When the first frost hits hell.Activist judges and a rabid left state house will styme any attempts of straightening out that mess.
If we had some folks at the helm who understood what we are fighting...the Republican party would leave California so that there would be no mistake about the democrats destroying that once great state. As it is we give democrats fodder for blaming our policies and actions to explain away their failures...
The California of Reagan does not exist any more.
California has been lost for a generation. Leftist policies and tax aggression have made the state toxic to business development. Right thinking people have been fleeing the state in droves to be replaced by illegals. There is nothing that will reverse that trend.
They’ve picked the bones of the productive class clean. The only hope they have is to leech funds from outside of the state (i.e., bailout).
The national GOP should just write that trainwreck off. There will never be another GOP presidential candidate in our lifetime to carry that state.
Maybe, just maybe, after 4 or 8 years of Dem rule with unchecked spending and massive tax increases that pushes the hypocritical California rich to re-domicile and ultimately pushes the state over the brink. Then if it becomes clear they are not going to get a Federal bailout. Then maybe they will vote Republican. I doubt it though. My bet is California remains the US version of France, with riots every time someone remotely suggests spending cuts, until well after I am dead.
The CA GOP to rise again?
This depends on the masses in California to suddenly see the light that liberalism is a failed path. Rapidly growing are the numbers of the dependent class, Hispanics and others who are deeply and inherently in the dems’ camp, while what’s left of the producing class is dwindling by the day.
I see no indication the GOP even has a future in California, except for a presence in some of the relatively conservative counties. As a statewide power, it’s history.
“Do citizens want more freedom or big government control, Constitutional rule or activist judges, individual rights or group advocacy, low taxes or wealth redistribution?”
Californians answered all that when they made their choices on Nov. 2. With the nation as a whole decided to make a statement against statism, California chose to embrace it. Game over.
Californians don't see it that way. If progressive policies don't work, it's viewed as the fault of evil Republicans and corporations. They reflexively double down and embrace socialism even more. It's similar to muslims in the turd world.. their corrupt islamist governments drive them to lives of poverty and oppression. Do they seek another path? No... they chain themselves even more tightly to islam. In California's case, the religion is progressivism. Its residents have been schooled that way. To think otherwise is heresy.
WE need to just let California hit bottom, take a dead cat bounce and then go bankrupt. Maybe at some point they will figure out its time to change. No Federal money for CA. or any other state.
As long as the urban coastal areas keep growing, the number of illegal immigrants keeps increasing, and the unions maintain their stranglehold on the economy and statehouse, California is a lost cause. And when the Dems crazy policies don’t work it is because of (1)evil Republicans, (2) evil corporations and (3)they just didn’t spend enough money. It is never because the policy is wrong.
The California GOP may not be dead, but that’s no thanks to Schwarzenegger and Gerald Parsky, the two primary reasons for voters’ dismissive regard of the GOP as possessing not-a-dime’s-worth-of-difference.
By the time Republicans have control of California again, they will end up being elected pallbearers.
The coffins are being built on a daily basis.
Individuals & companies are moving east at an alarming rate.
In these challenging times, Republicans must teach, motivate, inspire, and, ultimately, draw a stark contrast between itself and the progressive politicians.

a stark contrast? LOL
Dump the New Majorityites and tell the Country Club elite to hit the road.. or just Get rid of the CA GoP alltogether and build up a TEA Party based movement and leave the progressives in the Left and the Right behind.
