He has promised to deport millions of immigrants who don’t have papers, to build a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico and to bargain with foreign governments, such as those of Russia and China. His list of nearly two dozen potential nominees to the nation’s highest court is largely in line with conservative doctrine, if Trump in fact chooses from that list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are hints that Trump, 70, would defer to his vice president, Indiana Gov.

He never released his tax returns, citing an ongoing audit that would not have barred him from making them public. He called his opponent a “nasty woman,” launched his campaign by declaring that some Mexican immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally are “rapists” and “murderers,” and flatly denied accounts from about a dozen women who accused him of past sexual misconduct or assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many voters also appeared to be undeterred by the release of a 2005 videotape from Access Hollywood in which Trump, on a hot mic, talked about grabbing women between the legs because celebrities “can do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His relationship with Congress represents another uncertainty. Trump has openly feuded with Republican lawmakers such as House Speaker Paul Ryan. In other cases, Trump promised to create a SuperPAC that would go after his enemies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The election deals yet another bitter defeat to Clinton, 69, a former first lady and U.S. senator who had appeared to retain a modest lead in national polls heading into Election Day. Clinton, the first woman to run atop the ticket of a major political party, had cast her candidacy as an inclusive vision for the future. She pledged to devote new resources to restoring American infrastructure, to fight for gun safety measures, to fix a broken immigration system and to nominate judges to the Supreme Court who would overhaul the campaign finance system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton had been shadowed for more than a year by revelations she used a private email server to conduct State Department business. The FBI investigated her handling of classified information and determined that “no reasonable prosecutor” would have filed any criminal case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the final weeks of the campaign, FBI Director James Comey dropped a bombshell. He notified Congress that the agency had discovered a new cache of emails and needed to sort through them, just 11 days before the election. Comey later announced the FBI had found nothing to change its analysis in the case, after polls between Clinton and Trump had tightened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Trump adviser Barry Bennett attributed the victory to the idea that Trump understood the mood of voters better than the political professionals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a testament to how angry they are at Washington, and Washington better hear it,” Bennett said. “Perhaps we got a little aligned too closely with business and not with the people. So maybe this is a shift back, which would be good for the party.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump supporter and onetime candidate Ben Carson put the president-elect’s appeal this way: “As I’ve said all along, this is not about Democrats and Republicans, this is about we the people versus the political elites.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2016 NPR.

He called his opponent a “nasty woman,” launched his campaign by declaring that some Mexican immigrants who come to the U.S. illegally are “rapists” and “murderers,” and flatly denied accounts from about a dozen women who accused him of past sexual misconduct or assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many voters also appeared to be undeterred by the release of a 2005 videotape from Access Hollywood in which Trump, on a hot mic, talked about grabbing women between the legs because celebrities “can do anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His relationship with Congress represents another uncertainty. Trump has openly feuded with Republican lawmakers such as House Speaker Paul Ryan. In other cases, Trump promised to create a SuperPAC that would go after his enemies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The election deals yet another bitter defeat to Clinton, 69, a former first lady and U.S. senator who had appeared to retain a modest lead in national polls heading into Election Day. Clinton, the first woman to run atop the ticket of a major political party, had cast her candidacy as an inclusive vision for the future. She pledged to devote new resources to restoring American infrastructure, to fight for gun safety measures, to fix a broken immigration system and to nominate judges to the Supreme Court who would overhaul the campaign finance system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton had been shadowed for more than a year by revelations she used a private email server to conduct State Department business. The FBI investigated her handling of classified information and determined that “no reasonable prosecutor” would have filed any criminal case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the final weeks of the campaign, FBI Director James Comey dropped a bombshell. He notified Congress that the agency had discovered a new cache of emails and needed to sort through them, just 11 days before the election. Comey later announced the FBI had found nothing to change its analysis in the case, after polls between Clinton and Trump had tightened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Trump adviser Barry Bennett attributed the victory to the idea that Trump understood the mood of voters better than the political professionals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a testament to how angry they are at Washington, and Washington better hear it,” Bennett said. “Perhaps we got a little aligned too closely with business and not with the people. So maybe this is a shift back, which would be good for the party.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Billionaire technology investor and entrepreneur Peter Thiel made headlines last week for his full-throated support of Donald Trump. And while Thiel’s stance isn’t winning many supporters in Silicon Valley, it is a sign of how this year people in the tech industry are taking their political engagement to new levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing I’m most excited about and most hopeful for is that there are folks my age who are getting more politically engaged,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/3037933/the-visible-man\" target=\"_blank\">Tristan Walker\u003c/a>, the founder and CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://walkerandcompany.