Westminster:
Donald Trump's prediction that he can win the biggest single prize in November (California's 55 electoral votes) rubs up against a dismal history for Republicans over a generation.
The names on the ballot have changed, but the outcome has been the same - double-digit wins for Democrats since 1992.
In the heart of Hillary Clinton country, Trump is facing this challenge: unite Republicans while finding millions of new supporters in a state where Democrats hold every statewide office and both chambers of the Legislature.
Democrats also have a 3.1 million edge in voters, equal to the population of Iowa.
California (the home turf of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reaga) was once Republican in presidential elections. But pronounced demographic shifts, particularly a boom in the Hispanic population, have transformed the state.
