I dunno about that. I'm a registered Republican living in a conservative California town and I don't know anyone who is actually going to vote for Trump. I do know a bunch of people who like him and think he's the best thing since Joe the Plumber but none those people have ever actually voted and considering they are all drunks I feel pretty comfortable saying none of them will vote Trump. Also, don't underestimate Rubio's appeal to the Hispanic Republicans (there have to be a decent amount in California). Plus Californians tend not to be as impressed by celebrities as the rest of the country so I'd like to think Californians won't be as susceptible to Trump's fame as the people of Iowa, NH and SC were. Most importantly, it will, most likely, be a 2 person race by the time they get to Cali and Trump has yet to show he can garner more than 33ish% of the vote. Show me Trump winning a non-caucus state while garnering at least 45% of the vote and I will immediately concede it is possible he can win California.
