— Trump administration defends its case against CNN’s Jim Acosta – AP (DIERSEN: Should I sue? Should I sue all those activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, etc. who claim to be religious, conservative, and/or Republican who have had their operatives bar me from their press conferences, who have had their operatives threaten me at their press conferences, and who have had their operatives throw me out of their press conferences? If I sued them, what would say that I am guilty of? To demonize me, to denigrate me, and to condemn me as being illegitimate, would they stress a) that no one pays me for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor, b) that I send GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails out free of charge and without any advertising, c) that the emails do not have any pictures, d) that I do not have a degree in journalism, e) that I do not pretend to be nonpartisan, f) that I refuse to be one of their operatives or dupes, and/or g) that so few come to my defense? Would they paint me as being a clone of Jeff Gannon? SEE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talon_News)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-cnn-jim-acosta-white-house-ban-20181115-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: On Wednesday, Justice Department lawyer James Burnham argued that Acosta was guilty of “inappropriate grandstanding” and deserved to lose his access over “his refusal to comply with the general standards of a press conference.” Burnham also pointed out that CNN has dozens of other staffers with White House credentials, so excluding Acosta would not harm the network’s coverage. The network’s lawyer, Theodore Boutrous, contended that Acosta was being singled out for his body of work, not his alleged rudeness during a press conference. “The White House has made very clear that they don’t like the content of the reporting by CNN and Jim Acosta,” Boutrous said. “Rudeness really is a code word for ‘I don’t like you being an aggressive reporter.'” Prior to Wednesday’s hearing, the White House had maintained that it has “broad discretion” to regulate press access to the White House. A pre-hearing legal filing argued, “The President and his designees in the White House Press Office have exercised their discretion not to engage with him and, by extension, to no longer grant him on-demand access to the White House complex so that he can attempt to interact with the President or White House officials.” Trump himself, in an interview published Wednesday, was uncertain how the court fight would end, saying: “We’ll see how the court rules. Is it freedom of the press when somebody comes in and starts screaming questions and won’t sit down?” Trump told The Daily Caller that “guys like Acosta” were “bad for the country. … He’s just an average guy who’s a grandstander who’s got the guts to stand up and shout.” The White House’s explanations for why it seized Acosta’s credentials have shifted over the last week. Sanders initially explained the decision by accusing Acosta of making improper physical contact with the intern seeking to grab the microphone. But that rationale disappeared after witnesses backed Acosta’s account that he was just trying to keep the mic, and Sanders distributed a doctored video that made it appear Acosta was more aggressive than he actually was. On Tuesday, Sanders accused Acosta of being unprofessional by trying to dominate the questioning at the news conference. Both Sanders and Trump are named as defendants in the CNN suit, along with Chief of Staff John Kelly and Randolph Alles, director of the Secret Service.)

A leaked campaign video revealed she was already planning on running for Mayor. Now Mendoza says she’s concerned about high taxes, but she spent a decade in Springfield working with Mike Madigan to raise taxes on hardworking, middle-class families. The last thing the City of Chicago needs is another self-serving politician like Suzana Mendoza.” – ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Illinois Democrats’ takeover of every level of government has the Illinois Republican Party is taking stock on how to shift gears. The way Pat Brady sees it, the Illinois GOP needs an “autopsy” similar to what the national GOP underwent in 2012 when Mitt Romney lost to President Barack Obama. “We need to get back to the party of Reagan, a party that appeals to a broad spectrum,” he told POLITICO. That would mean having to pull back from the politics of Dick Uihlein, the business magnate who supported conservatives across the country during this past election season, including Alabama Republican U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore—who was accused of sexually assaulting teens when he was in his 30s. Uihlein lives in Wisconsin but has been an influence on GOP politics in Illinois, funneling $8.5 million to the Liberty Principles PAC and to conservative gubernatorial candidate Jeanne Ives (who lost to Bruce Rauner in the primary). Brady and others say the Illinois GOP would do better to stop focusing on social issues like gay marriage, especially as more young people and women get involved in the voting process. GOP state Rep. Dave McSweeney also points to the missteps of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. “ We have a massive tax hike, out of control spending, a big unpaid backlog of bills—and we have fewer Republican General Assembly members,” he told POLITICO. “We’re worse off than when he came in.” McSweeney says Republicans need to follow Democrats’ political tactics: Run a grassroots GOTV campaign. “This wasn’t a policy victory,” he said, referring to J.B. Pritzker’s rout over Rauner. “Pritzker ran on a vague platform. What he and Democrats did was get out the vote.”)

