California has been in play, but the Rinocrats have abandoned us. They leave hanging out to dry and then have the gaul to pester us for money every election cycle. There is still a very strong conservative base here, some have just plane given up while others are just out right fed up with the “Republican Party.”
Make no mistake about it, whatever correcting gets done in the state will be without top Republican leadership’s help.
I totally agree with your take on it.
When open primaries popped up last year, the Republican leadership didn’t say one word in opposition. At least I never heard it.
