Oh my, look at all Der Trumpenfuhrer's supporters gloating over his winning five primaries....on to California...maybe.
First. The California Republican Primary is a "Closed" Primary, non-Republican Voters cannot "Crossover" to vote for the Dumph.
Second. Even if if Dumb Donnie wins the California Primary, he will only win 10-Delegates of the 172-Delegates outright.
The remaining 162-Delegates will be awarded based on the top vote getter in each of the 53-California Congressional Districts. In each of those districts there will 3-Delegates and only 3-Delegates up for grabs. The top vote getter will win those 3-Delegates or a portion of those delegates. If Donnie loses a Congressional District even a Conservative District, he will not with or will only win a portion of the 3-Delegates available under Republican Primary rules.
This will mean that say in very Conservative Districts in San Diego or Simi Valley Der Dummy will only win a portion of the 3-delegates available , just as he would win a portion in Liberal Districts such as San Francisco County or Marin County. Each Congressional District will award delegates based on who wins that district.
The fight for Delegates in California will take place in the in your face, grass roots level of California Politics. Which I have been actively involved for over 30+years. Unlike Der Dummy, I know California Politics and I know California Voters.
Add to this mix the fact that Der Trumpenfuhrer has successfully marginalized the Latino Vote with his unsubstantiated claims that undocumented workers are all "Murders and Rapists" will work against him...even with the more Conservative Latino Voters in California. Latino/Hispanic-American Voters are a force in California Politics. Hispanic-Americans are the Majority in California. By alienating this voter rich block in California, Der Trumpenfurhrer is only hurting himself.
Third. The Female Vote in California...Women Voters in California are a majority as well. The Der Donald and his misogynist attacks on Women will seriously hurt him, even Women who identify as Republican will vote against dumb Donnie.
Fourth. Only 27% of California Voters identify/register as Republican. With only 27% of Voters Statewide, a "Closed" Primary will only serve to hurt Republicans in our state. There are no elected Republicans serving in Statewide Constitutional Office in California. These offices, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Insurance Commissioner, Secretary of State, etc. are all held by Democrats and right now Republicans are in the minority in the California State Assembly and California State Senate. California Governor Brown has signed State Budgets with a surplus for the first time in years. Former Republican Governor Schwarzenegger left California with budget deficits and his former Lieutenant-Governor Able Maldonado is persona non-grata in the California Republican Party after his "Top Two Vote Getter" was signed into law. Neither the Democratic Party or the Republican Party supported this shit storm. That translates to, in many cases Democrat vs. Democrat and Republican vs. Republican in certain races. There is right now the very distinct possibility that there will be not Republican Candidate for Barbara Boxer's Seat in the November General Election. As it stands now, California A.G. Kamala Harris will face Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez for that seat. No Republican running a at-large Senate Seat only hurts Republicans. For all the bitching Republicans have done about Senator Boxer, there will be no Republican running for her seat in November...because a California Republican thought his idea about the top two vote getters was a good idea is blowing up in the face of California Republicans.
Yes, Trumpenfuhrer supporters...yes. Your Seig Heil Celebrations will turn to mud in your mouth. The one candidate guaranteed to lose to Hillary Clinton and as an extra attraction will destroy the Republican Party has won 5-States.
Donald will lose in November.
Your party will left in broken, bloody, beaten heap.
I'm loving it.
