33. I was pretty certain CA would go to Hillary. Why? Because more and more Californians vote by mail,

and I knew the polls wouldn't take those into account. Also, those horrible fights breaking out between Sanders supporters and Trumpettes was on television almost constantly. This makes Californians uneasy. We rather vote for the candidate who can project a calm we desire, and that wasn't Sanders. And also, Sanders supporters, predominantly NPPs, would have had to jump through an extra hoop in order to cast their vote for him in the Democratic primary. Democrats who have been registered Democrats for years, didn't have to do that.

I was thinking that Hillary would take California by at least 7% but hoping for 10%. I'm happy to learn it's 13%!