https://www.aol.com/article/finance/2018/11/12/how-trumps-tax-cuts-hurt-the-gop-in-americas-wealthy-suburbs/23587443/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Proponents of the tax bill say the SALT cap, which tends to benefit the wealthier, will still be offset by a now-doubled standard deduction. Republican Peter Roskam, one of the key members of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee, heavily advertised how a larger standard deduction would simplify the tax filing to the size of a postcard. Roskam ended up losing his seat in Illinois’s 6th congressional district, where Democratic challenger Sean Casten took to Medium.com to attack Roskam and the Trump tax cuts. “Peter Roskam likes to hype his position on the Ways and Means committee to convince you he knows more about tax policy and you do,” Casten wrote. “It’s all a lie.” With Roskam gone, the Republican side of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee looks thin on members who helped drive the tax reform bill. Three of the six subcommittee members did not run for reelection.)

In 1978, while I was an IRS employee, the Democrats who ran IRS investigated my federal income tax returns. In 1974, while I was an IRS employee, the Democrats who ran IRS investigated my partial day per diem claims. In 1968 and 1969, while I was a Post Office employee, the Democrats who ran the Post Office investigated my sick leave claims. The aforesaid investigations were adverse actions taken to end my federal career and to get rid of me. None of the aforesaid investigations would have been launched if I had been a Democrat, a minority, a female, or a veteran.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: My friends and I turned 50 this year. There is a group of about 11 of us from college who get together once a year to relive our glory days and catch up on each other’s lives. Over the last couple of years, five out of the 11 have lost jobs. Losing a job when you’re in your late 40s to early 50s can be financially devastating. Those are the prime earning years and the time when a person can really start putting away for retirement and catch up if the nest egg wasn’t built large enough in their 20s and 30s. A layoff or termination after 25 years of building a career can really set a person back. The likelihood that such a person will find work at the same pay level becomes more remote. At the same time, greater financial obligations like educating kids, preparing for retirement, or caring for parents come to the forefront.)

