Ugh! San Diego magats. Please don't tell me his numbers are growing.

[IcyPeas]

I know San Diego is a bit conservative and has a large military presence. I hope this crowd isn't as big as it seems. We cannot lose California, as many in the comments are hoping.

1. Good chance those crowds will be shrinking in 3-4 weeks.

[Faux pas]

3. Lol

no doubt

[onecaliberal]

2. Nope, they couldn't swing California when there were a lot more

MAGATs there before. Loud but far in the minority.

[totodeinhere]

4. We will not lose California. I don't care how big that crowd is.

10. Outside of Kern County (Bakersfield) all the counties

in Southern California went to Clinton. Hillary won San Diego by 18 points.

[left-of-center2012]

12. Uh huh

[stopbush]

16. Orange County is 100% Democratic these days.

[rufus dog]

28. Obama won the entire coastline in 2008

Every zip code.

[grantcart]

30. What are you talking about? Clinton took San Diego by 20 points

As this map shows, all of Southern California is deep blue, only inland CA is red

San Diego Clinton 735,476 Trump 477,766

6. That crowd...

is not as big as they make it look. Seems to be about 500 to me.

Camera tricks.

[chia]

15. I live here, local news said it was around 500, so good estimation on your part!

[Alacritous Crier]

20. So many years observing music crowds. ;-)

[chia]

23. Well, I'm impressed!

[wryter2000]

7. That doesn't look like too many people

It's a long line, but only one or two deep. Toward the end, it really stretches out.

Southern California (except for LA) is notoriously red. This would have been a tiny trickle compared to the first women's march in Oakland, and there was an even larger one the same day just across the bay in SF. Trump is not winning California.

Also, bear in mind that the Republican Party is so unpopular in California it's been virtually eliminated from holding any power at all.

[John Fante]

14. Notoriously red? No, that would be South Carolina, Kentucky, etc.

Southern California outside of Los Angeles is redder than people realize, but overall it still leans comfortably blue.

[Caliman73]

17. True. They gummed up the works with the stupid supermajority thing so ...

The Democratic Party just simply elected supermajorities in both houses of the legislature for the past couple of elections. I mean, we did send assholes like Darryl Issa and do send assholes like Devin Nunes to Congress but that is Fresno, and Issa's old seat is now represented by a Democrat.

[stopbush]

18. Orange County -100% of House Reps are Ds

[chia]

21. San Diego's populated areas at the coast are mostly blue, still pretty red inland

[John Fante]

26. Whole lotta cactus in those red areas though.

[chia]

33. Yep. About midway across the county heading east, you run out of population

[grantcart]

31. this map shows it better

https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/california

Clinton took SD county by 20 percentage points

[chia]

32. Well no, but thank you. :) I wanted to show precincts within San Diego county, to illustrate

how it's mainly blue on the coast, mainly red inland. Because there's more population as you go toward the coast, blue predominates (thankfully) but it wasn't always so. I think 2008 was the first time in my memory that SD county went blue.

[greenjar_01]

8. ROFL

"We cannot lose California."

[Atticus]

9. That big Roman numeral three---III---on the black sign in the crowd is the symbol of the "Three

Percent" militia. Those are the nazi-wannabes that provided "security" for the alt-right groups participating on the Charlottesville hate-fest a couple of years ago.

Any decent politician would strongly disavow the support of this hate group, but Trump says they're "great people".

[chia]

24. I saw it too, was going to mention it but I'll just second you here.

[Caliman73]

11. No chance in hell California will flip.

There are always idiots in every jurisdiction, but the Republicans in California have been a marginal party for at least the last decade. They will win elections here and there but California will not send a Republican Senator or President to the White House for a long long time.

[Downtown Hound]

13. That looks like about a hundred people

Maybe 200, played on a repeating loop to make it seem bigger than it is. LOL.

[BigmanPigman]

19. I live here and have seen these same idiots at every anti-tRump rally

I have attended here (over 25 on the past 3 years). They are NOT the majority! Half of them are related to the red neck areas like Santee (those 2 idiots wearing KKK hoods and swastika masks at supermarkets were both from there).

"In 2008, Barack Obama became the first Democratic presidential candidate to win a majority of votes in San Diego County since World War II; he won a majority of county votes again in 2012. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won the county by almost 20%, the largest margin for a Democratic presidential candidate since 1936."

"The city of San Diego itself is more Democratic than the county's average and has voted for Democrats Clinton, Gore, Kerry, Obama, and Clinton respectively, in the last seven presidential elections. With a few exceptions, areas close to the Mexican border tend to be more Democratic, while North County tends be more Republican."

22. The crowd looks big but think

about the overall population density in that area.

It's small, but loud.

[BGBD]

25. if you are worried about losing California....

don't.

When you have an area with 10s of millions of people nearby, it's not hard to get a big crowd for pretty much anything.

[John Fante]

27. Donald Trump has a better chance striking gold in the decathlon

than he does winning California.

San Diego went to Hillary by 18 points and it's likely bluer now.

[obamanut2012]

29. No way in hell Trump will win California

lolololol

Why would you even think that???

[Blue_true]

34. In an area that has several million people.

Hell, you're find more people at a Walmart on a regular day.
