EXTINCTION WATCH: California Republicans in Ruin

The passage of Proposition 50 by a “stunning 64 to 35 percent margin” has left California Republicans staring down the consequences of their own actions: a California GOP in utter ruin.

This week, POLITICO delivered another blow, reporting that California Republicans are on “the brink of extinction” and “fighting each other for scraps.” Their own party insiders described the feeling on the ground as “demoralized,” “massacred,” and “obliterat[ed],” as vulnerable incumbents sprint to the right and party operatives point fingers.

This comes after outlets reported just last month that Republican lawmakers across the state were increasingly irrelevant,” “on the run,” and in a fight for their political lives.” 

Tough. 

Read the devastating coverage for yourself:

DCCC Spokesperson Anna Elsasser
“California Republicans have no one to blame but themselves for the electoral blowout coming their way next year. Their records harming Californians are finally catching up with them, and voters are done paying the price.”
