Cali loves open borders! What the heck is going on?
Trump has infected Californians minds, it is clear they must be purified by taxes and unmonitored spending and handouts.
There's been a migration exchange of voters between California and other states like Colorado and Texas due to the way California manages their pension fund system. It looks like the left-wing liberal Democrat voters are being displaced by Conservatives from those states.
I've read other forums where the residents of Colorado and Texas complain about the Californians bring their bleeding heart liberalism along with them and wanting higher taxes, and turning the places they moved to right into the same mess that they have moved from.

I think a special counsel is required to see if the Russians helped Trump rig it so that two Democrats were not on the November ballot for every Califorinian district that voted this week.
The ONLY explanation is the Russians.

Looks like the California primary elections didn't quite produce the desired results that some were looking for.
The hopes of many "tickets" being one party are apparently gone.
Voters are to blame !! 😲
California breaks Democrats' hearts: 'Big, blue shutout' fails and other takeaways from Tuesday's primaries
Neither party managed to land any knockout blows in California Tuesday as voters went to the polls there and in seven other states to pick candidates who will face off in the Nov. 6 midterm elections, when control of the U.S. House and Senate will be up for grabs.
The fate of President Trump’s legislative priorities will hang in the balance in November. Right now Republicans control both the House and Senate, but a swing of just 23 seats would give Democrats a House majority. The GOP holds a narrow majority of 51 seats in the Senate, with Democrats controlling 47 seats and independents who caucus with Democrats holding two seats.
California, home to the nation’s largest congressional delegation with 39 Democrats and 14 Republicans, has a so-called “jungle primary.” All candidates initially competed on a single ballot Tuesday. The two who come out on top go on to the general election, regardless of political party. This makes it possible for two Democrats or two Republicans to face each other in November.
That means that in all seven -- yes, seven -- Republican-held California House seats that Hillary Clinton won in the the 2016 election, Democrats will have a candidate. That's a very big deal -- particularly when you consider that if Democrats can win five or six of these seats that amounts to one-quarter (or close) of the total of 23 seats they need to net to win back the majority in November.
Also, not for nothing: It appears as though Republicans will be shut out of Sen. Dianne Feinstein's re-election race -- as the incumbent led the field with almost 44% of the vote and state senator Kevin de Leon appears to have secured the second slot.

I'm curious how many ATS'ers left California, for one reason or another, and are glad they did, or at least wouldn't return.
I'm one of them....

I'll raise my hand to that one. Now to keep California out of Nevada.

Lemme ask all you people who got fed up and left California:
Why do you leave one place because it's f# up, then repeat the exact same mistakes in the places you move to and f# them up too?
The hell is wrong with you?

Not sure what you are celebrating here as the thing Dems were worried about prior to this primary is that the slew of Democratic contenders would thin out the votes and allow Republicans to only be represented in the general election. That didn't happen, so Dems are happy. Though I'm not surprised here. You try to spin all news as somehow detrimental to liberals/democrats.

Don't lump us all in there that left. I left CA, moved to NV and I embrace NV I have no desire to change it. I will fight tooth and nail against any who seek to change NV into CA.
