@badminton Beating Trump in the election isnt the real problem. He is more hated than he was last time.. Stopping him being the Republican nominee is the issue. And do Democrats really want to do that??😷

@badminton Trump has no chance of winning California anyway, so it doesn't matter if he's on the ballot or not.

@LeopoldBloom But this is to elect the Republican candidate. It does matter..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman You're talking about the primary and choosing the nominee, although Trump is so far ahead of the pack, I'm not sure he needs California. The Colorado Republican party is exploring the idea of a caucus, which they say isn't bound by the 14th amendment the way a primary would be, although I don't see how that matters.

@LeopoldBloom Yep..As I have said earlier, I dont have dog in this fight. At my distance another Trump term makes little long run difference..But there just isnt a good news story in this for Americans. First the elephant in the room of the US hollowed out economy running on debt.. (And thats the seriously important one) And it will be directed by either a vengeful maniac who will line his own pockets with whats left , or a guy who look sadly past his use by date now, let alone in four more bad years..😷

Actually, as Trump would say, California is "huge."
It's a big batch of delegates that would be denied to him.
If he doesn't win the nomination, he's not going to win the general.
As if it's a pro-tracted fight to get the nomination, the knives will be out for the convention if there's no guaranteed nominee.
