The Kevin de Leon/Dianne Feinstein schism in the California Democratic Party actually represents a chance for a Republicans to challenge the political status quo in California, particularly Senate politics. There are a couple names that come to mind.

I suppose it's possible, but California isn't a one party state for nothing. It's partly the voting public, but also the huge, entrenched, and highly organized Democrat dominated public employees who look to taxpayers for their income and future. Millions of pensions are on the line and will vote and campaign like their life depends on it. The Democratic party in CA is like one giant union negotiating with itself over the public treasury. To them, Republicans are like pirates trying to board their cruse ship.
When De Leon starts mouthing off about "his people", he may not find the same allies that Feinstein did.
At this point, the Big One may be the best thing to happen to California since gold.