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Walker & Company Brands\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is 32 years old and his company sells beauty and health products to people of color. It’s backed by some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. His office is based in Palo Alto, and in that democratic stronghold it should be no surprise that Walker isn’t just for Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am vociferously against Donald Trump. Innovation is what makes America great, diversity is what makes America great,” Walker said. “I think he has no clue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is African-American and has been an outspoken advocate for diversity. He signed a scathing \u003ca href=\"https://shift.newco.co/an-open-letter-from-technology-sector-leaders-on-donald-trumps-candidacy-for-president-5bf734c159e4#.hb80m1ykr\" target=\"_blank\">public letter\u003c/a> calling Trump a “disaster for innovation.” The co-founders of eBay, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and about 140 other folks in the tech industry also signed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker, like many in the tech industry, supported President Obama during the last election. So why didn't the tech community pen a similar letter against Mitt Romney in the previous election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about Democrat and Republican this year,” Walker said. “This is a referendum on decency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is also supporting a \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/17/tech-election-day-holiday/\" target=\"_blank\">grass-roots campaign to give tech workers the day off to vote\u003c/a>. He said that during this election “civic engagement is actually increasing in a big way” among his colleagues in tech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/290995376\" params=\"auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"250\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tucker Bounds agrees. He’s the co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://sidewire.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Sidewire\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based social network built on texting. But in a previous life, Bounds was a spokesman for U.S. Sen. John McCain during his run for the presidency in 2008. And he worked on Republican \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/09/21/meg-whitman-to-co-host-clinton-campaign-event/\" target=\"_blank\">Meg Whitman\u003c/a>’s campaign for governor of California in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I see in terms of online engagement and activism from people I worked alongside who have no connection to politics,” Bounds said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds said during the last two elections, his colleagues in tech watched the debates and talked about them. But this time around?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are hosting \u003ca href=\"http://www.nerdz4hillary.com/\" target=\"_blank\">fundraisers \u003c/a>that have never hosted fundraisers before,” Bounds said. “I was just talking to a colleague of mine who works at a technology company who was talking about parachuting into Nevada with her daughter to campaign for Hillary Clinton. And these are people that would never have thought about going to a target state to campaign for a president before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech companies are getting involved, too. Spotify launched a podcast this election season called \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/4b5VHDtJiF64Fctww4QrxH\" target=\"_blank\">Clarify\u003c/a>, which is aimed at getting millennials more engaged. And Facebook launched its first \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/09/23/facebook-launches-first-nationwide-voter-registration-drive/90866726/\" target=\"_blank\"> national voter registration\u003c/a> drive this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Silicon Valley is left-leaning, it’s also had a libertarian bent that put the focus on innovation -- and not government -- as a tool for social good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds said that mentality has changed. As technology makes inroads into almost every part of our lives, tech companies and workers are being forced to work more closely with government. Still, Bounds said, it would be a mistake to take all this activism as a referendum on the Republican Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have in Donald Trump somebody who most people who work in the valley find totally unacceptable,” Bounds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds is a Republican, so will he be voting for Donald Trump?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to be voting for Donald Trump,” Bounds said. “I will probably write in George H.W. Bush. It reminds me of a time when Republicans stood for thoughtful, hard-working, qualified people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob-LJqPQEJ4&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say there aren’t Trump supporters in Silicon Valley, but they’re not easy to find. Of course, one Trump supporter has been Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook. In late October, Thiel's $1.25 million donation to the Trump campaign was the source of \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/11145796/is-silicon-valley-having-a-teachable-moment-about-implicit-bias\" target=\"_blank\">fierce controversy \u003c/a>in the valley. Some accused Thiel of supporting\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/projectinclude/peter-thiel-yc-and-hard-decisions-2b91bab83764#.yct8iwod8\" target=\"_blank\"> hate speech\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re voting for Trump because we judge the leadership of our country to have failed,” Thiel said in his defense at a press conference this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.inc.com/tess-townsend/future-of-ai-at-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Levie\u003c/a> thinks a Trump presidency is a threat to the tech industry. Levie is a co-founder and CEO of Box. The Redwood City-based company provides online storage and collaboration tools to companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a given that America will be at the forefront of technology,” said Levie, who also signed the open letter against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we race forward into a digital and information economy, Levie said, Silicon Valley’s success depends on training workers in the U.S. and attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which means that we have to have massive reform that we need in our education systems,” he said. “We need massive reform in our immigration process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Levie said policy reform is needed in Washington around big issues confronting the technology sector, like encryption and privacy. He said Hillary Clinton’s policies best address those needs. And how do Clinton’s policies stack up against Trump's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t get the tech policies from the Trump side, so the outreach of the Trump campaign to the technology industry has been extremely limited to negligible,” Levie said. “So I don’t know how to compare and contrast to his policies. I only know how to compare and contrast to his rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said Trump’s rhetoric hasn’t been reassuring to the tech industry. He cites Trump's idea to ask Bill Gates to help shut down parts of the internet in response to terrorism. And Trump has also called for a\u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/19/politics/donald-trump-apple-boycott/\" target=\"_blank\"> boycott of Apple \u003c/a>for refusing to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “has shown such naive understanding of technology, it’s hard to even begin,” Levie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say he discounts Trump supporters. He said this election has exposed the serious challenges American workers face, in part because of technological disruption. Levie's hope? That once the sound and fury of Trump dies down, tech leaders will start working with government to address these concerns, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of our ongoing series on Techquity: Diversity, Inclusion and Equity in Silicon Valley. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And while Thiel’s stance isn’t winning many supporters in Silicon Valley, it is a sign of how this year people in the tech industry are taking their political engagement to new levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing I’m most excited about and most hopeful for is that there are folks my age who are getting more politically engaged,” said \u003ca href=\"https://www.fastcompany.com/3037933/the-visible-man\" target=\"_blank\">Tristan Walker\u003c/a>, the founder and CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://walkerandcompany.