I've always thought California could trend insanely D even when Dems were winning it by big margins and even before Trump ran as a white grievance candidate.
If you look at the fundamentals of the state it's basically the epitome of a Democratic trending state. Lots of big cities + extremely educated suburbs. Whites were already very liberal in the state. Fast growing minority populations. Lots of immigration. Lots of colleges/young people. I can't think of any demographic that has been growing in California that is Republican-friendly. I guess it's getting wealthier, but they're not the kind of wealthy voters that find GOP policies appealing. I think that Trump loses by 2% more no matter who the Democrat is on the ballot in 2020. Though I do think Hillary was a particularly strong candidate for California (she seemed to do well with Hispanic and Asian voters in particular).
