During the actual Presidential election, one could argue that state would be California, because ir has about 1/5 of the electoral votes necessary to achieve victory.
As far as a primary state is concerned, there is no clear answer, since states are currently jockeying for position by changing the date of their respective primaries. It is important to win enough along the way to be able to attract $ to your campaign and win enough delegates to stay competitive.

I suppose that you are referring to the Primary election since the actual election goes until it is over. But you do NOT have to win the Primary to be elected. Evidence is Liberman lost the Democratic Primary in Connecticut, but switched parties and won as an independent.

Iowa turned right into a small state caucus. NH is a small state usual - that, by the way, hasn't even taken position yet. the printed/print media sound bites & headlines, mixed w/ biased polls by all kinds of those who pick to administration the vote by "perceived" momentum are seeming to "make sure" nominations and a nationwide election that are months away. it really is my truthful wish that individuals in our united states of america gained't get lazy. they're going to search for comments from elements interior the states of those congress human beings & previous governors. they're going to pay interest to the speeches and debates in entire & on their own to make certain the options - no longer position self belief in the media & others to allow you to comprehend/distort what absolutely got here about. Insist on more suitable than interest-communicate on what the applicants trust, yet on what they actually have performed and what they especially plan to do i do no longer imagine that it really is over for Clinton, or for the different candidate. it really is too quickly to make certain this - a minimum of for any literate and wondering society.

california, texas, florida are the big ones,
also new york.
You should try to win your own state, wherever you grew up in if you can.
no offence but personally i don't think you'll be running for president anytime soon.... will you?
you also need to have alot on your resume, alot of cash, alot of awards and be known by alot of people
