Democrats’ post-election playbook: Stay big in California
Fox News ^ | April 15, 2017 | Joseph Weber

Posted on 04/16/2017 6:10:56 AM PDT by kevcol

After painful November 2016 losses, Washington Democrats still appear committed to devoting resources to strongholds like California, instead of responding to party pleas to put time and money into Middle America to reconnect with disaffected voters. .
.
.
“We have to talk to those people who take a shower after work, not those who just take a shower before work,” Ohio Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan said after the losses and amid his subsequent, failed effort to replace California Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi as House minority leader.

He also joined fellow party members in saying Democratic leaders had become too focus on liberal bastions like California, New York and neighbor East Coast states.

Excellent.

They can run for president of California as a regional party.

" grassroots efforts in places like Los Angeles and Orange counties make sense because voter-registration drives can reach a large number of unregistered Latinos, Asian-Americans and others who frequently vote Democrat."

How long before the ethnic communities figure out they can create their own parties and start taking offices away from demRATs?

I believe a lot of Republicans in California stayed home last November.

The way our “jungle primary” works, all candidates from all parties run on the same ballot and the top two vote getters run against one another regardless of party affiliation—and write-in votes are not counted. So in November, voters had a choice between two Democrats for the US Senate seat.

With no one to vote for in the Senate race and knowing Trump wasn’t going to win California, many Republicans probably figured a trip to the polls was a waste of time.

“We have to talk to those people who take a shower after work, not those who just take a shower before work”

Part of the Democrats problem is that too much of their base doesn’t know what a shower is.

Killary won CA by 4.4 million, and got 55 electoral college votes.

She could run again in 2020 and win by 10 million, but she’ll still get 55 electoral votes.

She won the national vote by 2.9 million, so CA by itself put her WAY over the top. Which is why we have the electoral college in the first place.

I thought Democrats were supposed to be the smart ones in politics. It looks like their top political people went to the Steve Schmidt RINO School of Political Consulting. They’re all losers!

Oh yeah, Hollywood is really turned on about DC Dems pouring money into Cali.

Reigning Democrat queen, Meryl Streep is due to star in the remake
of that box-office mega-attraction: "Attack of The Puppet People."

Michael Moore is being groomed to take the part of the friendless deranged Democrat-shrinker.

After 8 more years of continuing the present trends in California, it will clearly have become a failed state; a model of socialism and liberal idiocy on full display right here in the USA as a demonstration of where their ideology and current path inevitably lead.

Hopefully we can just contain that madness to CA, NY, and a few other wasting regions.

One DemocRAT stated that if you are pro gun, pro life or pro God there is no room for you in today’s DemocRATic Party. That pretty much alienates a very large segment of society.

Looks like Hawaii is the only state where every county went blue. Not surprising, with only one Republican governor since statehood, and she a lesbian RINO.
