Electorally, barring a miracle of biblical proportions, California will do what political analysts say it will do: and that is, vote blue.

Electorally, barring a miracle of biblical proportions, California will do what political analysts say it will do: and that is, vote blue. Hillary Clinton is up over Donald Trump by anywhere between 15 and 25 points in the state, according to the latest polls. Neither candidate has much of a connection to California. Clinton is from Chicago, lived in Arkansas for a couple decades and served as Senator from New York. But Clinton has gone the President Obama route and used California as a fundraising ATM of late. And tapping into celebrity friends for help. Trump is from New York and that’s where the base of his operations is. But his company has only limited investments in California.
