Whenever libs are in charge of anything beware its gonna fold. Its gonna be a disaster.Calif. no exception but rather proving the incompetence of the hard left.
Oregon? Hahahah...after this last election...I’m more dejected than ever...but, I do think we have voting (more like registration) irregularities...and, those are contributing to election issues. It’s a perfect storm...Immigration, Education (woeful) system, and Voting issues...
Wallass interview with POTUS here for those that missed it.

Some gal from axios trying to claim that Mueller is a Republican just trying to do his job.(too late in the day to spit coffee) not the truth that he was owned first by 41 and later by Hillary and finally by zero and has been cabal/deep state forever.
Anything reported must fit the Democrat Party narrative.
Reporters must do what they are told to survive in the business. An objective, insightful report on the Caravan will not be tolerated.
There are some miserable, angry, hateful people in the media.
They want other people to get upset and emotional, just because they feel that way everyday. These people will try to ruin your day. The key is not to react and push ignore buttons.
What’s contributing to fraud and irregularities are modern democrat election laws such as motor voter, mail-in ballots, same-day voter registration, multi-day and early voting and provisional ballots.
And of course, throwing every roadblock and legal maneuvers at any type of good voter identification.
Since they now control the House, I don’t expect ANY changes through the next elections.
And the DUMBASS Republicans had a chance between 2016-2018—controlling all the Congress and executive branches, and most state houses, but were so afraid of being called racist, sexist, anti-immigrant and just plain old meanies by the drivebys they FAILED to implement a single piece of legislation to fix things.
In in the long run, we’ll all look back and see Paul Ryan as Speaker did far more damage to this Republic than Nancy Pelosi ever thought of.
Unless we reduce significantly the current cap of 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants annually and change the rules on birthright citizenship that confers citizenship on 300,000 anchor babies every year, it is over. The Dems will be the permanent majority party within a decade.
I can sympathize with many of the posts on this thread that are trying to come up with explanations as to why the electoral results are changing in favor of the Dems. I went thru a similar experience living in VA for 36 years and watching the state go from solid red to solid blue. Mass immigration changed the state coupled with domestic migration from the Northeast.
I was active in local VA politics being part of the county committee and attending VA state conventions. There was large scale denial of the impact of immigration. As the demography changed, outreach and better messaging were deemed the solutions. It was fruitless and futile. In many ways, one's politics are similar to one's religion. You usually inherit them from your parents and community. It takes generations to change. In the meantime, we get hundreds of thousands of future Dem voters coming into the country every year thru our immigration policies.
A number of years ago, I had a one-on-one briefing with Eric Cantor on the electoral impact of immigration. I asked him what the Dems would do if the immigrants were voting Rep instead of Dem. Would they allow them to come in under the current numbers? He laughed and said that they would never put up with it. I responded, "Why are the Republicans putting up with it?" No answer. The reality is that the corporate elites own both parties. They want an inexhaustible supply of cheap, exploitable labor. They could care less about the social costs and the damage to American workers.

2. Maine
Gone full RAT...Gov, ME House, ME Senate.
CD2 stolen by legal RAT-theft (rank choice voting) Republican incumbent won the first count by 2000 votes over the RAT.
Lawsuit pending.
The last time Oregon voted for a Rep for President was in 1984.
GOP congressional candidate Katie Arrington lost to newcomer Democrat Joe Cunningham in South Carolina’s coastal 1st District. This was considered a very safe red district. Somehow magically, more votes appeared for Cunningham at the very end.
SC GOPe are not interested in trying to get to the bottom of this loss. I actually had one GOP individual tell me “she was not an attractive candidate”.
I would add SC to the list of possible emerging purple states. More and more people are moving here from Red States and they are bringing their progressive politics with them.A New Yorker told me( when I was going door to door prior to the election) that “you have too many churches here”. A new NJ resident said she did not like being called “ma’am”....thought it was demeaning.
Interesting, I wonder how CA. will do in the Fourth Turning - the 80 or so year cycle of the Strauss-Howe generational theory
I think, looking back at U.S. History all we are seeing is the re-recurrence of the great emigration in the early 1900s. It took about twenty years to change the emigration policy. Trump is the First in this cycle to address this issue in a meaningful - possible actual way
YEP...my FIRST vote in OREGON...for Reagan!
President Trump was definitely the bigger man during the interview. Chris Wallace did not land a single agenda blow. Trump was truly the champ. Wallace was a defeated squirrel.
Think about it--Wallace asking Trump whether he would try to change the U.S. Constitution for a third presidential term is really acknowledging total defeat to Trump. Wallace had me in stitches LOL.
POW! BAM! THUD! Wallace was KO'd in the first round.
Once again history is repeating itself. The U.S. has had this in the past - Houey P. Long in La., Boss Hog in N.Y. , there are many such examples in Boston and Chicago as well.
At some point people get fed up or not, usually it takes an event like the Great Depression or WWII to refocus peoples attitudes.
So, we will be facing the possible equivalent of the Great Depression once again.
The Fed is raising Interest rates AND removing QE money, thus the prerequisite for the next Stock market crash is baked in.
2019 will be a very interesting year both financially and therefore politically
