Well we do know one thing - CA voters do NOT respect moderate republicans, which is all they've had to vote for on that side of the ballot since 84.
I'm thinking a principled alternative to liberal policies might not do too badly here.
CA today is just as blue as MA, VT, NY, or RI.
Doesn’t matter if you’re a RINO or a conservative Republican.
If you gotta an “R” after your name you are toastada.
