A generation ago, the state was once a reliable win for the GOP in presidential elections. And in Orange County, largely white, conservative homeowners delivered winning margins for Republicans year after year.

The GOP in general and many rank-n-file continue to ignore or like to pretend that race/ ethnicity is not a factor.

In 1950 CA was approx. 90% non-Hispanic white today is somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% or less and decreasing rapidly as is the country.

Do you realize that without the California congressional delegation, Republicans would control the House?

This is well beyond politics.

Sodom will be destroyed by earthquake, fire, and tsunami.

The people of California who voted D will reap the consequences of their stubborn sin.

[The Grand Old Party is dead — partly because it has failed to separate itself from today’s toxic, national brand of Republican politics,” she wrote in a column on the website CALmatters. ]

Another never-Trumper

White, right leaning, suburban woman voted for Democrats this cycle.

You also had 40 retirements on the GOP side and a purposely inept establishment GOP led by Paul RINO.

It is interesting that the GOP is vanishing in CA at the same time it is basically going extinct in NY, where I grew up.

It’s certainly racial in part - only whites vote against their own interests, and there are fewer and fewer of them.

For starters, get rid of McCarthy as minority leader.

Illegal aliens: voting for the people Americans won’t.

We’re on our third generation of Americans educated by school systems targeted by leftists in the 1960s in order to achieve this very outcome. Today’s children’s parents made their way through the indoctrination centers, and unless they managed to maintain or obtain a degree of rationality, they are lost utterly. The children will be sacrificed voluntarily by their own parents.

Put an end to voter fraud, if did this the dems wouldn’t win another election except within their urban inner city strongholds.

"California GOP ponders way forward after stunning losses."

Stunning..? HA..! Folks, if we didn't see this coming then we are obviously deaf, dumb, blind and completely stupid too boot..

Oh, and by the way... It's going to get a LOT worse if, we the people, don't start defending our country..!

There is the problem. If we don’t take back our country from this invading scum we will never be great again.

Gee, maybe the CA GOP needs new leadership, one that takes responsibility for their losses instead of pointing fingers at everyone else.

Conservatism probably doesn't win every time it's tried, but that's a good place from which to craft a platform that's understood by the populace.

Based on what I've seen, the GOP message is milquetoast, thanks to their lies over the years. National GOP pretty much does the bidding of the Chamber of Commerce, in bringing in cheap labor for their constituents.

“”The congresswoman’s stunning defeat Thursday in the heart of Orange County, once a nationally known Republican stronghold, extended a Democratic rout that has seen five GOP-held House seats fall in the state, with another one threatened.””

My husband and I lived, worked and owned a business in OC for 45 years before retiring and getting out of the state and never ran into anyone who voted the demon-rat ticket. Can barely talk to some of our old neighbors/friends who have gone over to the dark side. Just don’t understand it so I don’t make the effort to call them anymore. There is no reasoning with them and no sense in continuing to try!

The way forward is via I-8, I-10, I-15, I-40 and I-80. Skip I-5...it just leads to commie-light.

The only way forward is a full audit of the election to expose the fraud.

Oregon is now California, with a Super-majority of Democrats in its legislature.

CA is a cancer on the nation. It’s government is tyranical and spends recklessly. There had to be tons of fraud and illegal aliens voting in elections. Because the census counts the number of people in district instead of citizens, CA is over-represented in the electoral college and the number of congressional districts.

But, CA is getting serious about its Calexit. It’s government is actually establishing diplomatic relationships with China and Russia out side the control of the Federal government. China has an outsized economic interest in Hollywood, CA real estate as well as western mineral resources.

Trump probably needs to seek a confrontation with CA. It’s a sanctuary state and they are thwarting US immigration law by allowing the nation to be overrun by illegals. Their Chinese connections are beyond troubling. It could come down to a CW with the U.S. occupying CA.

The white American Liberal is what is destroying and will continue to destroy America by divide and conquer and the spread of the Liberalism virus.
