Ann Coulter warns California Republicans the nation could turn into California

[Zorro]

Conservative author and TV personality Ann Coulter warned California Republicans on Wednesday that the nation could become like California if Donald Trump is not elected president in the fall.

“Trump’s slogan is make America great again. Hillary’s slogan is make America California without the nice beaches, without the good stuff,” Ann Coulter told the state’s delegates at a breakfast meeting.

“You’re always ahead of the curve," Coulter said. "You sent us two of our greatest presidents, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. And now a Republican can’t get elected statewide in California. That is because of immigration. This is why Trump’s campaign is absolutely crucial.”

Coulter, who was applauded by the Californians, contended the influx of immigrants over the past four decades had given Democrats an edge, and that the Republican establishment betrayed its base of supporters on immigration and trade issues.

Turn the rest of the nation into California? And that's a bad thing?

1. How about the nation could be Kansas or California

I'll take higher taxes every day of the week

2. And that's a bad thing because...?

I love California. Why didn't I move here sooner? DC was OK, in that there weren't many republicans there, either; but SF is just fantastic.

3. Does she mean that with more fracking

the rest of the continental U.S. could have major earthquakes?

4. Let's see - fiscally responsible government

currently with a surplus (yeah, we do have high taxes - many of them voted in by the electorate), highly diverse population, great state parks system, a Coastal Commission that keeps access to the ocean open for the public instead of rich guys, consecutive secs. of state that made voting more accessible and accountable - what's the problem? Oh, yeah, it is expensive, but we have a working state government now that we got some of the GOP deadwood out.
