Not necessarily but someone could. Depends on the candidates. We could easily see a drop just as we have seen before in reelection years. Likewise, we could see a rise like we have also seen in prior reelection years. 

Quote:Again, not really.  The way the system is set up this is going to become more common as large population states continue to widen the gap in population with the "smaller" states. 

While it has happened twice in the past 5 cycles, the phenomenon of someone winning the election while losing the popular vote has only happened 5 times ever and never anywhere close to this gap. That's impressive.

Living in CA I can tell you that even discussing Trump in terms that don't involve fire and brimstone condemnation will get you exiled by many people.  Anyone who deals with humans knows that group think and herd mentality is a real thing.  If it wasn't then Putin was wasting his time.
