Romero in 2006

A longtime former California Democratic legislative leader announced Wednesday she no longer "recognize[s her] party," while noting she still considers many of its historical figures, including former President John F. Kennedy, her "heroes."
Gloria Romero, who served as the state Senate majority leader for three years of her more than 10-year stint in Sacramento, slammed the current state of her former party.
Romero said she had been a delegate to the Democratic National Convention for both Jesse Jackson and Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., adding that many Latinos and Latinas are leaving the party for similar reasons.
"Today, I say ‘Goodbye – adios’ — I’ve had enough," the former San Gabriel Valley lawmaker said in her announcement.

I don’t blame her. I’ve had enough of those weird bass turds and I’m not even a DemocRAT.
Move to a Red state and keep voting Blue.
Move to the RINO Party and keep voting DemoKKKrat.
Different day. Same stuff.
This is all well and good. And I hope she has really seen the light, but it seems a lot of dems are switching parties which means they are bringing their mostly liberal ideology with them to the party. I spoke it’s not too bad if they are civilians, but folks in co gress are switching g parties too, and you know that they haven’t renounced all of their liberal ideology. But even in the civilian population, switchers bring their liberal ideology to conservative areas, and pretty soon solid conservative areas become less and less solid conservative -
Maybe they can b3come more conservative over time if they’ve truly had a change of heart, but it seems like they are leaving thei4 party only because they are becoming the targets of the left because they aren’t as far left as the radical left are, not because they have had a cha ge of heart on liberal ideology like abortion, gun laws, etc etc
Zactly!
Are they actually coming over, or are they infiltrating?
It’s an opportune time to infiltrate.
Prolly we’re just picking up a new crop of particularly insidious RINOs.
HOORAY Gloria! Will your deeds reflect you words?
As someone who believes in redemption, I think she seems to be proud of being a delegate for bathhouse Barry, the propagator of all the current state of affairs in the dimocRAT party. Maybe she’ll see the entirety of the errors of her ways. This is a good start, however.
A drop in the bucket.
She claimed she could not stand by as Democrats took “a giant leap to authoritarianism [and] censorship,” noting former President Reagan warned that if fascism rose in the U.S. it would come under the guise of liberalism.
I’m happy she’s voting for Trump (not that it will matter in California), but if she was a delegate for Jesse Jackson or “Si Se Puede” Obama, I do NOT welcome her or want her on my side.
I think the opening of the eyes (& the move rightward) happens slowly. This lady is just starting. But once you’re willing to question part of the agenda, more & more can be accepted that they’d been unwilling to look at before.
That being said, I’d rather she just become an Independent for a while. But the way things are, Republicans need every bit of help they can get right now. Especially in CA.
A lot of these comments sound as loony as the liberal whackos do.
She could be a leftist infiltrator.
Odd how the corrupt MSM only cares about never-Trumpers voting for Harris.
Trust no one in today’s America. - It’s what I believe.
More and more women are waking up to the fact that the Rat party isn’t the “party of women”. Not being able to kill your baby isn’t nearly as important as keeping biological males out of women’s sports, prisons, and changing rooms.
no she endorced larry elder in the recall election a couple yrs ago.