November 11 Morning Edition

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD IN NAPERVILLE SUN: DIERSEN HEADLINE: Anti-Trumps crow about their success in a) promoting hatred against Trump in Naperville and b) getting voters in Naperville to punish Trump by voting for Democrats.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/naperville-sun/news/ct-nvs-midterm-results-by-precinct-st-1111-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Despite a strong showing in Naperville in 2014 and 2016, unofficial DuPage numbers show Roskam took only half the Naperville precincts in 2018, helping propel Democrat Sean Casten to a victory. Results aren’t deemed official until all provisional ballots have been counted and validated. The deadline for that is Nov. 20. Hultgren’s previously red precinct map in Wheatland Township in Naperville went all blue, based on unofficial Will numbers, to give Democratic challenger Lauren Underwood of Naperville the win. Foster also gained momentum in the 11th Congressional race this year, picking up four DuPage Township precincts and a Wheatland precinct that in Naperville traditionally had been red for at least the last decade, unofficial results show. Foster performed much better in the Lisle and Naperville Township portions of the city, losing in three precincts Tuesday to his Republican challenger Nick Stella, and unofficial figures indicate the losses in those precincts were by 10 or fewer votes. Jim Ruhl, chairman of the Naperville Township Republican Organization, said what drove suburban voters to the polls was more related to personality than economics. “You cannot deny we have record job growth,” he said. And Ruhl expects voters will flip back in the next election cycle when the people they’ve elected fail to perform. “The very politics going on in Chicago are what will be coming. It will have a big impact on the DuPage County area,” Ruhl said. . .Several sections of the city remain primarily Republican. Spots where voters consistently vote Republican at the precinct level are located on the east side of Naperville between Chicago Avenue and Hobson Road and between South Washington Street and Plainfield-Naperville Road south of Oswego Road. Other pockets are located north of Book Road in the area near Naperville Presbyterian Church, in the south near Winding Creek Park, and in the area east of McDowell Grove Forest Preserve. . .Determining how a person will vote depends on multiple factors, including education, race, gender and socio-economic status, said Suzanne Chod, associate professor of political science and coordinator of gender and women’s studies at North Central College in Naperville. She said generally the more educated a person is the more likely he or she will vote for a Democrat. “Less educated people are more likely to vote Republican. Education is the biggest predictor of voting habits,” Chod said. People of color, women, and those who are on the higher end of the socio-economic scale, she said, also are inclined to vote Democratic. From a political science perspective, it’s no surprise Democratic candidates did well in Naperville. Chod said voters in suburban communities surrounding large cities tend to be wealthier and more educated. The fact that more people of color are moving into Naperville checks another box off the list. Kerr said Naperville’s demographics are changing as evidenced by the 800 people who attended a Naperville interfaith service last week in reaction to hate-motivated gun attack during a Jewish Shabbat service in Pittsburgh. The Jewish congregation was joined by the spiritual leaders of 11 faiths from the area, including Mormons, Hindus, Muslims and Catholics. “That’s the community we live in now,” Kerr said. “They’re concerned about people besides themselves.”)

— 3 Ways to Increase Your Chances of Getting a Raise for 2019 Want a pay boost next year? Here’s how to score one. – Maurie Backman (DIERSEN: Federal employees cannot get significant pay increases by just asking for them. They must apply for promotions. My Democrat GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were beyond furious in 1986 when I successfully applied for a promotion to GS-13, currently $96,403/year. Because of that, they “pulled out all the stops” to stop me from ever getting a promotion to GS-14, currently $113,920/year. In 1987, they forced the GAO manager who had promoted me to GS-13 in 1986 to retire. He had hired me in 1980 and had gotten me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986. In 1989, they really “pulled out all the stops” to get rid of me. They threw me off audits of IRS, gave me unfair performance expectations, and gave me an unfair performance appraisal. In 1989, if Henry Hyde had not intervened for me, they might have succeeded in getting rid of me. Because it frustrated their tremendous efforts to get rid of me, they were beyond furious a) when in 1990, I successfully applied to work for the young Jewish female GS-15 in the office who was responsible for audits of federal financial institution regulators, b) when later in 1990, I became a Certified Fraud Examiner, c) when in 1994, I became a Certified Government Financial Manager, d) when in 1996, I became a Certified Financial Services Auditor, and e) when in 1997, I became a Forensic Accountant. They were especially beyond furious in 1997 when I earned a master’s degree in financial markets and trading from IIT.)

GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE

(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a memo to agency leaders, Weichert acknowledged that provisions making it easier to fire federal employees, setting time limits on collective bargaining negotiations, and restricting grievances and the use of official time were ruled unlawful by U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson last summer. But she encouraged agencies to continue to pursue the spirit of those executive orders in their ongoing negotiations for new contracts with federal employee unions.)

