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 of its own coming down the road. We don't want to be politically tied up with California's issues and the issues of child adults (chidults) and see billions taken away from our schools and roads . 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 pot and all the groovy people associated with its use? What about them? Can we afford to loose/ cut bait with them? Have you ever seen the movie Fast Times At Ridgemont High thirty years after you saw it in a movie theater and noticed all the values that were portrayed as being in play that no longer mattered to you? 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?
