“Given the Golden State’s deeply entrenched Democratic bastions, is it even possible that this state is in play?”
No. Next question.
I have been thinking for a while now that if Trump would hold some rallies in California - especially in Nancy’s district - that there might be a shot at flipping California. A long shot, perhaps - but a shot just the same.
California has become a shitehole, and everybody knows it - especially the people who live there.
The state is sinking for so many reasons. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump could flip it.
California may be driven to draining their own swamp and wrestling their version of the Deep State out of the ooze.
California as Venezuela is not a pretty picture. The current and past few state administrations have steady eroded, if not completely collapsed, much of the wealth and potential the state was naturally endowed with.
California was once the Golden State, and it can be again. Somehow, the infection has to be drained from its system before it can again function at the level it once did.
