Glad the Trumper lost. Huge win for California and for the United States. Not that it was ever close.
This particular Republican did maybe five points worse than the average Republican.
Thank Trump for that.

Steve Hilton didn't have a chance in hell of winning the election.

Spencer Pratt should have run for governor instead of mayor of Los Angeles. He would have preformed better.

But overall, California failed. There were some measures on the ballot billionaires spent half a billion on defeating and they succeeded.