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH COLOR PHOTO OF PRITZKER: With Pritzker win, pot legalization is now in legislators’ hands, but not all are on board – Robert McCoppin (DIERSEN: If you promote pot, you promote destruction.)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-met-pritzker-illinois-marijuana-legalize-legislature-20181108-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kevin Sabet, head of Smart Approaches to Marijuana, which opposes legalization, said he thinks the study authors are biased. Sabet said they failed to account for the serious downsides of drug use, such as car accidents and substance abuse. He also said decriminalization of marijuana, which took effect in Illinois in 2016, addresses many of the social justice issues. Holdouts against legalization remain ready to fight it in the General Assembly. House Republican leader Jim Durkin said lawmakers should stop their rush toward legalization. “I will never support legalization,” he said. “I don’t like how quickly we are moving. Illinois should not be part of this lab experiment. I see no societal value.” Durkin supports medical marijuana for pain and end-of-life care and said that program appears successful in prohibiting access for underage use and the illegal drug market. He called for lawmakers to review the results when that pilot program expires in summer 2020, before moving beyond it, but said he does not know how much opposition remains in Springfield.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: HB40 reared its head in Tuesday’s election. Every incumbent who voted for the controversial measure was reelected, and sponsors of the HB4114 to repeal HB40 were defeated. They are state Reps. Peter Breen, Christine Winger and Sheri Jesiel. Breen’s defeat was particularly shocking. Along with being had been an outspoken opponent of HB40, which repealed the “trigger” language in Illinois stating that the day Roe v. Wade is ever modified or overturned, abortion would be illegal in Illinois with no exceptions. HB40 also removed the restriction on state funding for some abortions. After the bill passed and was signed by the governor, Breen filed suit to dismantle the legislation. Personal PAC, which supports abortion rights, spent more than $300,000 to unseat Breen, “and it was worth every penny,” Terry Cosgrove, president and CEO of Personal PAC told POLITICO, calling it one of the political action committee’s “biggest victories ever.”)

— Orange County Leans Purple in Shift for California Republicans – Christopher Palmeri
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-08/orange-county-leans-purple-in-shift-for-california-republicans
— New York Times Beats Race, Age Discrimination Class Claims (DIERSEN: Rather than fight race discrimination, fight gender discrimination, and/or fight age discrimination, virtually all of my superiors, supervisors, and coworkers in the federal government who were White, male, and/or older, and who were victims of the aforesaid discrimination, “cut deals” to keep their jobs. I should write a book about the aforesaid in GAO’s Chicago office who, to keep their jobs, agreed to help GAO a) waste my career and b) force me to retire in 1997 when I was 49 years old.)
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/class-action/ny-times-beats-race-age-discrimination-class-claims
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The New York Times Co. convinced a federal court Nov. 8 that employee allegations of race and age discrimination can’t be certified as a class action. There are too few employees in each of the proposed classes to justify class status, Judge P. Kevin Castel wrote for the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The plaintiffs identified 10 employees for the race class and 24 for the age class.)

FORBES
— If You Don’t Want To Flip Burgers At 67, Do These 10 Things Right Now – Jack Kelly (DIERSEN: What are some of the things that you did to qualify yourself for better paying jobs and to keep those jobs? I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2018/11/08/if-you-dont-want-to-flip-burgers-at-67-do-these-10-things-right-now/#452f15ff3586
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Here is what you should immediately start doing if you are in your late 30s and older: 1. Think critically if your type of work can be done later in life. Does your job have certain physical manual work requirements that have a built in expiration date as you age? Could technology easily disrupt your job? Can your position be relocated? Could a junior (cheaper) person take over your responsibilities with a little training period? Will your job be too taxing and stressful to continue in your 50s, 60s or 70s? 2. If your job doesn’t easily lend itself to working into your sixties, start figuring out a second career right away before it’s too late. 3. Start a side hustle. If it doesn’t work keep trying until something clicks. 4. Consider going back to school to earn a degree which may open some new doors, and offer a new lease on life. 5. Obtain training in a niche area that could lead to a second career. 6. Save and invest as much money as possible to allow you to retire on your own terms. This will be difficult because it requires giving up fancy vacations, flashy cars, and an extravagant lifestyle. 7. If you live in an expensive and high taxed neighborhood, sell your home, move to a lower cost state, and bank the savings. 8. Maybe pivot to a job with the government, education or other sectors that can’t discriminate like the private sector does. 9. Start a side business that is a passion but could also provide a steady stream of income. 10. Don’t bury your head in the sand and pretend that you’ll never grow old.)
— How Much Longer Will You Work? – Sara Zeff Geber
https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarazeffgeber/2018/11/08/how-much-longer-will-you-work/#ba8e51a32d2a
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Are you one of the many baby boomers who have done the math and determined that even with Social Security you have not saved enough money to retire? If so, welcome to a very large club. The Employee Benefits Research Institute (EBRI) and the Federal Reserve estimate the average accumulated wealth for workers in their 50s and 60s is less than $150,000. That amount will surely not support a 30+ year retirement, especially in the coastal areas of the U.S. Most financial advisors are recommending accumulating assets of at least $1million to ensure you will be able to finance your full retirement, including health care costs and care for yourself and your spouse or loved one. If you don’t have quite that much, does it mean you will have to work forever or live in your wealthy cousin’s basement? Probably not, but it depends. First of all, if you are in good health, why do you want to retire? If you aren’t sick of what you are doing, hang in there for a while and accumulate a bit more savings. If you are chomping at the bit to leave your current employer or stop doing whatever draws a 1099 at the end of the year, then it may be time to consider what else you might want to do that would still earn a paycheck and be more aligned with your current interests and values.)

