If history is any guide, this election could come down to one state: Ohio.
You can almost bet that whoever wins the Buckeye State — Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton — will win the White House.
The reason isn't Ohio's 18 electoral votes — plenty of battleground states like Florida and Pennsylvania are worth more. And it isn't because Ohio is a so-called "blue collar" state, because Ohio is harder to define in any singular way. In fact, it's Ohio's incredibly diverse demographic, economic, and geographic makeup that makes it matter so much in elections.

He is not a man of his word. He has no honor. The good people of Ohio will figure that out.
Not sure they will at all
There is a special place in Hell/Hillarys Cabinet for that turtle mouthed little rat bastard son of a post-tard!
