What Happened To California Republicans?

Townhall.com has an interesting article, "What happened to California Republicans?"

There's a number of things that led to the demise of the California GOP and the state is becoming more of a sh*thole daily. A wacky primary/general election system is one example. The flood of illegal aliens. The exodus of conservative voters. Incompetent state GOP leadership. Law & order is almost gone. These and other factors led to a one-party dictatorship of left-wing liberal Democrats.

Here's a snippet from the article:

As taxes climbed, schools eroded and funds for infrastructure were diverted elsewhere, millions of middle-class Californians fled. The total numbers of this continuing exodus are still in dispute. Many left in despair over climbing gas, sales and income taxes that seemed to worsen rather improve state infrastructure and services.

This tripartite demographic revolution proved disastrous for the Republican Party. The GOP lost much of its base to other states. Many conservative voters left for small-government, low-tax alternatives. Republican efforts to reduce taxes, limit some abortions and fund additional roads and dams had little appeal to the new gentry classes on the coast. 

Will there ever again be a viable California Republican Party? 

After three decades of radical progressivism, California residents are tiring of one-party straitjacket rule. The hard-liberal order normalized massive power blackouts, the nation's highest array of taxes, the forest mismanagement that fuels deadly fires, an epidemic of homelessness in major cities, eroding schools, ossified infrastructure and soaring energy costs.

That's why I left. California has become Commiefornia.