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Walker & Company Brands\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is 32 years old and his company sells beauty and health products to people of color. It’s backed by some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley. His office is based in Palo Alto, and in that democratic stronghold it should be no surprise that Walker isn’t just for Hillary Clinton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am vociferously against Donald Trump. Innovation is what makes America great, diversity is what makes America great,” Walker said. “I think he has no clue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walker is African-American and has been an outspoken advocate for diversity. He signed a scathing \u003ca href=\"https://shift.newco.co/an-open-letter-from-technology-sector-leaders-on-donald-trumps-candidacy-for-president-5bf734c159e4#.hb80m1ykr\" target=\"_blank\">public letter\u003c/a> calling Trump a “disaster for innovation.” The co-founders of eBay, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter and about 140 other folks in the tech industry also signed it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

So why didn't the tech community pen a similar letter against Mitt Romney in the previous election?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about Democrat and Republican this year,” Walker said. “This is a referendum on decency.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He is also supporting a \u003ca href=\"https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/17/tech-election-day-holiday/\" target=\"_blank\">grass-roots campaign to give tech workers the day off to vote\u003c/a>.

He’s the co-founder of \u003ca href=\"https://sidewire.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Sidewire\u003c/a>, a San Francisco-based social network built on texting. But in a previous life, Bounds was a spokesman for U.S. Sen. John McCain during his run for the presidency in 2008. And he worked on Republican \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/09/21/meg-whitman-to-co-host-clinton-campaign-event/\" target=\"_blank\">Meg Whitman\u003c/a>’s campaign for governor of California in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I see in terms of online engagement and activism from people I worked alongside who have no connection to politics,” Bounds said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds said during the last two elections, his colleagues in tech watched the debates and talked about them. But this time around?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are hosting \u003ca href=\"http://www.nerdz4hillary.com/\" target=\"_blank\">fundraisers \u003c/a>that have never hosted fundraisers before,” Bounds said. “I was just talking to a colleague of mine who works at a technology company who was talking about parachuting into Nevada with her daughter to campaign for Hillary Clinton. And these are people that would never have thought about going to a target state to campaign for a president before.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech companies are getting involved, too. Spotify launched a podcast this election season called \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/show/4b5VHDtJiF64Fctww4QrxH\" target=\"_blank\">Clarify\u003c/a>, which is aimed at getting millennials more engaged. And Facebook launched its first \u003ca href=\"http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/09/23/facebook-launches-first-nationwide-voter-registration-drive/90866726/\" target=\"_blank\"> national voter registration\u003c/a> drive this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Silicon Valley is left-leaning, it’s also had a libertarian bent that put the focus on innovation -- and not government -- as a tool for social good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds said that mentality has changed. As technology makes inroads into almost every part of our lives, tech companies and workers are being forced to work more closely with government. Still, Bounds said, it would be a mistake to take all this activism as a referendum on the Republican Party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have in Donald Trump somebody who most people who work in the valley find totally unacceptable,” Bounds said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bounds is a Republican, so will he be voting for Donald Trump?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am not going to be voting for Donald Trump,” Bounds said. “I will probably write in George H.W. Bush. It reminds me of a time when Republicans stood for thoughtful, hard-working, qualified people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ob-LJqPQEJ4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ob-LJqPQEJ4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say there aren’t Trump supporters in Silicon Valley, but they’re not easy to find. Of course, one Trump supporter has been Peter Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook. In late October, Thiel's $1.25 million donation to the Trump campaign was the source of \u003ca href=\"http://elections.kqed.org/article/11145796/is-silicon-valley-having-a-teachable-moment-about-implicit-bias\" target=\"_blank\">fierce controversy \u003c/a>in the valley. Some accused Thiel of supporting\u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/projectinclude/peter-thiel-yc-and-hard-decisions-2b91bab83764#.yct8iwod8\" target=\"_blank\"> hate speech\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re voting for Trump because we judge the leadership of our country to have failed,” Thiel said in his defense at a press conference this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://www.inc.com/tess-townsend/future-of-ai-at-box.html\" target=\"_blank\">Aaron Levie\u003c/a> thinks a Trump presidency is a threat to the tech industry. Levie is a co-founder and CEO of Box. The Redwood City-based company provides online storage and collaboration tools to companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a given that America will be at the forefront of technology,” said Levie, who also signed the open letter against Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As we race forward into a digital and information economy, Levie said, Silicon Valley’s success depends on training workers in the U.S. and attracting high-skilled workers from around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which means that we have to have massive reform that we need in our education systems,” he said. “We need massive reform in our immigration process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Levie said policy reform is needed in Washington around big issues confronting the technology sector, like encryption and privacy. He said Hillary Clinton’s policies best address those needs. And how do Clinton’s policies stack up against Trump's?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t get the tech policies from the Trump side, so the outreach of the Trump campaign to the technology industry has been extremely limited to negligible,” Levie said. “So I don’t know how to compare and contrast to his policies. I only know how to compare and contrast to his rhetoric.