Going back just a few elections, Bush (88), Reagan (84, 80), Ford (76), Nixon (72, 68, 60), Eisenhower (56, 52) ALL won California. Sure times have changed, but who is to say they can't and won't change again? To give in is to give up.
I think times have changed there a lot since Reagan.
I agree we shouldn’t give up, but we can’t become liberals to do it.
Look at Arnold, he’s morphed. He won, but he pushes liberal policies.
