coaching or consciousness of the sport. In all of the years I’ve lived in Palm Desert, I don’t recall he was concerned in any native actions. I didn’t even know he lived right here.
I’ll give him credit score for being a mini-Trump. It appears he has finished poorly in enterprise, and his reward for robust immigration techniques signifies he’s blind to the devastating impact mass deportation would have on Coachella Valley residents and companies, a lot much less the California and nationwide economies.
It doesn’t matter what celebration somebody like Garvey registers in; he has no enterprise operating for the Senate. He’s incomes this loss.

To the editor: Even together with his title recognition, Garvey will need to have realized from the beginning that he was doomed to lose the Senate race.
As a center-right voter, I didn’t vote for him within the primaries as a result of I knew that he had no likelihood to win. As a substitute I voted for Rep. Katie Porter (D-Irvine), who’s a left-wing ideologue, however not less than she wasn’t Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank).
Our subsequent senator lied to the nation when he mentioned he had the products on then-President Trump in the course of the Russia investigation — even when it seems he didn’t.
I’m mad at Garvey for operating, as a result of not less than Porter would have had an opportunity to defeat Schiff.
