http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_29587964/california-could-be-critical-to-stopping-donald-trumpUnable once again to turn Donald Trump into "a loser," Republican leaders are girding for a long, desperate and possibly futile fight to deny the brash New Yorker enough delegates to claim the party's nomination.
And that could easily make delegate-rich California a key battleground -- where residents would be bombarded with political ads and robocalls, à la Iowa and New Hampshire, before the June 7 primary....
In that scenario, the Golden State's primary would likely become the establishment's last stand.

"Once you get to June, California plays a gigantic role," said David Wasserman, an analyst with the widely respected Cook Political Report. "There is virtually no scenario to stop Trump without keeping him from winning a large number of delegates in California."

the population or clout of California. We need a national primary.

(278 posts)3. Why as Democrats do we want to stop
Drumpf (his actual surname), polls show either Hillary or Bernie beating him in November and because of open party primary voting in California, Democrats should vote for him. I, honestly, believe that the Republican'ts were going to steal this election, if their nominee were anyone but Drumpf. Now they can't and he could lose the Senate and an outside chance he could lose the House for them. Good, its nice to see their bullsh!t bit them on the ass.

Republican nominee in the General and I think it will be a close race regardless if it's Hillary or Bernie.
