The San Francisco Bay Area is unique in the weakness of the RP. And so long as it is associated with the RNC, it will never get Silicon Valley support. This is no small matter. Meanwhile, that support is looking for an alternative to the bureaucratic war party.
And even in relatively-stronger LA, it will never get Hollywood support. I'm looking at the short run. I've already seen the "long run".
Even at the Bolshevik Revolution, the long-run prospects for Russia would be fine, producing billionaires in the 1990's and sustaining a space program beyond the U.S.
However things shape up, the current conduct of affairs to benefit liberty is dismal and the name, under which the necessary change is made, is immaterial.
It would be great if the California Republicans denounced the RNC, and that is a possibility.
