The GOP gathered in California this weekend and of course Donald Trump is the focus of attention. There were protests outside and rhetoric inside that reminds one of 1994 when Pete Wilson helped push through Prop. 197 that prevented illegal immigrants from getting government services. The GOP won that battle but the activism that followed has led to decrease in Republican influence in California. While acknowledging that Trump is the likely nominee, the GOP leaders must fear that this will lead the party to even more irrelevance in the state after this November.
Trump, of course, keeps going on the attack on immigration while in California. He blames illegal immigrants on murders and rapes. He even say they are the cause of the drug epidemic. I am pretty sure that even if there was no illegals in the state, the Hollywood stars will be able to get their recreation drugs of choice! Prescription opioid abuse is rampant in this country but I know of no doctor or pharmacist who is an illegal immigrant. They certainly don't run the drug companies that sell the opioid without keeping track of them. Of course, Trump believes that Mexico will build a wall for him and that will keep out the illegals. If he is so versed in the drug trade, does he not realize that the drug cartels have been quite successful digging tunnels to bring in the drugs? I am sure they can build tunnels to bring in illegals and skirt whatever wall Trumps thinks he can build.

I didn't have much to comment on when I first read your post. I will say that I was a little surprised that Trump got as many votes as he did this week. My theory is that the more push back he gets, the more support he gets. It'll be an interesting November for sure.
ReplyDeleteYou can't trust the polls. I read last weekend that Clinton was ahead of Sanders in Indiana going into Tuesday, but he ended up winning. Even though she has it locked up pretty much, I'm interested to see what happens in California.
So we can assume it'll be Trump vs. Clinton, unless some crazy stuff happens. Who do you think will be the running mates? I can't imagine anyone who ran against him will run with him. I have no idea who Clinton will pick either. If she wins, could she appoint her husband as Secretary of State?
