    No doubt that the next governor after Newsom will be Democratic. California has had some competent Republican governors who raised taxes when necessary/ supported strong environmental legislation/ pragmatic & secular. But that kind of Republican is dead now under Trump and why Republicans are in deep doo doo.

    Why dont you tell us how many state legislatures are majority Dem.

    But youre right... political alignment of govs means nothing. Just like Hillary winning the popular vote meant nothing.

    Pretty sure OP is off searching for an answer to my question. Heres a map from Jan 2018. Maybe he can just color in the states that turned blue by electing a majority in their state legislature.

    But most states still have a Republican governor.

    Still searching, OP? Or do you concede that electing a Dem gov in a state where the legislature is majority Rep actually means very little?

    There are many ex-Republicans in California who no longer recognize the GOP. The kind of Californian that elected many Republican governors in the past now wonder if they can ever vote for a Republican and that applies to every elected politician. This past election showed that there is a purge of all Republicans here due to the intense hate of Trump. This is a very serious problem that will be repeated in 2020 unless the GOP join Dems in impeaching Trump.

    Of-course, for a bitter Republican California represents daily ridicule/ shaming. How do you handle TV programing?

    Was California "a great place" when Reagan was governor? And why is Reagan unelectable for Republicans today? If you can answer these questions, please do.

    Honestly, about 12 years ago, not counting the population that was born from undocumented parents, about half of the voting population in the state was Conservative and the other half Progressive. But the Hispanic vote permanently tipped the balance in one direction, and probably half of that was coming from Los Angeles County, which has a bigger population within its boundaries than most entire states.

    People move and demographics change, also eventually the advantaged side gets arrogant and starts running child molesters and suchlike.

    Yeah I was super confused by this thread.....

    There are still more Reps than Dems

    So is this thread a lie?

    Acting like this was a “wave” is ridiculous

    The amount of seats picked up was right in the middle of the average. Actually, If you consider the sheer number of seats Reps heals already it was even less of a wave

    More propaganda to be fed from the MSM

    Ah I see the play on words now (basically a propaganda lie)

    “The most Americans....”

    As in, the 23 states with Dem govroners have a higher population than the 27 Rep states.

    Lol, more twist on words because the truth doesn’t forward the agenda

    It’s from a Progressive article out

    They’re lying and using the number of people to spread the false meme

    The majority if states are still governed by Republicans, actually, at 23-27, Reps still hold a ~20% lead.

    But yeah, lame propaganda price is from the internet.

    Sez you

    Liberals may think you have all the answers but you dont

    Reagan would be as popular outside of california today as he was in 1980

    But he could not be elected governor of that hotbed of marxism soon to be renamed Azltan

    You...think it is a propaganda lie to claim that there are more people living in 23 states than there are people living in the other 27?

    ROFL
