Going into the election I was really curious to see how Hillary would do in CA-48 because although Rohrabacher keeps getting re-elected because our candidates suck even more than he does, with each passing election Republican enthusiasm seems to be diminishing.
And indeed Hillary beat out Trump in CA-48.
The so-called Orange Curtain would fall if we ran competitive candidates everywhere in Orange County rather than just relying on demographics where any Democrat could win.
