How conservatives in California — and nationally — could turn America around

Recently, California Gov. Gavin Newsom — who makes former Gov. Jerry Brown look like a conservative — declared that the national Republican Party is headed for the “waste bin of history” because of its policies. This from one who wants universal (taxpayer-supported) health care for undocumented migrants in California and taxpayer-supported preschool for all 3-year-olds by the same public school system that is failing elementary and high school students, with no solution for the many homeless in cities of the Golden State.

California can be saved from the progressives seeking the Democratic presidential nomination by broadening the base of commonsense voters who believe in the private sector and expansion of its business base. That base includes owners and, more importantly, employees of small, community-based and family-owned businesses who have the most to lose in jobs, income and retirement if businesses fail or move. The key for their survival is issue development, social media communication, education and training — and motivation to shape their futures.

This is not just a California phenomenon, but national in scope. If it works in California, it could work in other areas of the country. It is not unlike Faith & Freedom Coalition Chairman Ralph Reed’s recent observation about evangelicals: For them, late-term abortion is “infanticide.” Now they have a reason to turn out at the polls in 2020 that they didn’t have in 2018.

Concurrently, we must educate people on the incredible benefits they have received from the 2017 tax reform legislation. The nation’s economy has grown. Unemployment is the lowest for all Americans in years; there are now more jobs than people to fill them. Worker productivity, the key to wage and economic growth, is up . . .

Good luck with the social media aspect. They seem hell-bent on throwing the 2020 election to the DIMocRATs.

PING!

California can only be saved by removing all the Mexicans.

[Bommer]

Actually it’s the Mexicans that will save California. The vast majority of the white liberals are lost, but they have nice jobs. It’s the Mexicans that have lived there for decades that are getting screwed, All Trump has to do is go out there and tell them” almost 4 years ago, I told blacks that democrats use them and only look like they care when elections came around. So I told them to vote for me. What do you have to lose? Now unemployment for both blacks and Hispanic states is the lowest in history, everywhere but in California. I may not be appealing to you do whatever reasons, but unlike the democrats, I keep my word. Vote all these liberal bastards out, re-elect me and I swear I will make California Great Again.”

"Actually it’s the Mexicans that will save California."

Not true. Unless, by "save" you mean to turn more blue.

While "Whites" are nearly split (D) / (R), the "Latinos" are by far more (D) than anything else.

Fewer "Whites" as a percentage over the recent years has meant moving away from Reagan, and towards Newsom.

As an aside, its ironic that regarding historical political party strength, Texas has elected more Democrats at both the state and national level, than California has.

Demographic changes in the last several decades have indeed had their affect. CA is a harbinger for what's to come in Texas and elsewhere as legal and mostly illegal immigration change the country.

I meant Mexican citizens, not US citizens who are of Mexican descent.
It’s currently being run as a Mexican colony.
Unless the rule of law is restored, we might lose the whole country.

I am an LA native and live among every nationality in the book. I can safely vouge that overall: immigrant communities are inherently conservative on social issues and pro-small business.

Hey man, we need more gardeners here in California.

[HighSierra5]

You got that right. I tried to find an article about Biden’s slurred speach at the Fish Fry the other day on line. Nothing. Same with You Tube. It’s obvious how they’re controlling the internet for the Left. As far as California is concerned,the only way that things will change for the better is through armed conflict short of Jesus’ return. Just as the founding fathers did,it will be a heavy lift. These evil authorities will have to be yanked out of office by their necks. The Golden State has turned into the Molding State. Like EVERYTHING they have turned it into shiite,literally.

Socialism: you can vote your way in, but you must fight your way out.

[laplata]

I could never figure why people like that continue to vote Democrat. They simply cannot connect the dots.

[HighSierra5]

I like that. That would make a great bumper sticker or meme.

[SoConPubbie]

Those same “immigrant communities” also rely on the largesse of the State and Federal governments to provide them with all kinds of tax-payer provided social benefits.

Try again.

Many in California are clueless on the issues. Trump should campaign in California. Voice the issues and accomplishments. Hold rallies at military bases throughout the state. The media will have no choice but to televise them.

[wardaddy]

Nationalist conservatives can.

Civic conservatives which includes nearly all talk radio and 90% of the GOP are part of the problem

Dustbin bound

They will not lead once the shooting starts

[Altura Ct.]

Absolutely

Darned good illustration of Divide & Conquer

[cdcdawg]

California is gone. Texas and Florida are going. The muh Consachooshun doesn’t matter to the flood coming in. Hillary won the Latino vote 66-28, and she was horribly unappealing as a candidate.

[fruser1]

Republicans are going to the waste bin because they don’t have any policies. It’s always the commies pushing something and the repubs either agreeing or compromising.

[momincombatboots]

Depending on someone other than yourself is not conservative. Start in your inner circles. It may be now or never to save our kids, grandkids and the rest of the world.
This will only happen, in communion with zthe will of Jesus, door to door, family yo family.. church to church.
Our heritage is to disseminate information from the pulpit whrlwn there is no other way.
Shrug.
