I don’t buy the assumption that Virginia is “bluer than California.” Clinton won by five-point margin in Virginia last year, similar to how Obama performed. Meanwhile, in California, Clinton beat Trump by a whopping 30 points, seven points wider than Obama’s victory over Romney there in 2012. Similar gap in their 2012 Senate elections. While you could say that Virginia is a blue state, it’s not bluer than California.
