Right now, she see's way to much BS associated with teaching and with the school in general to seriously consider it as a career choice. I know that teaching is in her genes. Her grand mother's side was loaded with teachers and college professors as well as successful entrepreneurs of various types.

It's December 1, do you know where your horses are? Hint, said horse left the barn on Nov, 9.

California has a tad of only a bit above 37,000,000 folks. Some of that is of course too young to vote. If you're counting the resident zombies, then yes, the 100 million votes would work.
the Dems need to realize that they need to quit pandering to the concerns of Left Coast folks like Eric (like gun control) because right now pandering to the Rust Belt is the far more important concern due to the Electoral College. As X_MOX mentioned elsewhere, the Dems lost because of essentially 100,000 voters in the Rust Belt, those 2.5 million people in California essentially don't matter.
Pandering isn't going to work. It's going to take a lot more than pandering at this point. People are tired of all the pandering going on with the left. The people are looking for results. As far as California, who cares about California or what Californians think of middle America. California has/will have major issues of its own that aren't/isn't being adequately addressed. My brother left the F'd up state of California several years ago. My brother is the type who moves ahead of the pack. California has major issues coming done the road. We don't want to be politically tied up with California's issues and the issues of child adults (chidults). What about Disney land? What about Hollywood and all its movie stars? What about the hot chicks who wear skimpy bikini's that we see on its beaches? What about its pot and all the groovy people associated with its use? Have you ever seen the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High and see all the values that were portrayed? The Democrats lost 100,000 voters who won't be coming back and stand to loose 100,000's more who weren't sure about Trump as a leader. How many Democratic Senate seats are coming up soon?
California? That's where most of your movies come from. That's where the initial innovation in computer chips comes from.
But start censoring the movies for political content and much of the American film industry will relocate to some place that respects freedom of thought. Make America the sort of country where a software engineer can make a spectacular living but his kids can expect an education suitable only as preparation to be a farm laborer or retail clerk... and those software engineers will stay in China, India, or South Korea. Silicon Valley would become another Detroit with relics of a bygone era of prosperity.
As for 'childults' -- our incoming President is a prime example.
