According to cnn exit polls http://edition.cnn.com/election/results/exit-polls/california/president

If only whites had voted in California, Clinton would have still won, 50 - 45, but it wouldn't have been a blowout. More like Minnesota.

California's electorate is only 48% white, though, and Hillary won POC 73 - 21. So overall, Hillary won BIG!

As a Californian who loves my home, I won't claim Californians are any smarter than people in fine states like Colorado. Our numbers look so different because of the demographics, which affected the vote in every state.
