This is what happened in 2008 when the state was last contested: Only 7.7% seperated the top candidates. McCain take 155 delegate in California with a modest win.
Trump is going to win CA easily and by a lot.

REGIONAL BREAKDOWNS: SoCal is head over heels for Trump (Trump 49 percent; Cruz 34, Kasich 13) , Central Valley leans Trump (Trump 39, Cruz 26, Kasich 18), and Inland Empire for Cruz (Cruz, 43, Trump 30, Kasich, 9). Silicon Valley and the Bay Area? Kasich trounces Trump 43-36, with Cruz at 14.

It is everywhere in SoCal not along the beach.
Of course Kasich leads, he’s a Democrat.
LoL highly unlikely your scenario with these numbers.
I don’t think Trump’s wealth is a problem.
It’s what he did with his money that’s a bit of a problem.
Your film of Donald meant to demonstrate his alleged mocking of a handicapped reporter with his hand waving is truly evil. If you find a video of that reporter which I saw and wiil try to post, his handicap is NOT accompanied by hand waving or speech impediments. He has one slightly immobile left arm which he holds to his body. Otherwise, his mannerisms and his speech are normal.
SHAME.
Kasich leads but Trump crushing it in Socal. Media logic.
SOCAL IS TRUMP COUNTRY BAY-BEE!!!!!!!!!
The media gave Trump billions of free commercials.
If Cruz had received a fraction of that, Trump wouldn’t even be in the race.
reminds me of the old Soviet Union newspaper reporting about a track meet that involved both the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.. The U.S. got first place and the Soviets took 2nd place.
It was reported as " the The U.S.S.R. takes a close 2nd place finish, and the U.S. finished next to last"
I think it is known to be RED-NECK.
You may win the poll for the most crazed of the crazed.
Getting rid of Cruz will be better than winning WWII?
No wait, you have won. Congrats.
1st ballot delegate win is Checkers. 2nd and any further Roll Call ballots are Chess.
Not counting the faltering downward trend of Trump’s campaign, his current chances of locking up 1237 by the Convention are 90% unlikely and dwindling by the day.
Cruz will win 2nd ballot.

It is not sparsely populated. It’s the 13th largest metro area in the U.S.
It’s humor.
While I’m not a fan of Trump, I wish him well in life. Although he’s not my first choice for president, he has done good deeds for others, and for that, I salute him.
You illustrate another point about the Trumpers.
On another thread we were discussing the extreme adoration to the point of idolatry.
Not only is Trump worshipped, but anyone he dislikes is instantly hated and reviled.
Good example: Megyn Kelly
General opinion here (and elsewhere) of Megyn Kelly, AT (before Trump)
Liked her on Fox News
Familiar with her but didn’t like or dislike.
Another Fox babe.
Didn’t care for her but no strong feelings
After Trump: Megyn is evil incarnate and needs to burn in hell after being tortured.
See what I mean?
Yes, and reports say that Mr. Trump has approximately zero "ground game" in California -- plenty of amateur volunteers but no professional staff for any of those 53 entirely separate district elections.
So it would seem that Consiglieri Manaforte has a very big task ahead, because it looks as if the primary contest will finally be decided in the Golden State. If Mr. Trump comes out of California with 1237 delegates, he wins on the first ballot. But if he comes out with 1236 or less, he apparently would have no path to victory.
It would be simpler if all states did it the same, but we still believe in states’ rights, yeah?
I hate it that the primary process is drawn out but it is good for Ted Cruz because Trump was so much more popular early on than he is today, he might have won.
Now, there seems to be no reasonable scenario that has Trump getting 1237.
In comparison with the rest of the state polled here it is the least populated. Cruz gets toasted.
... sort of like Cruz supporters’ ugly reaction to Sarah Palin endorsing Trump?
