“The problem is lack of R votes and R volunteers in the state, so it’s ineffective in most areas.”
A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step. It took decades for the GOP to lose its majority in California, it will probably take 20 years to become competitive. First step to getting voters and volunteers is to have a message that resonated with the voters and the willingness to promote it without fear. A weak message, and one delivered with no conviction from a bunch of white country clubbers, isn’t going to attract anyone. Trump gained Hispanic voters across the country despite the left constantly screaming he was a racist and his support of controlled borders. One would think there are hard working second generation Hispanic and Asian small business people who are tired of struggling under the crushing weight of big government who would be responsive to the message of limited government, individual liberty, personal accountability and upward mobility through economic success.
Unfortunately most of the party bosses don’t believe in the message and won’t take any personal risk to promote it. Few will roll up their sleeves and go out into communities preaching the message. Meanwhile the Democrats have their social justice warriors in the community everyday. If you don’t try, and sustain the effort, you will not win.
Agree with all. A quick flip is not realistic, but if anything could initiate an R tsunami, Biden & Co. are it. Harvest the hay while the sun shines (even though there aren’t many bright sunny days there lately.)
The decimation occurring there will catch up before long at the rate they’ve going. The hispanic/asian vote could loom large.
