“Sacramento, we’re going to do something. Because I’m going to make a real run in California, all right?” Mr. Trump said to a packed and sweaty crowd, referring to the general election in November. He added: “We’re going to work California hard. We’re going to work the state of Washington hard. We may even work the state of Oregon hard.”
To endear himself to the West Coast voters, Mr. Trump trotted out his usual array of assaults, deriding the likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, as a politician with “no natural talent.” He again falsely accused her of wanting to abolish the Second Amendment, and attacked her decision on intervening in Libya. Mr. Trump supported the intervention at the time.
He spent barely a minute addressing the two issues that have recently dominated the news: the unsealing of documents from a lawsuit involving Trump University and his reported donations to veterans groups. Touching on the donations, he used the first minute of his speech to deliver more broadside attacks against the news media. He never mentioned Trump University.
