Sadly for those of us hoping California would go full commie as an object lesson for the rest of the nation, the state legislature has shelved the proposed $400 billion single-payer health care bill. Democrats are naturally blaming Trump, because the scheme would require a bunch of waivers from the Administration to go into effect, but the real reason is that it’s a total lunatic idea, and there a just enough Democrats who recognize this. You might as well build a high speed rail up the middle of the state. Oh, wait. . .
Anyway, expect single-payer to come back as a central issue for the governor’s race next year. Likely front-runner Gavin Newsom will campaign for it, but interestingly one of his chief rivals, former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, has been tacking to the right (for a Democrat) perhaps in an attempt to position himself better against Newsom and his Bay Area base. Villaraigosa has been making some acerbic comments about “Tesla Democrats.” Could be some great blue-on-blue action next year.

In not too many election cycles, Latinos will dominate at the election box and will replace a lot of old white liberal politicians. They may remain to left of center, but look no further than Mexico to see how they will govern the state.
Latinos will dominate at the election box...They may remain to left of center
At any civic meeting, school, community, church they are fire breathing communists
Go Tennessee!
Never been so proud of my legislature
In some states they will dominate. I think Governors Walker, LePage and Sununu (among others) are showing the way that the parasite class can both be discouraged from settling and encouraged to leave. If more takers are encouraged to leave Michigan for Illinois there could be a significant change where places like Michigan begin to lean GOP.
Commies yes, but I don’t see them as utopian as the old white dems they are replacing.
True GIMEDATS. They don’t even volunteer in local Little League. But they show up and use our support.
Way to go Tennessee!
Visited Nashville a couple weeks back...Holy Cow! Lot of energy there! Fun place to be, and the economy seems to be jumping!
On such a summer’s day.
We need to start using the phrase: “Tesla Democrats.”

Nicely done Tennessee!
Great response.
Some sanity continues to flow out from the states since Jan 20th of this year.
In California....
Has already happened in the southern part of the state
