Jim Goad: “California is one big melted chunk of plastic cancer”

October 16, 2017 By Kathy Shaidle

Jim Goad writes:

So as I drove out of California on Friday night, I realized that if the state were to leave the Union, I would not stand in its way.

I spoke with friends who are planning to leave the state because they’re terrified of saying a positive word about Donald Trump for fear of having their heads smashed in with bike locks.

If you removed California from the 2016 presidential election, Trump would have smashed Clinton in the Electoral College in a 306-177 rout. He also would have flogged her in the popular vote by nearly 1.5 million.