— Change in Control of House Could Have Big Impact for Federal Employees (DIERSEN: Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who are not federal employees or federal retirees wanted Henry Hyde, Peter Roskam, and all the other Republican U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators to cut federal pay and benefits. They are furious that I have a $51,864/year Civil Service Retirement System pension and a $18,000/year federal health, dental, and vision insurance subsidy. They are furious that my pay increased from $15.85/hour to $125,325/year in today’s dollars while I was a federal employee 1966-1969 and 1971-1997 and that I had vacation, sick leave, and other benefits. In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.)

The following Democrats on the ballot in my precinct won: Sean Casten, JP Pritzker and Juliana Statton, Kwane Raoul, Jesse White, Susan Mendoza, Michael Fierichs, Jean Kaczmarek, Mary Ozog, and Linda Davenport. Because the aforesaid are Democrats, the Democrat Party will require them to be anti-Trump, anti-Protestant, anti-conservative, anti-patriotic, anti-Republican, anti-American, anti-White, anti-male, anti-older people, anti-rich people, anti-gun owners, anti-German Americans, anti-draft avoiders, and/or anti-those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.- Dave Diersen

CHICAGO CITY WIRE
— How will Illinois’ political journalists vote on Tuesday? We have a guess. – LGIS News Service (DIERSEN: LGIS News Service DOES NOT CONSIDER ME TO BE A POLITICAL JOURNALIST. My GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails drive lots of traffic to websites owned by LGIS News Service. I have been the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000. Since 2004, I have sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every morning. Since 2015, I have also sent out a GOPUSA ILLINOIS email each and every evening. Since 2004, those emails have included links to more than 317,000 articles and information about many upcoming events. What do you say to my critics/opponents who state that they are religious, conservative, and/or Republican, but who hint/imply/argue/shout that I AM NOT A POLITICAL JOURNALIST? Most commonly, to discredit me and to discredit my emails, they stress that no one pays me for what I do as the GOPUSA Illinois Editor, that GOPUSA ILLINOIS email subscriptions are free, that the emails contain no advertising or pictures, that I am a Republican Precinct Committeeman, and that I do not have a degree in journalism. I should write a book about my critics/opponents. They a) reject planks in the Republican Party platform and/or the Illinois Republican Party platform, most commonly, the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks, and work against those like me who support those planks, b) reject the Milton Township Republican Central Committee resolution against video gambling and work against those like me who support that resolution, c) focus on destroying those like me who they cannot manipulate/dominate, d) were defendants in lawsuits that I have filed, and/or e) are operatives or dupes for the aforesaid.)
https://chicagocitywire.com/stories/511621503-how-will-illinois-political-journalists-vote-on-tuesday-we-have-a-guess
(FROM THE ARTICLE: If Illinois’ political journalists were the only ones voting on Tuesday, J.B. Pritzker, Mike Madigan and the rest of the state’s Democrats would win in a landslide. Chicago City Wire analysis of the primary voting records of 100 leading Illinois political journalists found that 93 percent of the primary votes they’ve collectively cast have been for Democrats, versus just seven percent for Republicans. All told, out of 424 total primary votes recorded by the Illinois State Board of Elections (ISBE), 395 of them were for Democrats. In the March 2018 primary, 57 of the 100 journalists reviewed voted in the Democrat primary. One, Fox 32 Political Editor Mike Flannery, voted in the Republican one. Of the 100 journalist voting records analyzed, 79 had cast more Democrat ballots than Republican ones and 18 recorded no primary votes. One journalist cast an equal number of Democrat and Republican ballots, and two cast more ballots for Republicans than Democrats. Those two are Capitol Fax’s Rich Miller (5 GOP / 4 DEM) and