California and (for instance) North Dakota each get the same number of votes if a presidential election goes to the House. It’s not done proportionally.
Bloomberg has zero chance. He’s a big time gun grabber and that eliminates him from 40% of the population immediately.
And that includes liberals. I know many liberals who are pro-gun.
That, BTW, is why gun legislation stalls. There are as many of them (as pro-gunners) as there are of us (as pro-gunners).
