California, where the GOP is so weak that it just got locked out of a Senate election because it didn’t have the numbers to place a Republican in the top two in a jungle primary.
I think Trump can win the election. I … do not think he’s going to muster a Reaganesque landslide, which is what would be in the offing if California and New Jersey end up in play. If you disagree, odds are you’re either (a) guilty of an even more insular groupthink than the pundits who keep dismissing Trump’s chances or (b) convinced that what he said today is just idle pep-talk blather that he doesn’t really believe and which shouldn’t be taken terribly seriously. Although, if you’re in the second group, how do you explain the fact that he just plunked down money to poll New York? He really does seem to believe that he’s going to compete in the strongest Democratic strongholds, which is an interesting way to allocate resources for a campaign that’s sure to be operating at a major financial disadvantage. Imagine being a donor sitting in the room when Trump said this, knowing that he was about to ask you for a six- or seven-figure check to help him take the fight to Hillary in San Francisco....

basically, after, um, amnesty in ‘86...Bush won a close race in California in ‘88.
Since the illegals invaded....it went Demon Rat.
Lather, Rinse, Repeat in every other state, right?
We are our own worse enemy.
Unfortunately I think New Jersey is doubtful for Trump. There are just too many people with their hands out and guilt ridden rich liberals here. The democrat “get out the vote” machine in the urban areas is also very impressive.
Trump’s campaign in NJ also seems very disorganized. My wife volunteered weeks ago and has never been contacted to do anything.
Even though the majority of NJ voters are Independents, the Republican candidate has a lot of catching up to do.
Democrat primary votes - 877,500 (554,250 Clinton, 323,250 Sanders)
Republican primary votes - 442,700 (356,700 Trump, 59,500 Kasich, 27,500 Cruz)
It gets real irritating listing to these guys just ceding territory to Democrats right off the bat, as if that is a sound strategy.
And these are the same people that complain about the GOPe doing the same.

Yep - the battle cry seems to be - "We can't win so let's lose big time".....
Was so excited when I heard Katy Tur report this on MSNBC yesterday afternoon, especially because she mentioned my state of Maryland.
It motivated me to call my Governor’s office and plead for Governor Larry Hogan—who sat on the sidelines during the primary—to offer resources to rally Maryland for Trump!!!
I told them that Trump had compelled me to switch parties and implored them to get engaged in our imperative battle to save our country!! I highlighted my grave concerns over national security and bringing back good jobs!! The lady seemed receptive and took my name, etc. I pray I was successful in getting Hogan to help Mr. Trump MAGA!!!
It would be an enormous source of pride and an amazing honor to see my states 10 electoral votes in Trump’s column in November!!!
MD might give him a run for his money. We now have a Republican Governor, who absolutely demolished the liberal Lt. Gov who was running against him.
He is streamlining the state Government, lowered as many fees as he controls, gotten the budget on track and has a 70% approval rating.
During the riots in Baltimore, he moved his office to Baltimore and spent countless hours walking the streets and meeting citizens. Mayor Space to Destroy sat in the beauty parlor or the operations center.
Oh, and in this time, he also beat cancer.
He’s not on the Trump train yet, but I assume he’ll climb aboard.
Trump should spend most of his campaign money on recruiting poll watchers and atty’s and body guards to accompany them to as many solid RAT and swing polling places in swing states as possible.
The rest should go to ads on YouTube, NOT TV, and venues for rallies which the media will cover for free.
