CWPODCAST45 - with Paul Mitchell

Episode Summary

Will California catch the wave? Last week’s elections in Virginia and elsewhere can only be categorized as a Democratic wave - a wave that swamped Republican candidates in once-safe GOP seats. Energized Democrats are hoping to retake congress in 2018, and have their sights set on seven California house districts which voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 but are represented by Republicans. California political data whiz Paul Mitchell joins us to talk about Tuesday's results and what they do - or don't - portend for California in 2018.
