My turn: GOP is dead in California. A new way must rise [View all]

From the article:

The California Republican Party isn’t salvageable at this time. The Grand Old Party is dead – partly because it has failed to separate itself from today’s toxic, national brand of Republican politics.
Painful though it was, that was the message I delivered at the California Priorities Summit, sponsored by the Sacramento Bee in Sacramento last week.
I’ve spent my entire adult life in Republican politics, so for me to make such a comment wasn’t easy. But it doesn’t make it any less true. I and others have been warning people for years that this day of reckoning was coming if we didn’t do something different.

In 1968, the GOP decided that embracing the Southern strategy of Richard Nixon would be a winning strategy. And their economic strategy since 1980 has been Reagan's supply side lunacy of endless tax cuts for the rich.

So now they realize that policy based on racism and economic lunacy is not a good idea?
