Those that vote DemocRat in California are those that PROFIT from tax-and-spend, welfare supporting, illegal supporting, business destroying DemocRats running the state...albiet into the ground. That is why they proliferate here. A state where bums and illegals flourish at the expense of business and REAL, taxpaying residents.
Actually, that’s not true. All the educated libs on the westside of LA and in the Bay Area are hurt by the socialism they vote for. They vote the way they do under social pressure, to be cool, hip, sensitive, do-gooders.
If you could turn those that actually do try to earn well and run businesses in CA to at least listen to a social liberal fiscal conservative, it might help the state.
I don’t know of any purist conservative strategy for California that would work.
Also, the populists on the airwaves all over CA could have some influence. They helped kill the phony Meg Whitman.
A reasonably modern social side, and a strong pro-American, pro-business conservative focus, could possibly have a chance, from my exposure to a lot of apoliticals or low info voters. They do see the state going into the sewer, and they admit to me, a known conservative, that they are uncomfortable with the amount of illegals and how nothing is ever done.
They are motivated to vote rat.
Then there are the teacher's, Prison, and health care worker's unions, that have a strangle hold on the state legislature, and then add the latino infiltration of the legislature, and it becomes a high and steep mountain to climb.
Given the numbers of the current participants, it is undoable.
However, there are more than 50% registered people who simply don't vote.
Granted, some are waiting for a more (fill in the blank) candidate, but mostly they are disinterested, demotivated, and generally accepting of the SQ.
Barring a strong, attention grabbing, eloquent speaking, point making fighter, willing to draw political blood, no change is on the horizon.
