I been a Californian for decades and watched our state go from strength to strength. From the sixth biggest economy in the world to the fifth. We came through the last big crash stronger than ever and Governor Brown left us with a budget surplus. Say what you will, you can’t argue with success. If there was any decent cruising there we never would have left.
It is not surprising at at all that at a time when our nation desperately needs leadership and when there is none coming from Washington, the Governors that have stepped in to fill the void are Democrats from liberal states. Newsome, Inslee and Cuomo are accustomed to leading from the front and telling people what they need to be told, they govern with an eye on the long term, not on the daily news cycle.
I have voted Democratic since 1972 and never have I been prouder of the Governors, Senators and Congressmen and women of my party than in this crisis. Flame me all you want, but all I need do is open a newspaper to see the contrast between parties. One leader says “I won’t take responsibility for that” and the others take action to protect citizens irregardless of the political consequences.
