Will Trump Supporters Save the Republican Party in California?

Editorial

 

 

By Stephen Frank

In the past four years, in raw number the Republican Party in California lost 300,000 registered voters—even with “all” the registration done, the net loss is 300,000.  As of October 24, 2016, the GOP has 26% of voters register and Decline to State has 24.4%.  By this time next year it will be reversed.  On November 8 three more GOP’ers lost Assembly seats, probably one GOP Senate seat was lost, and no congressional seats were lost—and the GOP did not win a single Democrat seat.  The GOP leadership is saying, “it could have been worse”?  Worse than what?  They are applauding themselves for not having a total meltdown.

Instead they are blaming “demographics”, Trump on the ballot, lack of money, anything but the lack of will to stand up to Democrats, the losers voting like Democrats on some key policy issues, instead one loser had voted with the unions 65% and wonders why the GOP voters in the District said no.  Literally some county GOP Committee refused to promote the ONLY Republican nominee on the ballot in California Donald Trump.  The others claiming to be Republicans only noted their “preferred” Party was Republican.

Trump supporters made it clear—they stood for something, not just election.  Maybe they will give the backbone to the remaining GOP legislators—and the “leadership” that brought us to this point.

I can think of at least two, maybe three, local republican candidates that received little to NO support from their local republican headquarters. Needless to say, they lost to inferior, but well supported, democrat candidates.