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he said Trump’s rhetoric hasn’t been reassuring to the tech industry. He cites Trump's idea to ask Bill Gates to help shut down parts of the internet in response to terrorism. And Trump has also called for a\u003ca href=\"http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/19/politics/donald-trump-apple-boycott/\" target=\"_blank\"> boycott of Apple \u003c/a>for refusing to unlock the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump “has shown such naive understanding of technology, it’s hard to even begin,” Levie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s not to say he discounts Trump supporters. He said this election has exposed the serious challenges American workers face, in part because of technological disruption. Levie's hope? That once the sound and fury of Trump dies down, tech leaders will start working with government to address these concerns, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They typically show higher turnout rates in presidential election years -- and that may be particularly true this time, with little on the state ballot to ignite Republican interest (the two contenders in the U.S. Senate race, for example, are both Democrats.) And \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/states-voter-rolls-are-surgingand-1-in-3-new-voters-is-latino/\">only 15 percent\u003c/a> of California’s 2.2 million new voters have registered as Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 100 legislative seats up for election this fall, the balance of power will be determined by races in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article109083257.html\">12 swing districts\u003c/a>, most of them in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties. Assuming Democrats hold the seats they have, they need to pick up only three additional seats -- two in the Assembly and one in the Senate -- to gain a supermajority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they succeed, that bloc of Democrats would have enough votes to raise taxes, change political ethics laws, put constitutional amendments on the ballot and override gubernatorial vetoes -- wiping out any need to compromise with Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Republicans used the two-thirds vote requirement to force Democrats to compromise on money to build new reservoirs in the 2014 water bond, and the restructuring of a tax on health plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the biggest issue that once allowed Republicans to leverage their position on two-thirds votes is no longer an issue in Sacramento. Until a few years ago, a supermajority was needed to pass the annual state budget. That led to months of partisan standoffs, which so frustrated voters that they overturned the requirement in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reality, a supermajority would be unlikely to trigger huge policy changes -- at least in the near term. Democrats from swing districts would be reluctant to raise taxes, and the party is already \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/rise-of-the-business-democrat/\">split\u003c/a> on key environmental and labor issues. Nor did Democrats do much with the supermajority they won in 2012, before they lost it in early 2014 when two senators went on leave to fight criminal indictments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this election is unusual because of its potential to shape the Legislature for many years to come. A change to term limits -- lawmakers are now allowed to run for re-election to the same house for up to 12 years -- means the Assembly will have no vacancies created by term limits until 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election will affect the supermajority for the next decade -- not just the next two years,” said Assemblywoman Catharine Baker, a Dublin Republican making the case that her re-election is critical to maintain “any semblance of balance” in the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters is a nonprofit news venture devoted to covering California policy and politics.

It makes these races more competitive than they otherwise would be,” said Assemblyman Chad Mayes of Yucca Valley, who leads the GOP caucus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11148164\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11148164\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-800x506.jpg\" alt=\"The chambers of the California Legislature.\" width=\"800\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-800x506.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-160x101.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-1020x645.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-1180x746.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-960x607.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-240x152.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-375x237.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/CaliforniaLegislature-520x329.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The chambers of the California Legislature.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Even without Trump, Democrats were in a strong position to gain seats this year. They typically show higher turnout rates in presidential election years -- and that may be particularly true this time, with little on the state ballot to ignite Republican interest (the two contenders in the U.S. Senate race, for example, are both Democrats.) And \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/states-voter-rolls-are-surgingand-1-in-3-new-voters-is-latino/\">only 15 percent\u003c/a> of California’s 2.2 million new voters have registered as Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the 100 legislative seats up for election this fall, the balance of power will be determined by races in \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article109083257.html\">12 swing districts\u003c/a>, most of them in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties. Assuming Democrats hold the seats they have, they need to pick up only three additional seats -- two in the Assembly and one in the Senate -- to gain a supermajority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If they succeed, that bloc of Democrats would have enough votes to raise taxes, change political ethics laws, put constitutional amendments on the ballot and override gubernatorial vetoes -- wiping out any need to compromise with Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, Republicans used the two-thirds vote requirement to force Democrats to compromise on money to build new reservoirs in the 2014 water bond, and the restructuring of a tax on health plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the biggest issue that once allowed Republicans to leverage their position on two-thirds votes is no longer an issue in Sacramento. Until a few years ago, a supermajority was needed to pass the annual state budget. That led to months of partisan standoffs, which so frustrated voters that they overturned the requirement in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In reality, a supermajority would be unlikely to trigger huge policy changes -- at least in the near term. Democrats from swing districts would be reluctant to raise taxes, and the party is already \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/rise-of-the-business-democrat/\">split\u003c/a> on key environmental and labor issues. Nor did Democrats do much with the supermajority they won in 2012, before they lost it in early 2014 when two senators went on leave to fight criminal indictments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this election is unusual because of its potential to shape the Legislature for many years to come. A change to term limits -- lawmakers are now allowed to run for re-election to the same house for up to 12 years -- means the Assembly will have no vacancies created by term limits until 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This election will affect the supermajority for the next decade -- not just the next two years,” said Assemblywoman Catharine Baker, a Dublin Republican making the case that her re-election is critical to maintain “any semblance of balance” in the Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It also wasn't an outlier. It's a slogan that's been found on T-shirts at many Trump rallies since \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/04/25/trump-clinton-misogynistic-merch/\">at least March\u003c/a>. There are bumper stickers for sale with the slogan, even a \u003ca href=\"https://saucedistributor.com/trump-that-bitch-presidential-hot-sauce.html\">bottle of hot sauce\u003c/a>. (Clinton has said she \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/21/463858189/hillary-clintons-elixir-can-a-hot-pepper-a-day-boost-immunity\">carries hot sauce with her wherever she goes \u003c/a>because of the immune-boosting properties of hot peppers.