Yes, Democrats dominate California. And Republicans dominate Wyoming. Congratulations.

As long as the Republican party is driven by ignorance, bigotry, a sick love of theocracy, and staggering double-standards and denial of basic facts, they will make no inroads into many states in this nation. Angry old men screaming into the darkness about their lost privilege won't be enough to save that wreck of a party.
That’s because you don’t have much of an attention span. The question is has California become so one sided and unreasonable that the are irrelevant? The Republicans don’t need California and the Dems take it for granted.

Guess again.

The Republican tax bill got worse: now the top 1% gets 83% of the gains
In its last year, the bill raises taxes on more than 53 percent of Americans.

Trump's tax bill was passed to please his buddies at Mar-a-Lago. And if one thinks Republicans are popular in California, take a look at the count. Out of 53 Representatives, only 14 are Republican and let's see how many are left after the midterms.

The only reason for any candidate to a national election to visit Cali is go there to request donations.

Irrelevant in what way? Fifty-five electoral votes makes the state pretty significant.

But, until then, places like CA, NY, NJ, MA, CT, MD, VA, WA, OR are lost forever. Kick the Crazy out, Reps, and people like me will consider voting Rep again. Reagan's message, not that of Trump, or the rich states are lost forever.
Then let them keep voting democrat and see more people flee because housing is unaffordable and taxes are too high

Electing Republicans is not going to solve the California housing crisis.

Republicans still haven't figured that out yet. A house in West Virginia is cheap and that's because so few want it the people are abandoning their homes.
