Ok did I read this correctly?

Dude says

1)Even though it passed overwhelmingly with 40% of rat votes and even 27% of Hispanics, prop 187 was a bad idea that “alienated Hispanics”

2)But that’s ok, the real reason we lost is only cause all the decent people moved away (that actually makes sense, but ignores the illegal population boom)

3)The “solution” is to run away from Trump and be less conservative on “some” (unnamed) issues, with no analysis as to why that would help.

Based on other states like Massachusetts and Maryland, that “solution” would seem to at best allow that maybe when the rats nominate someone too disgusting for Governor that a RINO who is hardly better than a “moderate” democrat might get elected but there will still be a veto-proof rat majority in the leg and no GOP in Congress.

The only way I see to hold our House and leg seats and maybe gain a couple back is to motivate the decent people still there to turn out and vote. The slack jawed idiots the author thinks are winnable don’t vote GOP downballot in any other state so why would they in California? None of Ah-nolds 2006 crossover rat voters voted Republican for legislature. None of Chazz Baker’s did, none of Larry Hogan’s did, none of Phil Scott’s did.

MD: 2018 Larry Hogan won by 12% (Legislature: +1 GOP State Senator; -8 GOP State Reps)
MA: 2018 Charles Baker won by 33%(!) (Legislature: -1 GOP State Senator; -2 GOP State Reps)
VT: 2018 Phil Scott won by 15% (Legislature: -1 GOP State Senator; -10 GOP State Reps)

Didn’t help the party at all in these 3 states. A single Senate seat gain in MD legislature, and a loss of 2 seats each in the Senate and TWENTY seats lost in the 3 Houses.

Well said, Impy!

My two converted Cruzbots have their heads and their as*es wired up correctly now.

I’m off to huff cat pee...
