Why dont republicans just nominate someone from california every election? could it be turned into a swing state?

Why dont republicans just nominate someone from california every election? could it be turned into a swing state?

California Republican is an oxymoron

'no'

As a native californian I can only plead with you to nuke us, end our misery please!

Like New York was a swing state this year?
Learn to channel away your inner retard-ness

there's no republicans to recruit

There is no hope for California

Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger?

Too many spics in the South and fags in the North these days.
Arnold might be able to flip it but he can't run. It'd have to be a beloved actor like Reagan or Arnold to even have a chance.

CA is a lost cause.

When it becomes too liberal and expensive to live in, they just leave and vote in the same policies that made it shit everywhere else, see Portland

Ronald Reagan

Arnold once suggested closing the border and fags flipped out about it so hard he had to back off of that position.

A democrat who pretends to be a Republican

That faggot signed a bill that would make handgun ammo be subject to background checks.

Hes no Republican.

california and oregon have had over 30% of new jobs

Upper California was pretty red but the larger cities are what turn the state blue. There are republicans in California but they're drowned out in the sea of liberals in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Oakland

That's a lot of Baristas

>california is prosperous
>let's do the opposite of california
>hey kansas looks good

California being successful has nothing to do with their government.

Their success is in spite of it.

Los Angeles requires 500 million in annual federal funding just to stay solevant.

>Texas

California contributes vastly more to the federal government than it receives from it

liek dood why dont we jus nt be a demoocray man

Did New York become a swing state? Fucking think before posting.

Then why can't we pay our 26 billion dollar debt?

He's the root cause of the demographic mess we're in right now.

have you taken any business courses, ever?

Yes the residents of california pay more income tax than everybody else simply because of the number of people who live there.

The state itself has extremely high taxes on pretty much everything and still has trouble paying its own bills.

The tax rate has been pushing businesses out of state to Texas, Washington, and Oregon.

false

Maybe in like 20 years a catholic/Hispanic conservative. Spics aren't as liberal as you'd think.

Even Elon Musk built his new Tesla factory in Nevada because California's taxes would have killed it.

and it's only Californians who make enough to buy them, we don't need low paying Tesla factory jobs

If that logic was good Trump would've won New York.

It's only a factor in states that don't already have a name for themselves.

California is propped up almost entirely by illegal immigrant labor. They work for well under minimum wage and pay no taxes on any of it.

California is scared shitless that Trump will come in and deport their precious illegals because it means their economy will collapse completely.

What a fucking shithole. So glad I left.

Too many beans and degenerates

yeah that labor is for crops, crops you eat

have fun starving

Oh no we're not going to have salad and avacados. Red states have the staples covered.

Dairy.

yeah with what labor?

how the fuck is that not republican. I want my handgun ammo to be safe from the sands of mentally retarded faggots that give gun owners a bad rep

he's fallen for the NRA meme, I'm for gun rights but the NRA is legitimately insane

Yeah. That's how it works.

Just when do you suppose you will grow out of your simplistic tribal view of human interaction?

What content in my post said that I support the NRA?

>pick someone popular and non vulgar
>everyones like "wow that guy everyone loves is actually a republican. hurr duur guess they aint so bad after all"
there you fucking go

the guy you responded to fell for the meme

As a native californian lets build a wall around california and the rest of the country could go fuck itself.

Neither blacks, nor hispanics, or Democrats are liberal. They just pander to liberals.

Why didnt they ever nominate him?

Romney was like the nicest guy ever. Democrats still ran their campaign focused primarily on the fact that he was literally the devil.

Wisconsin

they didnt try hard enough to change the rules, Arnie would have been a great prez

Are you serious nigger they harvest all that shit with huge ass tractors. 2 dudes pull in so much fucking corn and soybeans it would make your head spin.

Wisconsin went red. We're good.

you should visit a farm and ask about their labor costs

California is only prosperous because of the weather. It's like Hawaii.

Mah dood they have tractors now that will harvest your shit using GPS waypoints. You don't even need to be in the motherfucker.

Goddamn you Californians are farming in the stone age.

if texas doesnt make electors vote according to the popular vote, how come all the electors always go to one candidate or the other? you mean to tell me there isnt a single democratic elector in texas?

visit a farm.

those things cost 10s of millions of dollars and require tons of land to be cost effective

electors are chosen by the party

is there not a democratic party in texas?

So you want people working horrible sub-human conditions for sub minimum wages that are only eaten back up by various on-farm "stores?"

They're not nearly that expensive and they make kits to retrofit older tractors.

they wait in the wings in case their candidate wins

you sound like a californian

>yeah with what labor?

people on welfare
teenages

wait in the wings? what do you mean? why doesnt the democratic party in texas grab an elector who is a democrat who will cast his elector vote against the republicans vote? why does it always seem like all of the electors are either dem or repub? its literally always a (number of maximum possible electoral votes)- to zero

the electors sent to cast votes are from the party that won

Texas has 38 electoral votes. If the Republicans win, the Republican party's 38 electors from Texas vote for the president.

If the Democrat party won, their 38 electors would represent Texas instead.

