RINOs endorsing RINOs will not build the GOP in California. I wish the California Republican Party would finally “get it.” California would be a Republican state if those people would simply look at Ronald Reagan for the example and follow his philosophies, principles and policies. But no...they think they have to look, sound and act like Democrats to get elected. It fails every single time.
I have a list of about 10 Republican Conservatives who lost big time, including Tom McClintock. You are engaging in wishful thinking.
California ain’t Alabama.
The demographics of California have changed so significantly in the last 30 years, that Ronald Reagan couldn't get elected in California, following his own example. That's just the practical political reality.
Scott Brown (who's a conventional Republican, but not an orthodox conservative) got elected in MA (and McDonnell in VA) by not talking about any social issues and focusing entirely on jobs, reducing the deficit by reducing spending, and not treating international terrorists like common shoplifters. I don't know what the candidates are talking about in Cali, but that should be where they start and stop.
