“more than half of California voters have considered leaving the state.”

“Republicans are three times more likely to consider leaving the state compared to Democrats.”

Doing some quick math, these suggest that virtual every Republican left in the state has considered leaving. Not surprising.

Sure, because most of the unproductive people on the take are democrats and they are not going to leave the free ride. The productive people are the ones leaving and they are mostly Republicans with a few productive democrats thrown in because they now can’t even stand what they have created themselves.

2 Conservative families have left my housing tract recently. They moved to Prescott Arizona and McKinney Texas.

Howdy to my new McKinney neighbor from nearby Garland! I came back to Texas from California in 2015, and an LA friend moved to the Dallas area last month. Most of my California friends are making plans to get out.

That’s very good news. I’m not worried about Republicans moving to my state.

It’s better than nothing, but I’ve also met a number of Republicans from California that do seem to have trouble fully grasping what conservatism means.

So for those of you from or in California, who think you’re conservative, I’ll help: “If you have a problem with Trump’s tweets, then you’re not a conservative.”

That simple.

Not sure if this has anything to do with anything, but...

Saw a house the other day (deep blue neighborhood) with a yard sign for “Movement.org” (it might be a different URL, I will have to go back and check) which is supposed to support “progressives” in “swing states.”

Is there some secret buzz that California is in danger of becoming a swing state? If so, stay tuned!

Well, at least the last one to leave won’t have to turn off the lights.

Last week I discovered an ex-California friend, who sounded conservative as opposed to her leftist children back in LA, isn’t quite Red yet. She was clearly not happy when I was listening to Rush on the radio for a few minutes, and that was the first sign.

Hey, I don’t like to listen to Rush on the radio either. Not so much to do with his politics, more to do with his delivery style, though. :P

My wife’s parents and a sister’s family are leaving early next year. Most of her nephews and nieces have moved out of the state, all but one of mine have. While we escaped in 1987 when we thought it was already getting crazy, I have kept in touch with many friends and really don’t know anyone who hasn’t seriously considered leaving if they haven’t already.

Ya mean like all the phony establishment posers parading around as "conservative" Republicans who used the term, "Conservative" as a buzz word to attack and discredit Trump on his run up during the election?
