3. Virulently Republican in that area.

And not the pleasant types of Republicans at all. Low diversity area and therefore produces a lot of racists.

4. I am in Santa Clara County, South Bay, mostly Democratic here

5. I grew up in Siskiyou County (same demo as Shasta).

8. That's a beautiful scenic area

10. Beautiful to visit, not so great to live.

Once the logging industry was decimated, unemployment shot up and it was downhill from there.

11. I didn't think about that.

2. The poor have the right to vote, too.

Heh.

6. I don't think Redding is a hotbed of Sanders support

I've been up that way often to go hiking and camping in the Trinity Alps.

It is, uhm . . . . rural.

7. It is my understanding that

Redding is certainly Trump country. I don't believe he had any protestors, perhaps one if I'm remembering an article correctly, even attempt to go to his rally there.

9. Trump made a visit there.

One of our DUers went to laugh at him.

13. Many people think California is just LA and SF writ large.

I used to visit friends often in a little farm town in the Sacramento Valley, and the place was basically Mississippi with slightly better roads and an oppressed working class of a different color.

Inland California can be very, very right wing.

12. Republican Country. 50% Democratic turnout would probably be 10,000 people.
