Better historical parallel for how a 21st century California liberal/progressive politician plays in the Midwest: Jerry Brown. In his 3 runs, esp. 1992 when he was in the race from start to finish, Brown did well in New England & the West but got massacred in the Midwest & South.

The Democratic primary electorate in the Midwest & South has changed a lot since 1992, of course. But Brown's campaigns tell us more about the challenges of 2020 than Reagan or Nixon. A strong, successful California conservative would be a whole different thing.

There's a saying: Iowans built California, New Yorkers ruined it

Nixon’s father was born in OH and moved to CA before Richard was born; apparently due to being frostbitten as streetcar conductor in Columbus

Not a lot of Quakers left in California, I'd guess. Certainly not in statewide office.

I miss that California. Probably not as much as many Californians do, though.
