California: Jump on the Trump train

Now that the great state of California is controlled by a Democratic “supermajority,” the pressure is on Sacramento to produce. And that leads to the questions of what direction will this political leadership take? Further left? Middle, perhaps? Right, never!

President-elect Donald Trump proclaims he’ll “Make “America Great Again.” Will that be with or without California?

Only time will tell, but we can only hope that the far-left state political leadership will hear the national blare, take heed as to what the populists of America have voted for, and climb on board the Trump train.

However, if the past record of the state leadership is any indicator of future direction, I am fearful that we Californians are on the Sacramento High-Speed Rail Express into a dismal abyss. Pun intended!
