Time For Repatriation?

Tomorrow's WaPo.

It's always better to take care of a developing problem early.

SACRAMENTO — For those who think California politics is on the far-left fringe of the national spectrum, stand by. The next election season, already well underway here, will showcase a younger generation of Democrats that is more liberal and personally invested in standing up to President Trump’s Washington than those leaving office.

Here in the self-labeled “state of resistance,” the political debate is being pushed further left without any sign of a Republican renaissance to serve as a check on spending and social policy ambitions. Even some Republicans are concerned about the departure of Gov. Jerry Brown (D), who proved to be fiscally cautious after inheriting a state seven years ago in deep recession.

The race to succeed him, as well as contests for U.S. Senate and statewide offices, probably will feature a November ballot exclusively filled with Democrats. The top two primary finishers compete in the state’s general election regardless of party, setting up several races between the Democrats’ left and even-more-left wings in the nation’s most-populous state, races that could signal the direction of the party’s future.

Think California politics is on the far-left fringe? Just wait for the next elections.

If Sanders runs in 2020 Trump will have his hands full you can take that to the bank....Hillary wont be around next time to screw him out of the nomination and we saw the crowds Sanders got. If he rallies the youth enough he could very well win in 2020 I kid you not.

Bernie Sanders is the new Ron Paul with much the same results.

California is going to be run by democrats right into the ground. As it is, we have an extremely low turn out rate. I vote in the primaries. Since the general election is normally two democrats running against one another, I have not voted in a state or local election in years. The election turn out in Los Angeles is generally around 16%. If there is a really important issue it might bump up to 20%.

Good for them, soon they can do so without my money, and hopefully Federal money.
