Hillary Clinton still way ahead in California, but she’s slipping

Even in California, Hillary Clinton has slipped.

It would be amazing if diversity of thought were ever considered here along with melanin.

It has never been about "diversity" at all, whether diversity of background, ethnicity, religion, or otherwise. It has always been about the destruction of a culture that they see as the root of all evil. Easily led, and easily influenced, people will go along with the rhetoric-of-the-day, and mindlessly spout the slogans of diversity, but the driving force behind it has nothing to do with any kind of diversity.

Fair point. That could be very bad idea.

Hillary is spending heavily on TV ads in California... I am not sure why she is doing so, if California is so heavily liberal...

I suspect that when a candidate--especially a Democratic candidate--says they're spending money in a particular state, some of that money is "slush." It doesn't go specifically to a TV or radio ad; instead, it goes to consultants, advisers, precinct heads and other party capos. Those people then "spread the money around" as payment for their support.

Hillary knows a presidential contest requires a little quid pro quo. She's not just buying "air time."

It's rather sickening to see how and what campaign funds are really used for--if a business did this, they'd be targeted for RICO violations.

Los Angeles .. that’s the secret to Hillary’s wins in CA.

The Hispanics will vote for any Dem .. they don’t care who it is .. because it’s the same ideology as Mexico.

The immigrants there want the free stuff.

However, after they get out of LA, you’d be surprised how productive they are; San Diego is proof.

I dont know how you computer those numbers, but I think they are misleading.

You can vote all you want in Wyoming, but wyoning will never have the 55 electoral votes California has.

So, half +1 of california population has about a 25% say in what happens in our government.

CA is Deep Blue, overrun by liberals in SF and LA.

Those pro-Democratic metropolitan areas are the reason we need Electoral College votes by Congressional District. The cities can come in with blowout numbers but it would only take that particular district. The conservative rural area would count for something, while under the current winner-take-all system, they have no voice.

I live near Nevada and see Las Vegas voting rule the whole state, and that's the norm for the others.

The stupid Governor of Pennsylvania vetoed that plan, for reasons that escape me.

Thanks Yaelle. His big rallies out here should have been an indication of more to come. If I were running I’d fire anyone saying I should avoid competing for the large electoral vote states.

Sander's was robbed that is why Hillary won that State!

The MSM came out and said that the race was over and Hillary had been nominated!

Many Sander's voters stayed home as a result.

The phony polls had Hillary easily winning the State and it came out that it was much closer then the polls had predicted.

Remember all of the States that Sander's won in that race despite the entire Establishment and DNC against him.

[fortheDeclaration]

One poll? really? She isn’t going to get either State.

I’m not seeing any Hillary stickers where I am in the San Gabriel Valley, just a smattering of Bernies. No Trump stickers of course, they don’t want their property vandalised or worse.
