28. Same as last time
Only with a LOT more money to hammer away while cash strapped Dems either go silent or bleed themselves dry on their home ground. Do they care if they really CAN win either state? No. Each state organization will have to do their utmost to fight the tidal wave of raw money and organization. Many will have to do it 100% locally. AND develop strategies money can't buy for the GOP. Probably street strategies, cheap strategies, volunteer strategies and speaking truth to power.

How to maintain the strength of PRESENCE without jetting back and forth desperately or leaning on surrogates? Feet to the street all the time. Letters to papers. The other side can buy illusions by the basket, spread lies like manure, trip up the hurrying Dems with banana peels, manipulate policy, fix votes.

They are hoping the "campaign" can kill the message and the messenger.
The only way they can win NY and California is for the national candidates to melt down AND good people do nothing(or nothing but bicker).

Of course if it is close enough to steal, it will be stolen.
