Go for it. He’s not going to carry California. But any efforts which help the moribund GOP in California can only help build for the future.
It’s hard to believe that places such as Orange County, CA, were once so strongly Republican. Today, all of the Congressional districts in Orange County have Democrat congressmen.
Winning those states? Hell no.
Using them as an example? Sure. By all means, hang California’s craziness around the Democratic Party’s neck. Ask them when they’ll start pushing for taxpayer-funded health care for illegals like California Democrats are now doing. It’s inevitable they’ll start doing it one day, they’re just not quite there yet.
Maybe fundraise in CA, but dont waste time campaigning there.
2020 campaign? He needs to get into campaign mode now, hitting the issues hard. Personal attacks like “pencil neck” will get him nowhere.
He should make a play everywhere. Thats how you win.. not this stupid Carl rove thread the needle nonsense that they have been doing for decades now.
With that said I doubt you will see them flip CA or NY..
But maybe other blue states arent as blue as they seem.. maybe they have large disenfranchised voters who stopped voting when the D party went too far left for them than he can get... just like he did in the rust belt.
If those states weren’t rigged I’d say go for it. It would be like trying to win Philadelphia. Robot voters.
Waste of time. Push for NH & Nevada & keep what you got in 2016.
AZ is key.... maybe NV - the rest is hopeless (incl CO)
All that, of course, depends on an election that is as "honest" as the last two. That won't happen. The last two were trial runs of overt chicanery in test markets to see how much the SocialDemocrats could get away with. They learned that the sky is no limit and they will act accordingly. The SocDem cities will provide enough unicorn votes to overcome Republican majorities in their states and it will all be accepted as just "tough luck" by the Republicans.
Absolutely. We need to be on the offense in blue states. You had better believe that the Democrats are working tirelessly to flip Texas blue. Eventually, they will succeed, and we will be toast unless we take some of their states.
Now, the insanely unpopular governor is Democrat sanctuary-state, high tax idiot Phil Murphy. Since he won, the Democrat state party leadership stopped talking to him, the unions hate him, the people hate him.
It will rattle the race if Trump makes a big play for the state, acting like he knows he'll win it.
Like the country, the Dem strength lies in a few urban pockets. Depress that vote with an all-white or half-gay ticket, and Trump's got a shot.
“What the hell do you have to lose?”
I’ve been assured that Oregon is too smart to vote for Trump.
PDJT should go after these ballot harvesting cheaters in Califartia, and win despite them. Oregon and Washington states should be in play.
The Presidents record is actually impeccable, given that the Dems and the media have tied one hand behind the President.
When it comes to President Trump, polls are not accurate.
Every state should be in play to go Republican red, the left wing liberal fascists of the whacky Dem party have made Republicans able to be eminently winning in all constituencies.
More so for the President.
The West Coast is gone! Possibly forever!
If President Trump can ignite enough voters in these states to come out and vote Republican anyways. It may have a cumulative effect on the majority number of votes cast, thus causing these blue states who have decided to award their electoral vote to the majority will be forced by their own laws to give all of their electoral votes to President Trump. Wouldn’t that be something to behold.
I’d love to see him pull one of those 10,000 people rallies in those states.
If nothing else, I think it would panic the Democrats into spending assets in a “sure” state. He might not win, but they would have peed away money they might have spent in a red state.
Then again, you just don’t know many Republicans, or people who think like them, who have said “To Hell with it” and not voted. They might “come out of the closet”.
money spent in battle-field states only ... fundraisers where ever there’s money ... period ... both parties will be doing this for President ...
Ive lived in California all my life..unfortunately this state is gone..sorry, President Trump has zero chance of winning this state..its overrun with open border lovers and illegal aliens..its basically Mexifornia..could he try to do it, he can try but the state that Reagan loved so much is gone.
You have to wonder whether it is worth it to have an intervention into these intensely blue states before they have hit rock bottom.
Several blue states have crashed and burned before, but remained resolute in their determination to remain failures and resist competent and honest government.
