Robert Reich: California is Trumplands nemesis

California is Trumpland’s nemesis
"At the one end of the scale are Kansas and Texas, with among the nation’s lowest taxes, least regulations and lowest wages.
At the other end is California, with among the nation’s highest taxes, especially on the wealthy; toughest regulations, particularly when it comes to the environment; most ambitious health care system, that insures more than 12 million poor Californians, in partnership with Medicaid; and high wages.
So according to conservative doctrine, Kansas and Texas ought to be booming, and California ought to be in the pits.
Actually, it’s just the opposite."

Wouldn't be surprised if parts of Mexico and even British Columbia wanted to
join in.

The Blue East is strong in their resolve. They could make it happen, also.

It would be a different looking map, for sure.

and BLUE STATES we already have a vital Brand and reputation throughout the World that
will keep our economies strong and then stronger yet.

All we have to do is present and when needed we can contrast with the others.

BLUE STATERS: Let's be ambassadors for what we know is the best
of US.

to live in the "Peoples Republic" of California.
If there is one State in the union that will resist the "Trumpification"
of America, California is it.
