I'm saying they are not opposed to population growth, so I'm confused as why you consider them ultra-right since they just seem like old school pre-Trump Republicans.

• Thinks abortion should be banned
• Is one of the founding members of the ultra right Club for Growth
• He is anti-gay rights has equated it to bestiality
• Claimed that school choice avoids transvestite teachers
• Support domestic drilling; oppose Kyoto Treaty.
• Opposes mandated health insurance and universal coverage
• Opposes minimum wage; let free market set wages.

This is why Cox is a good choice for Governor of California.

No, I love her. But, the presidential election was 2 years ago. So, why can't you distance yourself from her?

It's pretty hard to blame Clinton for anything that has happened in America since Trump was elected - at least, not by anyone with any kind of brain in their head.

Anything that's gone wrong since the election is Trump's responsibility. Hello.

He's happy to take credit for anything that was the by-product of Obama's presidency, but quick to blame any problems on the person he ran against in 2016, who has zero power in his administration. That's just so obviously nuts that anyone on either side of the aisle should be able to appreciate it.

The interior rightly complains about taxation without representation, excessive taxation, no say in elections, ad nausem. They are the ones that want 'out' from CA.


The Coast meanwhile loves to mock, ridicule, and just show overall disdain and derision for the Interior-apparently just for the sheer sadistic pleasure of it. Not a day goes by where they don't remind the Central Valley about "how culturally, intellectually, economically, and socially inferior they are" and how "they are a drag, stain, and abscess on the beautiful great state of California".

Maybe overall but definitely not so black and white. I'm from a small farming town in the central valley. My entire family and the majority of my friends vote blue. Just checked and 40 percent of my county voted for Clinton. Not saying the area isn't more conservative, just that it's still relatively split. At least in that election it was.

Edit: Just checked in Kern County (which includes Bakersfield and a lot of rural places) and it was 40 percent for Clinton there, too. California seems to be pretty divided all over the place really.

Well said. People misunderstand how Californian voters vote. The entire state isn't blue. Just like they don't have a real understanding of the population of the state, and how the vast majority of the state is actually very sparsely populated. They seem to think the entire state is a sprawling L.A. or S.F. suburbia.

The upside to this, is that for us Californians, it's pretty easy to spot the trolls - because they don't understand the real dynamics, geographic diversity, etc., of this state.

That is ridiculous. Obama never accomplished anything positive. All he did was set race relations back 50 years, and tried to destroy the country. Clinton is a lying criminal.

No, what he did is reveal that what "died" (racism) is still a huge issue and to be honest, affects us all because it literally takes money to continue the systematic racism. The only people trying to destroy the country are White Supremacist.

I was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. I left two years ago and I could go on and on about this topic because I received a great education in regards to Civil Rights and African-American History.

That's enough for me to vote against him right there.
