I live here, and this is not a state you can win with Twitter and rallies. It is 54 separate elections, and for most of the state, you really have to know where the Republicans are and how to connect with them. For example, the latest Field poll shows Trump doing really well in Orange County and San Diego county - lots of GOP voters of the Schwarzenegger/Wilson variety, but only a handful of congressional districts. On the other hand, Cruz is leading by quite a bit in LA county - most district there only have a few thousand voters, but there are 15-20 congressional districts in the area. So if Trump wins big in the areas with lots of moderate GOP voters but few delegates, while Cruz wins big in the area with few GOP voters but lots of delegates - who has the advantage?
I guess we will find out soon. After Cruz sustains a drubbing in the next 5 or so primaries he is going to be mathematically out of the race. I wonder how many of the good GOP voters in CA are going to wasn’t to waste their vote? Most people like to vote for the winner.
