I don't want to say it's aliens, but it's aliens.................
Arnold Schwartzenegger
What’s happened? Gerrymandering, for one thing. My district was solid GOP for years until some “retired judges” decided to turn it into a Democrat stronghold.
They are too busy working on their arguments for the conservative case for Trans Reading Hour at local public libraries.
CA Pubs have been RAT lite for 30-40 years anyway.
A great many of the Intelligent People (Republicans) moved out. More will continue the out migration. Pretty soon, Mexico will ask the U.S. to return California to them. Probably not a bad idea as it will be a welfare drain on the U.S. economy.
The flesh eating bacteria AKA Democrats.
Republicans have been, and always will be afraid of the leftist media. They cower, and capitulate. Many of those Republicans hate President Trump because he’s a fighter, and they don’t see that as a viable option. The GOP wants to go along to get along. To be friends with those that hate them so they can be invited to cocktail parties.
The left, (the media and Democrats), have become more strident in their hatred of anything that has any resemblance to capitalist or conservative. Therefore, the Republicans have disappeared in CA.
Want to know where the GOP will be in 10 years? Look to CA.
Arnold Schwartzenegger counted as a Republican?
Illegal invaders and open, unfettered election fraud. Those two factors account for 95% of the reason.
Every single time.
The wife and I bailed in 2001, as we could see the writing on the wall...
It takes time... but....
There is one undeniable fact about progressive/socialist governments and policies.
They end up destroying the places where they control things.
But, it takes time...
And by the time the destruction happens, they will expect a rescue from the federal government.
Fact is that, if California were an independent country and government, it would have turned into Mexico or a Venezuela or Cuba... a long time ago.
My wife, and I are both California born, raised, residents of California, and both voted straight ticket Republican before we wed, and for 42 years since have continued to vote straight ticket Republican. We cannot speak for any of our co residents of this State.
The more important question.
What would it take for California to be American again?
Do you have the stomach for that?
I can’t wait to Escape from California. Coming soon, thank God.
I wish the entire GOP base in California would move to battleground states and save them from going blue. It would really help save the nation in the short term. Your vote is just swamped here, which is why there is not a single statewide GOP official and why only 18 of 80 Assemblymen are GOP.
Epstein did not kill himself !
But California Republicans did commit suicide.
Business leaders & Chamber of Commerce are very stupid people. They benefit by their position but could not manage their way out of a paper bag.
Cheap Labor immigrates hardcore socialists from foreign lands. Later Republicans must submit to Communist power, much like choosing China as a trading partner, but instead of vast new billion more customers,
Republicans get owned.
Business elites are just not bright folks.
And that is the simple reality.
WSJ is for Dummies.
Ca schools and roads used to be among the best.
They are now near the bottom of states. Kids have been
dumbed down thanks in part to unions.
Demographics. California was taken down by the tide of immigrants and socialism-loving post-Boomers.
It’s easy - Republicans kept losing elections in California since they always ran Romney/McCain types who weren’t conservative and always distanced themselves from unenlightened Republicans from flyover states. Since they didn’t win elections, the candidates got even worse, and now there is no one on the Republican side who even has name recognition. Plus Schwarzenegger was completely ineffective, failed at all his own initiatives, and left office with zero achievements. Thanks, CA GOP!
