The whole Left Coast save for good 'ol NorCal [which sadly kept being shut out of the process by SoCal] was Lean-Republican turf until Reaganomics murdered the Rocky GOP wing that did so well to keep things just out of Democratic hands.

As for 1980, besides Carter being in bad shape...he was a really bad fit for The West and the scope of Reaganomics wasn't entirely known yet.

Whoever defeats Trump is likewise probably going to do the best in The West.
