A sad day for Orange County.

Republicans lose a fifth House seat in California as Democrat Katie Porter ousts Rep. Mimi Walters - Los Angeles Times

In another blow to California Republicans reeling from defeats in the Nov. 6 election, Democrat Katie Porter has ousted GOP Rep. Mimi Walters in an upscale Orange County congressional district that was a longtime conservative bastion.

At the same time, the updated vote count Thursday by the Orange County registrar of voters had Democratic House candidate Gil Cisneros pulling 941 votes ahead of Republican Young Kim in an adjacent congressional district.

Porter is extremely liberal too. I just dosn't seem possible that OC flipped that hard. I'm even living behind enemy lines in my hometown N OC. Sad day Indeed

“Orange County,” the California collection of 34 cities and 3.2 million residents once described by President Reagan as where “all the good Republicans go to die,” died Tuesday. It was 129 years old.

The death shocked everyone who hadn’t bothered to pay attention for decades. County boosters and leaders had desperately tried to mask its failing health with a series of anti-immigrant resolutions, orange-shaped balloons at Great Park, and a string of increasingly vapid reality TV series. But as the years went on, the Orange County of old gradually succumbed to a new generation of working-class unions, multicultural youngsters and middle-class voters who just didn’t care about demonizing the downtrodden, except for the homeless.

An obituary for old Orange County, dead at age 129

I guess the motto, free stuff for everybody, really resonated with the voters. The only problem is...

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS FREE, SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR IT.

She campaigned very hard in my local college, lots of flyers to come and see her talk, where I saw nothing from Mimi Walters. A lot of Chinese people asked me about her flyer. I’m sure she managed to confused some. But maybe Mimi Walters took it for granted. While I’ve got 3 voicemails from Trump, Gingrich, and Pete Wilson about voting for Mimi Walters. It’s a waste on me, I never voted for any Democrat.

How else should we create unity? ... other than by demonizing and destroying?

When they want to take what I've worked for and give it to somebody else? When they want to let people jump the line to become U.S.citizens?

YES !!

Yes she was relentless. I got 5 flyers in the mail everyday from her. All saying she's going to battle Trump and loves abortions. Made me nauseous.
