There is no such thing as a popular presidential vote though. Using a baseball analogy, scoring more runs in a series doesn't matter, winning more games does. So you build your strategy with the idea in mind that if you're going to lose California anyway, lose it big and use those resources elsewhere.
Also of note (and just as relevant), Republicans won the Popular vote for Congress by over 3 million.[1]

Also historically the last mid terms should have given massive gains in both houses instead of the extremely slim majority in a single house.