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps it was inevitable that with the first female nominee of a major political party on the ballot, the race for president would have undercurrents of sexism. But what wasn't inevitable is just how out in the open it has been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is nearly impossible to separate out everything underlying this moment in history. Would this type of vitriol be directed at \u003cem>any\u003c/em> woman trying to reach the highest office in the land? Or is there something unique about Clinton, who has been on the political stage disrupting norms and drawing ire from Republicans for decades? And what about her opponent? If Clinton were running against someone else, would this still be happening?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Is this what we are teaching our little boys?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much responsibility does Donald Trump have to bear? For strategists aligned with the previous two Republican presidential nominees, quite a bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think that Jeb would have allowed that — or any of the other candidates,\" said Katie Packer, who was deputy campaign manager for Republican Mitt Romney in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Schmidt, a senior adviser to John McCain's 2008 campaign, also blamed Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's created a permissible environment for this,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schmidt and Packer are not Trump fans. But they speak from the experience of being part of the rigors of campaigns with GOP nominees for president that both also ran against another candidate whose very presence on the ballot challenged a historical norm — Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schmidt remembers a famous moment from 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was anger,\" Schmidt said, \"and there was angst and, as Sen. Obama was moving towards election to the presidency, the crowds became angrier frankly at the end of the campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, a woman stood up at and said, \"I can't trust Obama. I have read about him, and he's not, he's not, he's a -- he's an Arab.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain stopped her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He \"stepped forward towards her, and he said, 'No ma'am,' \" Schmidt recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain went on, \"He's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain never became beloved by the base the same way his running mate, Sarah Palin, did, and that was, in part, because of his willingness do things like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, perhaps unsurprisingly, there's been no moment like that — though there have been plenty of opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Packer points to pictures of parents standing with their children at rallies with a variety of shirts and signs describing Clinton in crude sexual terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is this what we are teaching our little boys?\" Packer asked. \"Is this what we're teaching these kids is an appropriate way to treat women that you don't agree with? And there hasn't been a peep from the campaign about this stuff being offensive. And, so, by not addressing it, they have encouraged it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those T-shirts aren't sold by the campaign — and the lowest-common denominator has a way of thriving on the periphery of all campaigns. But Packer and Schmidt argue Trump's own words have fostered sexism rather than tamping it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The woman's card\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, there was Trump accusing Clinton of playing the \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/04/27/475899411/3-things-to-know-about-the-woman-card-in-the-2016-election\">woman's card\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I think the only card she has is the woman's card,\" Trump said in April during a victory speech after sweeping five primaries. \"She's got nothing else going on. And frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the women's vote. And the beautiful thing is that women don't like her, OK?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He doubled down on that, telling a crowd in Spokane, Washington, a couple of weeks later: \"If she didn't play the woman's card she would have no chance, I mean zero, of winning.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton shrugged it off — and tried to use it to her advantage. \"If fighting for women's health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in,\" she said in a \u003ca href=\"http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/clinton-trump-woman-card-deal-me-in\">campaign video \u003c/a>after Trump's remarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Deal me in\" became something of a call-and-response catch phrase for Clinton. The campaign even began selling a pink $5 \"Woman Card.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I just don't think she has a presidential look'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, who has made plenty of derogatory comments about women's appearances in this campaign, \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-presidential-look-2016-9\">said last month \u003c/a>of Clinton, \"I just don't think she has a presidential look. And you need a presidential look. You have to get the job done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked directly about his comment that he didn't think Clinton \"has a presidential look\" during the first debate, Trump again said, \"She doesn't have the look,\" before immediately pivoting to talking about her \"stamina.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>'\u003cstrong>I wasn't impressed'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was the time, at a rally, where he was talking about the second debate, the town-hall style event where the candidates walked around on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She walks in front of me, you know, and when she walked in front of me, believe me, I wasn't impressed,\" he said to hoots and laughter from the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11143657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/gettyimages-615757104_wide-8f1552e2fa535c5b964571a50d86faa83a38ec21-e1477322871985.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11143657\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/gettyimages-615757104_wide-8f1552e2fa535c5b964571a50d86faa83a38ec21-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump walk off stage Wednesday after the third and final presidential debate at the University of Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nev.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump walk off stage Wednesday after the third and final presidential debate at the University of Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada. \u003ccite>(Robyn Beck/AFP-Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Clinton occasionally nods to her potential at making history, but she studiously avoids talking about the sexism directed at her.

