You have to remember how ridiculously close the election was. The winning margin came to less than 0.1% of voters across three states.

So yeah, it's possible CA had that big an effect. Just that it wouldn't have meant anything without all the other things also having their effects. Giving all the credit to CA is like paying for a coffee with 1p coins, and saying it was the last one that bought it.
