That result looks very much like a partisan vote, with any Democrat grabbing that margin among Latinos. That’s an obstacle California Republicans didn’t have to face 10 or 15 years ago.

I see it as a step toward stability that we need to explain to the Social Democrats to stick to the rules,

Today’s Republican Party…is an insurgent outlier. It has become ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science; and dismissive of...