Since the first debate, and especially since the leaked audio of Trump bragging about groping and kissing women, Clinton's lead has expanded. It's been because of those very kinds of women — white, suburban, college-educated. It's why places like Pennsylvania, Colorado and New Hampshire have moved more strongly to her corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, when Clinton ran in the primary, there were certainly \u003cem>signs\u003c/em> of sexism. \"Saturday Night Live\" joked about a perceived double standard she seemed to face in the debates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, if you wanted to, you could buy a pantsuit-wearing Hillary Clinton nutcracker.

It's a slogan that's been found on T-shirts at many Trump rallies since \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2016/04/25/trump-clinton-misogynistic-merch/\">at least March\u003c/a>. There are bumper stickers for sale with the slogan, even a \u003ca href=\"https://saucedistributor.com/trump-that-bitch-presidential-hot-sauce.html\">bottle of hot sauce\u003c/a>. (Clinton has said she \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/01/21/463858189/hillary-clintons-elixir-can-a-hot-pepper-a-day-boost-immunity\">carries hot sauce with her wherever she goes \u003c/a>because of the immune-boosting properties of hot peppers.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps it was inevitable that with the first female nominee of a major political party on the ballot, the race for president would have undercurrents of sexism. But what wasn't inevitable is just how out in the open it has been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is nearly impossible to separate out everything underlying this moment in history. Would this type of vitriol be directed at \u003cem>any\u003c/em> woman trying to reach the highest office in the land? Or is there something unique about Clinton, who has been on the political stage disrupting norms and drawing ire from Republicans for decades? And what about her opponent? If Clinton were running against someone else, would this still be happening?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'Is this what we are teaching our little boys?'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much responsibility does Donald Trump have to bear? For strategists aligned with the previous two Republican presidential nominees, quite a bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think that Jeb would have allowed that — or any of the other candidates,\" said Katie Packer, who was deputy campaign manager for Republican Mitt Romney in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Schmidt, a senior adviser to John McCain's 2008 campaign, also blamed Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's created a permissible environment for this,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schmidt and Packer are not Trump fans. But they speak from the experience of being part of the rigors of campaigns with GOP nominees for president that both also ran against another candidate whose very presence on the ballot challenged a historical norm — Barack Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schmidt remembers a famous moment from 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was anger,\" Schmidt said, \"and there was angst and, as Sen. Obama was moving towards election to the presidency, the crowds became angrier frankly at the end of the campaign.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, a woman stood up at and said, \"I can't trust Obama. I have read about him, and he's not, he's not, he's a -- he's an Arab.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain stopped her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He \"stepped forward towards her, and he said, 'No ma'am,' \" Schmidt recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain went on, \"He's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCain never became beloved by the base the same way his running mate, Sarah Palin, did, and that was, in part, because of his willingness do things like that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This time around, perhaps unsurprisingly, there's been no moment like that — though there have been plenty of opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Packer points to pictures of parents standing with their children at rallies with a variety of shirts and signs describing Clinton in crude sexual terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Is this what we are teaching our little boys?\" Packer asked. \"Is this what we're teaching these kids is an appropriate way to treat women that you don't agree with? And there hasn't been a peep from the campaign about this stuff being offensive. And, so, by not addressing it, they have encouraged it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those T-shirts aren't sold by the campaign — and the lowest-common denominator has a way of thriving on the periphery of all campaigns. But Packer and Schmidt argue Trump's own words have fostered sexism rather than tamping it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The woman's card\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, there was Trump accusing Clinton of playing the \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/04/27/475899411/3-things-to-know-about-the-woman-card-in-the-2016-election\">woman's card\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Well, I think the only card she has is the woman's card,\" Trump said in April during a victory speech after sweeping five primaries. \"She's got nothing else going on. And frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the women's vote. And the beautiful thing is that women don't like her, OK?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He doubled down on that, telling a crowd in Spokane, Washington, a couple of weeks later: \"If she didn't play the woman's card she would have no chance, I mean zero, of winning.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clinton shrugged it off — and tried to use it to her advantage. \"If fighting for women's health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in,\" she said in a \u003ca href=\"http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/clinton-trump-woman-card-deal-me-in\">campaign video \u003c/a>after Trump's remarks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Deal me in\" became something of a call-and-response catch phrase for Clinton. The campaign even began selling a pink $5 \"Woman Card.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>'I just don't think she has a presidential look'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump, who has made plenty of derogatory comments about women's appearances in this campaign, \u003ca href=\"http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-presidential-look-2016-9\">said last month \u003c/a>of Clinton, \"I just don't think she has a presidential look. And you need a presidential look. You have to get the job done.