    I wish we could all be Californian.

I don't.

Look for more of these types of articles in the coming months. The Press lives in a very well defended bubble; Trump's election cracked that wall. There are a lot, and I mean a LOT of tech people and media people who think that the entire USA is California, Seattle, Brooklyn and Austin, forgetting that there are 100+ million Americans who still live outside the major cities and don't care about Silicon Valley and tech startup culture.

The Democrats lost in part because they abandoned the 50 state strategy. This is why I make calls and talk to the people now begging me for money that we need Howard Dean back in charge.
