Hollywood comedic legend Rob Schneider recently announced he is leaving the Democratic party and endorsed Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R.) for Governor of California, Politichicks.tv reports.
Schneider said the supermajority of Democrats in the state legislature "isn't working," and despite being a lifelong Democrat he can no longer support a party that has driven businesses, including his own, out of the Golden State.
The actor also noted he has differences with Donnelly on social issues, but the economic challenges facing California supersede trivial wedge issues that traditionally divide Democrats and Republicans.
