Yes im a Southern California native former Democrat who voted for Trump 3 times. I was so angry last night at my fellow citizens...everyone in my OWN circle told me THEY DIDNT VOTE. When i asked why...they said the media and polls said we didnt have a chance so they didnt bother....i just cant anymore with these people. Im stuck here cuz im over 60...no family...health problems...and i just cry.

Megyn, you should have Carl DeMaio (Reform California) as a guest on your show. He has been working tirelessly to change things for the better in California.

The margin was what was so depressing. Had they lost in close races in NJ and VA, then that would be one thing. But this makes you wonder about where we are headed.
