Law of Unintended Consequences: Will Democrats Steal California from themselves?

In California, the two candidates with the greatest vote totals in the primaries move on to the general election, regardless of party. In the past this has resulted in keeping Republicans out of the general election. But things could change. 

According to Nate Silver's crew, so many Democrats are running in the primary that they could split their vote. They could split their vote so badly that two Republicans end up with the greatest vote totals and moving on to the general.

One can hope. And I'm sure there are ways we can give the Democrats a helping hand. To any Russian troll reading, please provide all available assistance. California, after all, is a common enemy.  

Something similar will happen to the Democrats in 2020. Trump is more than just the Teflon candidate. He's got active armor. People constantly under-estimate him and pay the price. The Democratic primaries are going to be packed. Every Democrat thinks they can defeat Trump. And they will fight each other to the death for the honor, fatally dividing their party in the process.

One can hope.
