Admittedly, no Republican can get elected statewide in California anymore, but nor can what we think of as, nationally, the Democratic Party.

The Democrats have lost a thousand electoral seats in America in midterm elections, 2010, 2014. The people of this country are clearly willing to vote against Democrats. They are clearly willing to vote for Republicans. But when you get to the presidential election, it better be somebody that's not just part of the establishment. That's the message, and that's what they're not getting.

They're angry with the voters, how dare you vote in a Republican president, Donald Trump, a Republican Senate, a Republican House.

Stop seeing socialists and anti-Americans as Democrats.
