This is the same guy who said Jeb could win California because he had a Hispanic wife.

Mark Halperin is one of the best in the biz.  He was dead wrong about Carson though.  Thought he was cleverer than he turned out to be.

That Trump can win California seems not even worth saying given that he's up 54-20 in the new SurveyUSA poll.

He means in November which would likely mean a 10-15 blowout, in other words impossible unless Hillary gets indicted

He was talking about the general election, not the primary.

His predictions are laughable, but his detailed post-election books (Game Change, etc) are good. I can't wait to he writes the 2016 one. He clearly is working on it, seeing as he tried to hunt down the obvious Jeb! plant who asked the Obama/Muslim question in New Hampshire.

Oh, well in that case, he's wrong, but Halperin often throws out provocative-but-not-entirely-outlandish ideas like this.  Obama won California 60-37, if illegal immigration becomes a big enough issue Trump could narrow that gap.  But a landslide Trump victory is much more likely to come from working-class voters in New York, Michigan and Pennsylvania

Obviously, this is going to be the map:



Trump wins (New Hampshire is won by the Angry Woman Party and Colorado is won by the Pot Party).

What he said is Trump can't win it but he can make Clinton spend resources there.  He's very wrong about that too, but it's not the same level of crazy.

Is he predicting chunks of California to fall into the Pacific ocean? I am not seeing how Trump makes the state in anyway competitive.

I live here.  Trump is not a good fit for the state.  At all.  CA will trend D, if anything.

He can probably win California, Kentucky, and California, Missouri. Probably not California, Pennsylvania because of the university there, but I guess maybe it's not completely impossible.

The only serious spending in California will be in the Senate race and a few house races.

Mark halperin is a borderline mentally retarded stenographer who writes solely about totally unimportant though juicy horse race/gossip.  It is known, khaleesi.

All that said, Game change and double down are incredibly fun books even if they are dumb horse race crap, and H+H did a masterful job of sucking up and getting people to spill the beans/gossip.

Why didn't you post this as a poll?

This should have been posted as a poll.


I like polls.
