Zakaria: California is "Case Study in Failed Governance"
Description: Fareed Zakaria says California is a "case study in failed governance."
He says Democrats have struggled to provide "public order" on a local level.
Far too often, he says, they've prioritized the rights of the homeless over the rights of home owners.
"The Democratic Party needs to think with it's head and not just with it's heart."
So...why do Democrats keep winning?
"What has happened with partisan alignment now is it's almost tribal."
What can be done to break the cycle?
Zakaria says San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is a "good example" of how to make government work more efficiently.
The moderate Democrat with a business background has focused on improving public safety and economic revitilization.
"You can tackle these in a way that's not inhumane but does solve the problem."