The Republican party is not sending electors who are going to vote democrat.

Theres a different set of electors for each party

If repubs win, they send repub electors

That's why this "I trust them to do the right thing come December 19th ;)" thing
is hilarious

BECAUSE THEY CAN AFFORD TO HAVE THAT DEBT YOU FUCKING TWAT ZIKA HEADED MONGOLOID
HOLY SHIT GO SIGN UP FOR SOME FEDERAL GRANTS FOR A COUPLE COMMUNITY COLLEGE CLASSES

he was an elitist faggot desu

but who decides if the republicans or democrats win? texas is literally exempt from the law that says the electoral vote must coincide with the popular vote, so what is deciding if the democrats or republicans electoral votes go?

oh. RIP my reading comprehension

The popular vote in that state.

texas is not in the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, there is nothing binding their popular vote to their electoral college vote

Technically one of the republican electors could choose not to vote for Trump but why would they? They are people that like Trump. The electors weren't chosen until election day and you choose them by voting. The Democrat electors are different from the republican electors and the republican electors won Texas.

what are you even on about now, how does the compact relate?

the compact requires the popular vote to decide the electoral vote

thusly, states with out this do not have their electoral college votes influenced by the popular vote

am i wrong? if the popular vote decides the electoral college vite anyway, than what would be the point of that pact?

Yeah, so theres nothing legally binding their republican electors to vote republican, but their electors are chosen the same way.

On election day. By popular vote. And their state voted republican, so republicans get sent.

While he certainly didn't help it that problem goes back to Johnson.

He got throat cancer in 1996. He was running and was the early favorite to take on Bill Clinton in 1995. But he destroyed the Cal GOP by turning it against latinos in his re-election bid in 1994--backed a proposition that cut off services to illegals. Stupid. Whites don't breed in CA and Wilson potentially had a new army of religiously conservative, patriarchal, and often hard working (not all--but many) breeding machines.

Instead he played to the 58 year old white Chet and Barbs whose kids were gay and didn't have any kids. They didn't like all that spanish talk--so Wilson made them happy and delivered the latinos into the hands of the Dems. He adopts the latinos and the GOP never loses the WhiteHouse. Now forget it....

how is the compact relevant at all? the state has already decided the winner of its statewide popular vote gets all the electoral votes it has to offer

What about a Californian user? I would send all the Niggers back to Africa, deny women the right to vote, initiate a eugenics program, and make Japan the 51st state and anime real.

It's mostly a formality just in case someone decides to be faithless. The way it works is that the electors, the people who actually decide who the president is, are not officially known until election day. When you vote in the election on election day you vote for the group of people that will vote and all of those people come from either the republican or the democrat party. So the chances of some random hipster millennial convincing a republican elector to change their vote is very slim.

why need people at all then? if the popular vote always decides which party gets the electoral vites, why do you need people and risk having one of them be faithless?

From 1948 until 1984 the GOP had a Californian on their national ticket as President or Vice President every year but 1964 & 76 (Earl WarrenVP, Nixon VPx2, Nixon Pres x3, Reagan x2.)

Pete Wilson destroyed GOP in California. Drove latinos to the Dems beginning in 1994. Since him, no real statewide GOP winners Arnold was not real Republican. So no GOP Californian can be considered for national ticket.

The only hope for California are the following:

1) Remove illegals/enforce voter ID
2) Have a well-liked celebrity as candidate (see: Arnold)
3) Repeal Proposition 14 (2010, created "top two" primary system)
4) Meme magic

#3 is the biggest reason why the Republican Party is effectively dead. It already was dying due to the cluelessness of the party and the fact that most of them are either just batshit Bible folks or out of touch rich globalists. However Prop 14 means that only the top-two candidates in a primary will go to the general election and that usually means a Democrat faces a Democrat.

With this in mind, all is not lost.

In New York City you often hear about how Giuliani is a Democrat who ran as a Republican. This is true, but for a different reason--Democrats had their nominee and Giuliani ran as a Republican because it was essentially a free slot. He lost but they ran his again and he won.

With California you need to either have a Republican/conservative/libertarian/etc run as a Democrat because, fuck it, why not--OR, have a Democrat who is similar to Jim Webb in that they're basically pro working class and not anti white. It's much much easier if the person was a Democrat for most of their life.

Push enough in the primary for a second place win.

The general election is where this candidate needs to do EVERYTHING to get people to recognize their name and pain the main party-endorsed Democrat as corrupt, globalist, anti-worker, out of touch, etc. The few conservative-leaning folks in CA will definitely vote for this person, but this person needs to convince a good amount of the varied Dem voter blocks in CA, such as millennials, union workers, etc.

Meme magic, if you believe in Kek, helps but even if you don't believe in that, memeing does at least create awareness.

After election, this candidate can switch parties and say that the Democrats "refuse to support" their "anti elitist policies" or even go "Independent."

...

Because it says so in the constitution and that can only be changed with an amendment. It does say that the states can decide how to pick the electors but the constitution says there must be electors so there must be.

Thats now how this works.