Doug Finke, a veteran reporter of the Springfield State Journal-Register (1/0). Miller, who founded the popular Capitol Fax newsletter in 1993, voted in Democrat primaries in 1994, 1996 and 1998, then Republican ones in 2000, 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016 before pulling a Democrat primary ballot again this past March. Finke has cast one primary ballot since 1992, in a four-way 2006 Republican primary that included State Treasurer Judy Baar Topinka, Jim Oberweis, Bill Brady and Ron Gidwitz. Topinka won 38 percent of the primary vote before falling to incumbent Democrat Rod Blagojevich in the general election. . .How do your favorite Illinois political journalists vote in primary elections? Chicago City Wire analyzed the voting records of 100 of the state’s top politics and government journalists to test the conventional wisdom. Are they really Democrat-leaning?)

Of course, their purpose to get information a) to justify their wasting my career, b) to justify their taking adverse actions against me, and c) to justify forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” They most frequently asked me questions to confirm my support for the traditional family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks in the Republican Party platform.)

I should write a book about those who have questioned my motives and my judgment. They blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for their problems, for your problems, for my problems, and for everyone’s problems. Of course, they will blame me and my GOPUSA Illinois emails for all the losses that Republican candidates in Illinois will suffer on November 6, 2018. They will specifically blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all the losses that Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct will suffer.)

I am a Trump supporter, Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, old (70), non-poor, gun owner, draft avoider, 100% German American, my ancestors have been in America since 1844, union member for almost 12 years, federal employee for almost 30 years, federal retiree for more than 21 years, childless, pet-less, American nameplate car owner, etc. The aforesaid Republican candidates want those with the following demographics to campaign for them: anti-Trump, minority, female, attractive, young, and recent immigrant.)

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— To measure the real base of California’s Republican support, look no further than Trump’s approval numbers – John Myers (DIERSEN: What are Trump’s approval numbers in your precinct, in your municipality, in your township/ward, in your county, and in Illinois? What do you say to Republican candidates in districts that have low Trump approval numbers a) who dump Trump to get elected/reelected and b) who dump Trump supporters like me to get elected/reelected?)
http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-california-republicans-2018-election-analysis-20181105-story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: To calculate the size of the Republican base, just look at the president’s job-approval number. Find that loyal Trump supporter, goes the logic, and you’re looking at a voter who will stick with Republican candidates through hell or high water. That number, according to a recent poll, is about 39% of statewide likely voters. The nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California found that this core group of GOP voters is centered among the ranks of white male voters. Many live near San Diego or in the Central Valley. Most are registered Republicans, though some are unaffiliated “independent” voters. Many attended college but didn’t leave with a degree. Given the animus of the state’s elected officials toward Trump’s policies, 39% support for the president among likely California voters is a reasonably strong showing. (And it’s worth noting that the president’s job approval is much lower among all adults — another example of how the electorate doesn’t accurately reflect the state as a whole.) It’s less uplifting, though, for a Republican who’s trying to win statewide office. Trump may have helped reveal the contours of the party’s base, but his reputation could also create a shatterproof ceiling come election day.)
