LOS ANGELES (AP) — Democrat Katie Porter captured a Republican-held U.S. House seat Thursday in the heart of what once was Southern California's Reagan country, extending a rout of the state's GOP House delegation that might not be over.
Porter's upset in Orange County is a sign of changing times in a region once known nationally as a GOP fortress. The coastal county southeast of Los Angeles was home to President Richard Nixon, and President Ronald Reagan once likened it to a Republican heaven.
Payback is hell after all of the Republican California reps voted for the tax cut bill that reduced the tax deductions for property tax. The R’s lost 4 seats in New Jersey, 3 in New York, and up to 6 in California.

All states with high property taxes.
That was the dumbest thing I ever heard of. They should have been jumping up and down and screaming on behalf of their constituents.
Nationally the Democritters did worse than expected. In 1994 after the Dems won the WH and both houses of Congress in '92, the Reps flipped both houses of Congress. Same in 2010. This year, with Trump as supposedly unpopular as he is the Dems could only flip the house. Pretty weak.
Congrats I am sure you look forward to one party rule in the U.S.A when those pesky Republicans will no longer be able intervene from creating utopia.
Well, that's not my problem, that's a problem for the Republicans. They can help themselves by supporting an agenda that a majority of Californians will support and running candidates that will listen to the electorate. It's not rocket science.

In other words be liberal progressive also. Anyway it will be interesting to see how one party rule by liberal Democrats turns out over the next 10 to 20 years.

The blue wave was pretty much a ripple.
The Senate map was very difficult for the Democrats this year. The 3td biggest House gain since Watergate is a wave.