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked directly about his comment that he didn't think Clinton \"has a presidential look\" during the first debate, Trump again said, \"She doesn't have the look,\" before immediately pivoting to talking about her \"stamina.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>'\u003cstrong>I wasn't impressed'\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there was the time, at a rally, where he was talking about the second debate, the town-hall style event where the candidates walked around on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She walks in front of me, you know, and when she walked in front of me, believe me, I wasn't impressed,\" he said to hoots and laughter from the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11143657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/gettyimages-615757104_wide-8f1552e2fa535c5b964571a50d86faa83a38ec21-e1477322871985.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11143657\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/gettyimages-615757104_wide-8f1552e2fa535c5b964571a50d86faa83a38ec21-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump walk off stage Wednesday after the third and final presidential debate at the University of Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nev.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump walk off stage Wednesday after the third and final presidential debate at the University of Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada. \u003ccite>(Robyn Beck/AFP-Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Clinton occasionally nods to her potential at making history, but she studiously avoids talking about the sexism directed at her. Instead she deflects, talking about sexism and chauvinism aimed at others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Backlash with women\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Packer, who has made a specialty of helping Republicans better communicate with female voters, said women do notice Trump's language and recognize it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The kinds of women that Trump would need to win in a general election really recoil at that,\" Packer said, \"and it's the kind of thing that causes them to want to defend Hillary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that has shown up in the polls. Since the first debate, and especially since the leaked audio of Trump bragging about groping and kissing women, Clinton's lead has expanded. It's been because of those very kinds of women — white, suburban, college-educated. It's why places like Pennsylvania, Colorado and New Hampshire have moved more strongly to her corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, when Clinton ran in the primary, there were certainly \u003cem>signs\u003c/em> of sexism. \"Saturday Night Live\" joked about a perceived double standard she seemed to face in the debates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, if you wanted to, you could buy a pantsuit-wearing Hillary Clinton nutcracker. (Actually, it is \u003ca href=\"http://www.sears.com/eagleview-usa-hillary-clinton-political-novelty-nutcracker-2016/p-SPM8050066527?sid=IDx20110310x00001i&gclid=CjwKEAjw-abABRDquOTJi8qdojwSJABt1S1OsOSSTRBedURLf4Ki1jJ_3WtJVUDaffdHW8wd1P9cDxoCRBXw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds\" target=\"_blank\">back for 2016\u003c/a> with a longer suit jacket to match Clinton's new style).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this time — as she gets closer to that highest, hardest glass ceiling — it's even more out in the open, said Debbie Walsh, who heads the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is ironic in so many ways,\" Walsh said, \"that the person that this woman is running against kind of is almost a caricature of this uber-masculine guy with just tremendous bravado.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So maybe it was fitting that in the waning minutes of the final debate, as Clinton was answering a question about Social Security — and again getting in a dig at her opponent's taxes — Trump would interrupt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Such a nasty woman,\" he interjected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And he’s made up his mind about which presidential candidate will change that. On the wall he’s got a photo of himself smiling next to Donald Trump. He’s got quite a few Trump signs, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've met with Trump three different times,\" Bourdeau said. \"We had a very frank conversation.

If I win, believe me we’re gonna start opening up the water so you can have your farmers survive.\" He got huge cheers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has been to the valley twice in the past few months, and has broken fundraising records.

I found Democrats and Republicans in the crowd, including one Republican man who was not keen on Trump. Anthony Hill was drinking a beer with a friend near the food stands. He \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">said it bothers him that the nominee has no political experience. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"\u003c/span>I mean, I’m conservative,\" he told me, \"but it’s Donald Trump. He needs to go back to 'Celebrity Apprentice.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also met a guy named Steven. He asked me not to use his last name, but he told me he grew up in a small town here in the valley and he was raised Republican. \"I may be Hispanic, but I'm American,\" he said. \"The U.S. flag is my flag. The Mexican flag is not my flag. That’s just how I see things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steven said that’s why he’s not bothered by Trump’s comments about Mexican rapists and his hard-line stance on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steven’s not exactly advertising his support for Trump, though. \"I keep it a secret,\" he said, \"because being from the valley, being brown and being openly gay and voting for Trump is not the thing. It’s not!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I told him I thought a rural Central Valley town would be a fairly conservative place. So he explained: \"Because in the valley, it's mainly Latino. That's what it is.\" The Central Valley does have a big Latino population -- and one that’s growing. And Latinos overwhelmingly vote Democratic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, at my next stop -- a naturalization ceremony in Fresno -- I met a Mexican immigrant who also supports Trump.

