Especially if you live in Colorado,Iowa,Pennsylvania and Ohio. Can you safely say that all looks good for either Trump or Cruz at this point?,In other words, Hillary doesn't stand a chance in your swing state. What about those of you who live in any of the rust belt states? Any "Hillary Updates" In Michigan and Wisconsin? Please let us know how "Popular" Hillary is in your states, and if you want to call your state for the GOP in November, go right ahead!
Well, being from New Hampshire which use to be a swing state, I unfortunately can basically this state for Hitlery. Probably by 10 points.
The state has been overrun by layabout liberals in the past decade or so.
Sorry for the bad news ... but we are only 4 Electoral Votes so we don’t count for much.
Because of the liberal disease that pervades the north part of the state, Virginia is no better than 50/50.
If Trump is the nominee I would say PA is his to lose, if it’s anyone else, it will be blue once again.
Red Hampshire just lost two conservative votes last month as my wife and I finally escaped...
> If Trump is the nominee I would say PA is his to lose, if it’s anyone else, it will be blue once again.
What if it’s Cruz?
I haven’t lived in NJ for a long time. However, it is possible that Trump could take that state.
The state I am curious about is New York? If Trump is the nominee could New York swing republican? If Trump gets Florida, Texas and New York it is basically over.
As I said if Trump is the nominee I think PA is his, any other Republican (which includes Cruz) and it stays blue. That’s my take. Time will tell.
I live in Nevada, and the population of the state has tripled since I moved here, mostly by Californians spewing forth over the Sierra Nevada like a horde of locusts destroying everything in its path in search of cheap land and low taxes. So, Nevada, with natives being greatly outnumbered by the liberal californian horde now has as much chance of electing a republican that california has, because we are now californias little SoDoSoPa
Nothing guaranteed in OH. As long as the dhimmicraps hold the metro areas, it will always come down to voter turnout, and how many of the cemetery votes they can count.
That being said, Trump does have a great deal of vocal support; more than any others. Carson is dropping. Cruz is building momentum. And, Rubio appears to have stagnated.
Kasich, JEB, Christie, and the rest? Never seriously considered.
That’s an assessment of my network; by no means scientific, and not intended to be.
I've got many friends - and a few relatives - in Pennsylvania. And you're right, HamiltonJay.
PA has lots of JFK-type Democrats. Deer hunters, blue collar worker types. Those folks loved Reagan, and they are very, very excited about Trump.
Cruz just doesn't move those folks. Cruz speaks like a lawyer who happens to be senator. Nothing wrong with that, of course. But it doesn't get anyone excited. Trump on the other hand speaks like my fishing buddies would.
Trump would carry PA. But If Cruz heads the ticket, the folks I know would just go back to mindlessly pulling the Democrat slate lever.
As a resident of the People’s Republic of Maryland, I can call my non-swing state for the big government communist who promises to grow FedGov the most and protect individual freedom the least. That would be Hillary, of course.
Cruz is guaranteed to lose my state against anyone. In the event that Cruz carries Maryland, despite our preference for Karl Marx, it will not matter because he will already have the biggest landslide since Reagan in 1984.
That is what I was thinking even though I am not from their. The Philly suburbs vote Republican down ballot but not for President. Trump being a north easterner in manner and speech just might play stronger their. He does appeal to working class white so I would look for a strong showing in western PA and the Anthracite areas. Even Stroudsburg which has been trending Dem because of New York retirees would get a boost for him.
Trump will carry lots of the the Reagan/blue dog dems that Cruz has zero shot at in PA. They are the ones who have gotten screwed over the worst by decades of both parties selling America down the toilet.
Trump will get many of their votes with his making America great again message and telling the truth about how the game is played and how they are getting screwed and that he will stop it.
I believe Trump can carry PA and Put places like NJ and NY in play. He will get support no other Republican will pull. I believe he can carry PA and possibly NJ, NY and other states no other Republican will have any shot at. I don’t think Cruz as much as I may like his ideology, or anyone other than Trump, has any chance of getting 64 more electoral votes than Romney. Trump puts far more of the map into play. Even if they turn FL and OH you are still something like 17 ec votes shy.
What other state does anyone honestly thing any other Rupublican is going to put into play? IA maybe... NV? I’m honestly hard pressed, with as bad as Obama has been and as weak as Hillary is of what states go into play with any of the establishment candidates? And what state(s) is Cruz going to add to that? I don’t see him adding anything more to play than an establishment candidate and I don’t see any establishment candidate putting 64 more than Romney into play.
Time will tell what happens, but that’s how I see it.
I would think that South east Florida would be another place the GOP with Trump could carry. So that would help there. I think New YOrk is just too Democrat to carry and they know Hillary very well.But then again Connecticut, New Jersey and maybe even Delaware night be blue states where the Gop with Trump could have an improved shot.
