Wilson was not a good governor, and he’s probably good for a heavy contribution to the demise of the GOP here. But to equate Trump with Wilson is simply nonsense. As for the birthplaces of prominent Caiifornians, most folks here 50 years ago were from somewhere else. On the downside, Babs Boxer came from NYC (Brooklyn) and Nancy Pelosi “immigrated” from Baltimore, MD where her father was one of theiri earlier crooked mayors who ended up in jail for corruption. Unfortunately, both Fineswine and Jerry the Fairy are homegrown. Early on, my wife worked with a woman who was Jerry Brown’s parents next door neighbor. She used to say that both Jerry and his sister Kathleen were “strange children.” Jerry also “washed out” as a Jesuit Priest. He was down at the Villa Montalvo for a time but didn’t like working in the grape vinyards there.
Wilson was a rampaging pro-abort and an enemy of all things socially conservative. Hispanics tended not to agree. They did not head for El Norte so that daughter Anita could abort their grandchildren or so that son Pablo could "marry" Bruce. Many wanted jobs (first a temporarily), then ASAP businesses of their own, the American Dream, a decent home in a decent suburb. Orange County Board of Supervisors had an Hispanic Republican majority before Wilson started stinking out the joint statewide.
As to Pelosi, Boxer, Fineswine and Jerry the Fairy are all true. Pat Brown was tres corrupt as well. Remember the bumper snickers from Reagan's first campaign: "If it's Brown, flush it!"? What are liberals for? I don't know about Kathleen but she probably doesn't much matter. Those two (Jerry and Kathleen) are proof of how having leftist parents can totaly distort a kid's life.
As to Hispanics, Trump will be nationally what Wilson was to California. That is NOT nonsense. That is truth. Don't think so? What are his numbers among Hispanics? What has he done or TRIED to do about it?
