There are a lot of people in California both republican and democrat. However, those millions of republicans have zero chance in changing the presidential bias of the State. Hillary beat Trump, 8,753,788 to 4,483,810. The number of republican votes would need to double to even make the race close in California. 😦

That’s one way to look at it. It’s also a great argument for why the electoral college is so necessary. Without it virtually all of America would be slaves to the whims of a few States.

pretty much, yep. Cali and NYC. That's the popular vote. Which is why we have the electoral college.

I have no illusions about Trump winning California, but would like point out that many republicans in this state either believed the MSM narrative around Trump, were shamed into not supporting him, or fell into the Romney/Ryan establishment thinking on less than enthusiastic support for him. 4 years later, the results speak for themselves, and I do believe Trump’s support in CA will grow significantly, while Biden’s is no where near as enthusiastic as Hillary’s.

My personal experience from 2016, as someone who never liked Trump as a personality, was that I didn’t think that he actually believed what he was saying, would fold under presser (like Arnie), and would not govern as a conservative. I was very wrong.

We will never know. We get flooded with undocumented ballots sent to everyone breathing, and their pets. No ID’s, they can print as many as they need. We will never know how many republicans voted and had their ballots tossed, goodness knows my mail carrier knows I’m a Trump supporter, I get enough campaign mail.

The farther the pendulum swings, the more force it swings back with. Don’t give up completely on us...
