Some Republican strategists say Mr. Trump might be missing an opportunity to be seen standing up to anti-Trump sentiment. “You’d be well served to come to California and speak to his base back in Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania,” said Rob Stutzman, a California Republican strategist who works out of Sacramento. “This is a president that loves foils,” Mr. Stutzman said. “California would be a great foil for him.”
