"Every time he meets with me, he asks me...'Can I win California?'" said McCarthy, a Republican from Bakersfield, at an event hosted by Politico's Playbook.
McCarthy said he replies: "Well, I don't think so. It's pretty difficult."
That's an understatement. California is one of the deepest blue states in the country. It hasn't backed a Republican for the White House since George H.W. Bush won in 1988.
The Trump team insists they'll play well in Democratic-friendly terrain like Connecticut, Oregon and New Jersey, and that Trump will campaign in blue states.

Especially when the polls tighten, Crooked Hillary will be pushed to campaign in those states. Not only will it wear her down physically (I actually hope she collapses) but the more she makes appearances, the more people realize they can't stand her (especially when she is not on a script).
They may not like their union leadership but the do like their union. When the Democrats play up the fact that Trump has spent the last year or two in court trying to prevent the employees at his Las Vegas hotel from unionizing then how well will that go over.
They may like their union, but will in most likely go for Mr. Trump.
Well that stinks! I was thinking the color of money. :-)
It ain’t gonna happen. He can win Penn, MI, IO, OH, NH, CN, and maybe WI. CA is a trap for wasting time and $$$.
Some will. But I think a lot will be turned off by Trump's anti-unionism. And I'm sure the Democrats will play that up.
I sense a split vote.
I think the union rank-and-file has been split between Republicans and Democrats for decades. It'll all depend on where that split is this time around. This is the first Republican candidate who has put his anti-union beliefs into practice.
Hillary is dull and will not enthuse the black and Hispanics she needs to actually vote. The none voters will over come the fraud
