they lose several congressional seats

They've already lost a couple because people are exiting the state. That trend will continue.

“and as gutless as the Reps are...”

As I understand it, Republicans have no power to do much of anything politically in Cal. The dems have 75% or the seats in both the General Assembly and the state Senate. They can always try law fare, but even there they are up against a very strong headwind.

And because of the jungle primary system, they lucky to even get on the general election ballot in most of the state.

NEWSCUM HAS NEVER PLAYED BY THE RULES

HE MAKES UP HIS OWN RULES AS HE GOES ALONG

HIS 2nd wife said adios when he insisted on threesomes & foursomes

they can take them to court just like the democrats do in Texas every time redistricting is tried. Except of course the dems win every time.

“Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday confirmed he’s seriously considering two options to try to redraw California’s congressional districts to get more Democrats elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.”

Why not just advocate policies that people don’t hate.

Today is Elbridge Gerry’s birthday. He died in office as Vice President to President James Madison. The Democratic Party claims to descend from the party started by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

That's fine. Call a snap Constitutional Convention and break California into 14 new states.

Gruesome can have _untville where his favorite restaurant -- French Laundry -- for him to flaunt his own COVID crackdowns is still open and never required masks per Goblin's own edict.

His pathetic efforts to constantly own the MSM newscycle space, he fears the Bernie/AOC team-up so. incredibly. badly. If she runs she will box him out of the early primaries and by the time Kalifornia rolls around he will be well and truly f----d.

"In the days following the 2024 election, FR was loaded with screams that the seats not decided election night in Calif were being stolen. They were not being stolen that night. "

Yeah they were stolen in the two months to follow of counting counting counting.

Pelosi's daughter celebrated the steal by breaking into song, she just had to, as I will when you get the long-overdue zot.

"Christine Pelosi, political organizer and daughter of Nancy Pelosi, was so excited about curing ballots for Gray in the Central Valley that she broke out into song about it on X yesterday — not Lady Gaga’s certified banger “The Cure,” but a slightly rewritten rendition of Willie Nelson’s classic “On the Road Again.” Sadly, it won’t be going platinum: She deleted her post hours later."

Not much CA GOP can do.
RAT Supermajority.
TX could have fixed their problems 30 years ago.
It is nice they are finally getting to it.

Stealing votes and having illegals vote isn’t enough for you, Newsome?

[napscoordinator]

Nope. We’re doing the same in Texas and will get five seats. The problem in California is they have 54 seats and only 9 are republicans, so it will be difficult to find five new seats for them.

[Bob Wills is still the king]

“His idea has high hurdles, meaning he’s talking out of his ars.”

Newsom has a veto-proof Democrat super majority in the California legislature, so this is as good as a done deal.

[Machavelli]

California should lose congressmen. They cheated on the census.
