Is there a way they could both lose?
Nah. California needs to go completely to the Dark Side(Democrat).
A friend of mine who left California says it needs to have a war in order to become livable again. Let the Democrats pander themselves into such a hole that they have to cut Welfare, services and union jobs. That will start the war.
Then the illegals will go home and the productive rich people can come back from Nevada.
Just think of it this way....No matter who wins, we lose.
