Letters to the Editor: Is California a liability for Democrats nationally? Readers debate

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Remember, in Congress she voted with Trump most of the time.
36% : Polls during the past few years have shown that a strong majority of Americans -- a larger share of voters than the proportion that backed Trump -- want reduced levels of immigration and oppose sanctuary-state and -city policies.To the editor: While your headline suggests Democrats are looking in the mirror, the article also quotes Republicans about what went wrong.
34% : Trump ran as a white Christian nationalist -- that's identity politics.
30% : Some honest, hard-working Americans voted for Trump due to their concerns about immigration.
26% : Did they not know or care that a bipartisan measure to address border security could have passed Congress earlier this year, but Trump killed it because he wanted to campaign on immigration?
