Scott Shafer: 我认为加州对特朗普政府构成了真正的威胁，特朗普政府对加州采取了各种行动。例如，威胁要削减联邦资金，对来自海外的电影征收关税，试图收回普雷西迪奥信托的资金，甚至提出将恶魔岛重新变成监狱的想法。所有这些行动都对加州产生了影响，而最大的影响还在后面，例如联邦预算的削减，特别是医疗补助资金的削减，这将对加州的许多居民产生重大影响。 Marisa Lagos: 加州领导人应对特朗普的方式与之前有所不同，这与华盛顿的权力格局变化以及公众和民主党对特朗普的回应变化有关。例如，自上次特朗普任期以来，黛安·范斯坦去世，南希·佩洛西辞去了众议院民主党领袖的职务。此外，公众和民主党对特朗普的回应也有所不同，这与特朗普的获胜方式以及他上任后采取的行动有关。 Alexis Madrigal: 民主党内部存在两种不同的策略：一种是采取观望态度，另一种是积极争取民心，采取更激进的政策。 Paul: 加州民主党需要反思自身政策，了解为什么蓝领和工薪阶层会投票支持特朗普。 Farhan: 为了避免国家分裂，各方需要在某些问题上寻求中间立场。 Susan: 美国正在走向寡头政治，甚至可能走向极权主义，这需要公众的警惕和反抗。 Bill: 加州民主党应该采取更积极主动的策略，将争议问题提交最高法院，以挑战特朗普政府的政策。 Catherine: 民主党应该采取更强硬的策略，让共和党承担其政策失败的后果。

Trump has never hid his disdain for California. In his first hundred days in office, the President has gone on offense against the state on a number of key issues, from immigration to education. Scott Schafer and Marisa Lagos from KQED’s politics team are spending the week in D.C. talking with California’s elected officials. We check in about how state Democratic leaders are planning to counter Trump’s policies, how California Republicans are adjusting to the new order and who might emerge as the next voices of Democratic leadership.
