Without Cali, Trump might have won the popularity contest.
No, without California, Trump would have won the national popular vote by 1.7 million votes. California provided M’lady with a 4.5 million vote win and ALL of her 2.8 million vote lead in the national popular vote and they are STILL COUNTING six weeks after the election! What has happened to this beautiful state is really amazing and depressing. Go to San Francisco sometime; still remarkably scenic, great restaurants. But you will smell urine when you walk out of the BART; you will see bums defecating where they live, on the street, in the heart of the financial district. And the city does nothing to stop them, in many ways it funds and otherwise encourages them to engage in such antisocial, animalistic conduct.
