Unable 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."

1. I Don't Know What the Polls Say

as I think they are just as old as the SBS/HRC polls here. I can't imagine that Cruz, if he's still in the race three months from now, would do much in CA. CA doesn't do fundy candidates on a statewide basis. I guess that would leave King Orange the Fascist along with Rubio-bot, which is hardly a great choice. If the Democratic primary is already decided, then I may vote for Wind-up Rubio-bot just to help keep King Orange the Fascist from grabbing too many delegates. Thanks to an open primary, I can do that.
