Nevada County, where Grass Valley and Nevada City are located, is the one north-eastern California county that went for Hillary. I'm afraid that many here are as liberal as they are in S.F. Bay Area

My Prediction for the new Age of Trump.
1. In the next election the next governor of California will be a Republican —and a woman.
2. New Factories will be built in California to build cars and tractors.
3. California will become a Purple State in 2020. and elect a GOP Senator in 2018.
4. Hollywood will comeback with more tax cuts for film makers.
5. The present Governor will face down Trump—and lose.
6. The high speed train LA to SF will be built as will the LA Las Vegas Train and the SF to Reno bullet train.

There is only one thing in this article I would dispute: I can't believe the California DMV was ever a model of efficiency. When I was a kid (1950s-60s) every one dreaded going there. My parents belonged to AAA primarily because at that time (I don't know about now) they could go there to take care of car registration and other routine matters and avoid going to the DMV.

In feral California, we suffer not just from too many and too few applications of the law, but from the unequal enforcement of it.
In California, the neglect of the felony requires the rigid prosecution of the misdemeanor.

He touched in detail on that last sentence (nice phrasing) in his "Mexifornia" book.

I can't believe the California DMV was ever a model of efficiency.

Once I figured out that making a sixty mile round trip to a rural DMV could actually save me time, not to mention aggravation, I never went back to a big urban California DMV. The small rural DMVs I went to were all efficient.

The big urban California DMVs were good at only one thing: Instilling a proper contempt for government. Rudest, least efficient employees ever.

he is a great man.

I think so too. I'd like to meet him.
