    The panel on The Five reacted to reports that the Democrats'
    expected "blue wave" of victories is "crashing" into the
    California surf.

    Dana Perino said that President Donald Trump's rising popularity
    in the Golden State has thrown four House races in Orange
    County, Calif. into jeopardy for the Democrats.

    Due to the state's "jungle primary" system where the top two
    vote-getters make the general election ballot irrespective of
    the party, Democrats could be "shut out" of any number of those
    key races.

    "Good news for America is bad news for the Democrats," Jesse
    Watters said.

    Kimberly Guilfoyle said the state's governor's race could also
    be an unexpected problem for the Democrats.

    She warned that Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), who is seeking term-
    limited Gov. Jerry Brown's (D) seat, could run be running too
    far to the left of even some Democrats. Newsom is Guilfoyle's ex-
    husband.

    Businessman John Cox (R) is currently running second in the
    polls, Guilfoyle said, noting that Cox has been endorsed by
    Trump.

    Other candidates in the jungle primary include former Los
    Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D) and State Assemblyman
    Travis Allen (R-Huntington Beach).

    The panel also discussed how California Congresswoman Nancy
    Pelosi's (D) "crumbs" remark has rung hollow for some of her
    neighbors.