I ended up in William Bourdeau’s truck, driving down a gravel road in Coalinga, surrounded by bare fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These fields have produced many, many crops over many years,\" Bourdeau said, listing off a dozen fruits and vegetables. \"But they're all fallow now.\" Bourdeau is vice president of Harris Farms, one of the largest agricultural outfits in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/289389481&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/289389481'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in his office, Bourdeau told me his biggest concern this election is water.

I found Democrats and Republicans in the crowd, including one Republican man who was not keen on Trump. Anthony Hill was drinking a beer with a friend near the food stands. He \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">said it bothers him that the nominee has no political experience. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"\u003c/span>I mean, I’m conservative,\" he told me, \"but it’s Donald Trump. He needs to go back to 'Celebrity Apprentice.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I also met a guy named Steven. He asked me not to use his last name, but he told me he grew up in a small town here in the valley and he was raised Republican. \"I may be Hispanic, but I'm American,\" he said. \"The U.S. flag is my flag. The Mexican flag is not my flag. That’s just how I see things.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steven said that’s why he’s not bothered by Trump’s comments about Mexican rapists and his hard-line stance on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steven’s not exactly advertising his support for Trump, though. \"I keep it a secret,\" he said, \"because being from the valley, being brown and being openly gay and voting for Trump is not the thing. It’s not!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I told him I thought a rural Central Valley town would be a fairly conservative place. So he explained: \"Because in the valley, it's mainly Latino. That's what it is.\" The Central Valley does have a big Latino population -- and one that’s growing. And Latinos overwhelmingly vote Democratic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, at my next stop -- a naturalization ceremony in Fresno -- I met a Mexican immigrant who also supports Trump. Israel Cervantes is an industrial mechanic who has lived in the United States for 25 years. Now he finally feels like he has a voice in the political process.\u003cb> \u003c/b>\"I feel like I'm fighting for what I want,\" he told me. \"I want security. I want safety. I want peace.

The vast majority of House Republicans represent safe GOP districts and therefore have little political incentive to distance themselves from Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who represents a safe Republican district, told leadership he was disappointed in them. But other more moderate members, such as Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent, thought Trump should step aside. Dent predicted that more damaging information could still come out in the next 29 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., urged lawmakers to stick together, according to another source on the call. And National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., said that the ground had shifted following the weekend's events and to keep looking at their polling numbers over the past few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican leadership recognizes that for the larger GOP as a whole — and members in competitive districts — the signs aren't good. Just as Ryan was informing members of his decision, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll came out showing Clinton with an 11-point lead over Trump, 46 percent-35 percent. That same survey gave Democrats a 7-point edge in the congressional generic ballot, 49 percent-42 percent — numbers that haven't been seen since the government shutdown in September 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That poll was conducted after the release of the lewd video, but before Sunday's debate, where Trump tried to stop some of the bleeding. But the bitter debate likely did little to change voters' feelings about the GOP nominee on the whole. He showed little contrition for his actions 11 years ago, explaining the comments away as \"locker room talk.\" And Trump trotted out women who had accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault, and he claimed Clinton had done \"far worse\" to women — a strategy that GOP focus groups have shown backfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

In the Senate, however, Democrats need to flip only five seats (or four with a Clinton victory) to take back control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while many of the more than 30 Republicans who called for Trump to drop out came from competitive districts, not all lawmakers were ready to dump Trump en masse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another source on the call said many lawmakers were \"really fired up\" and wanted to stick with the GOP nominee. The vast majority of House Republicans represent safe GOP districts and therefore have little political incentive to distance themselves from Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, who represents a safe Republican district, told leadership he was disappointed in them. But other more moderate members, such as Pennsylvania Rep. Charlie Dent, thought Trump should step aside. Dent predicted that more damaging information could still come out in the next 29 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., urged lawmakers to stick together, according to another source on the call. And National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., said that the ground had shifted following the weekend's events and to keep looking at their polling numbers over the past few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican leadership recognizes that for the larger GOP as a whole — and members in competitive districts — the signs aren't good. Just as Ryan was informing members of his decision, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll came out showing Clinton with an 11-point lead over Trump, 46 percent-35 percent. That same survey gave Democrats a 7-point edge in the congressional generic ballot, 49 percent-42 percent — numbers that haven't been seen since the government shutdown in September 2013.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That poll was conducted after the release of the lewd video, but before Sunday's debate, where Trump tried to stop some of the bleeding. But the bitter debate likely did little to change voters' feelings about the GOP nominee on the whole. He showed little contrition for his actions 11 years ago, explaining the comments away as \"locker room talk.\" And Trump trotted out women who had accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual assault, and he claimed Clinton had done \"far worse\" to women — a strategy that GOP focus groups have shown backfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.
