Waste of money and time.
Not necessarily. If Trump and other republicans start to campaign in CA and expose the problems caused by democrats they can turn a few votes.
I seriously doubt they could win the state in a presidential election, but if they can turn losing by 4.3 million votes as they did in 2016 into only losing by 2 million votes, this ridiculous talk of a national popular vote will go away rather quickly.
“Waste of money and time.”
Maybe in the past. Now with the homeless situation giving the gift of feces and needles in the streets, and the immigration situation bringing in disgusting diseases and sucking up the healthcare and education legals should have, things could be different. I don’t think it would take a lot to flip some — maybe many — people in the cities.
