The California Republican Partys decision to invite right-wing provocateur and former presidential advisor Stephen Bannon to address its convention Friday created an unsettled concoction of excitement, dread and rubbernecking curiosity for GOP loyalists in the state, the Los Angeles Times reports.
Bannon will appear before a California GOP desperate to reverse its deteriorating influence in a state where it has been losing members and where Republican victories in statewide political races have been nonexistent for a decade. His admirers hope his speech will invigorate the GOP base and lure Trump supporters outside of the party into its fold. But Republican critics worry hell undercut efforts to rekindle the party in a state where Trump and his policies remain widely unpopular.

(4,429 posts)I hope tidbits from Bannon's speech will headline every nightly news show in every county in California (oh, and all of her neighboring states).
The GOP owns this show. Wear the albatross proudly!
