It’s pretty hard to maintain the status of a major party, when all of your constituents are fleeing to the USA.
And the rest of the highly-populated states will go the same route, as sex deviates, welfare parasites, illegals, inner-city tribal units, felons, and Union-extortionists who are ALL dependent on Taxpayers have gained the necessary size to overwhelm the Tax-paying Repulicans. Once the Exodus of business and taxpayers is complete, they will depend on Taxpayers nationwide to keep them afloat.....it’s coming to a City near YOU soon, too......
The GOP isn’t doing well in Beijing, Pyongyang, Tehran and Havana either. Ain’t lookin’ good.
Wake up people. White babies are a minority. In a few years, we will be told that we will never get suburban women if we don't support gay marriage.
Sadly, my State is going hard Left and will pretty much eliminate the GOP in November. The worst part is the GOP will have less than the 1/3 needed to stop a full Rat takeover.
California is well down the road to the hell One Party government.
The only thing saving it from compelte disaster is Prop 13.
California is a one party Democrat state. It is in financial decline and is on the verge of bankruptcy. The state has no one to save them from themselves. There is no Ronald Reagan. There is nothing to prevent further decline.
I see nothing that can be done about it. The Dems have gerrymandered themselves into a permanent position of power. The state government is beholden to union interests that are finding out that their pensions and the tax revenues to pay them their wages are shrinking with alarming rapidity. Of course, nobody is willing to take the first hit. In the meantime, CA is losing power generation capability and the ability to harness it natural resources, eg; oil. Industries are fleeing for lower taxes. In short, the great climate has ceased being the factor that could outweigh any and all other disadvantages.
This once-great state I moved to 40 years ago, which had the best roads, the best schools, jobs for anyone who could get out of bed 2 days in a row, and a thousand different industries of every description, is now an amorphous mass of welfare recipients and dedicated liberals intent upon creating a utopia of ever-shifting characteristics. They’re not going to be convinced until it’s destroyed.
So let it crash and burn. Neither logic nor reason need apply. It will have to be a socio-science fair project that goes wrong at the end.
They have become the marginalized party in a soon to be marginalized state.
From now on, California is considered suffering from a sickness of liberal excess. Sort of a place to visit, but not live (unless you are very wealthy). Unhealthy in many ways.

Add to that faux Republicans who sabotage any conservative who dares run for office. The Wilsons, Parskys, Schwarzeneggers, Maldonados et al. have done everything they can to screw the Republican base for their own personal gain and petty vendettas.
And judges have done everything they can to subvert the will of the people and enact their own agenda, add to that voter fraud, people no longer have confidence their votes and voices count anymore.
Now that many conservatives have fled the once golden state, and I know of many, and illegals are firmly entranched, that has lead to the decline in party registration.
This has happened because the California GOP attempted to become a “big tent” party and precisely because they elected a RINO to replace Davis. Electing Rinos is not a “lesser of two evils” act, it is the path to oblivion. They taint the party label for generations and destroy the party’s ability to take principled stands against collectivism. In short, they turn the GOP into the very thing conservatives are fighting.
I’d rather fight a pitched battle against a Dem marxist with a small number of true liberty loving conservatives at my side then capitulate with a Rino’s dagger in my back.
Throughout the 1990s Jack Kemp, Jeb Bush, William Bennett, and other national Republicans were in California railing against California voters for passing Prop 187.. a perfect time for moles to move to take control of the Party.
I will likely register with the Constitution Party -- or as an independent
I spend a lot of time in California and know a lot of Republicans who live there, but there are obviously not enough to control statewide elections.
So....can we kick CA out of the United States?
Two types of governmental entities in Cal. Those who have declared bankruptcy and those who will.
Wait till next year when Tony Villar steps down as mayor of LA and every leftist north of Buena Park starts howling at the new mayor to fix the problems.
