It makes no sense for the Left/Democrat Party to select someone from California ... this state is already fully in the Left/Democrat column with the state’s rigged voting system which allows only Leftists to appear on the ballot (re: the 2016 U.S. Senate choices).
I’ve heard that California had at least 3 million illegal votes in 2016.
Those, who are able to, are leaving the sewer that CA has become. There are times when a person can’t just pick up and move. Those that can are doing so in record numbers.
