2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOrange County is Trending Blue
A surge in Democratic voter registration has cut Republicans advantage in Orange County to less than 6 percentage points and has doubled the number of Democratic cities over the past year.
The Republican margin has been shrinking since 1990, when the GOP edge was 22 points. But in the past six months, the pace of change has been four times as fast as the 26-year average due in part to the GOPs controversial presidential nominee. That could hurt the local Republicans in Novembers down-ticket races.

Loretta Sanchez is running for Senate to replace Barbara Boxer. She will lose to the more progressive Kamala Harris this year. That's something. Change is happening.

(8,692 posts)We're running Sue Savary and Ron Varasteh against two of the weakest elected republicans in the country... again. Applegate who is running against Issa is better than the average placeholder, but a Democrat running on military service doesn't necessarily click and he isn't raising much money.
