CA-39, not only is the area bad for Trump demographically but also with no Senate Republican running Royce and other SoCal Republicans might be in more danger than previously anticipated.
I'd agree with this.
In regards to WA-03, Trump's under performance in Vancouver might be balanced out by overperformance in places like Lewis County, and Kelso-Longview.
I agree with both points.
The only caveat on CA-39 is that Royce did quite well in the open primary. He received just over 60% of the vote.
That said, the up-ballot and down-ballot dynamics are awful for the GOP here. Not only is there no senate GOPer running but the more GOP-friendly Senate Dem is Loretta Sanchez who had previously represented portions of the district and is anathema to Orange County GOPers.
Former Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva is mounting a very aggressive comeback bid in Fullerton-based AD65 (which makes up about 1/2 of the district). Meanwhile, Dems hope to take over the overlapping state senate district. Murdock was previously mayor of Brea, one of the more republican portions of the district.
If he can stay competitive in the Orange County portions of the district, the sliver of L.A. County--the heavily Chinese-American South San Gabriel Valley neighborhoods of Hacienda Heights, Walnut, and Diamond Bar--will put him over the top.
One final note--Orange County has a fairly sizable GOP-leaning business-oriented Muslim-American community. These reliable GOP voters will definitely not be voting for Trump and Trump-enablers.
