More likely Senate. Feinstein is up in 2018 and the tides are turning against her. It would be a tough slog but doable. Oh and she'd have to run as a Democrat. I don't think a Republican could get elected in California in 2018.

I don't understand the delusion that Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina are under to think they can win election to political office without ever having done so before with the charisma of a wet noodle and a mostly standard GOP platform. I hate Donald Trump who also never won political office prior to 2016 but I can comprehend his appeal to racism and promising the moon on healthcare/jobs being a drawing card. The GOP would have a better chance of picking a conservative actress who at least has charisma and can read a speech like the actor Ronald Reagan (who at least was able to win leadership of his state first). Maybe Sarah Shahi, GOP members would be able ignore her Persian heritage because of the R next to her name.
