Don't know enough about Maine to comment...and I'll give you New Hampshire.NY and NJ? Very hard to believe.And as for RI see Post #35.
Yes,I think Trump has a damn good shot at taking this...but we gotta have realistic expectations.
Interesting.Any chance that those ads are aimed at Nevada and/or Arizona?
Even if it’s a PAC supporting her why the hell waste money in a state like California already in the bag. I doubt the Clintons are worried about California. I think they’re more worried about turnout for the down the ballot congressional and state candidates.
“RI and MA are in play
“Hillary’s support there is in the single digits.”
There is no state where Clinton’s support is in the single digits.
The best analogy I can think of for this campaign is the Dems and the media are about to get a blindside hit like an NFL QB getting nailed by an unblocked DE, and will be knocked senseless by the result. The people in the know in the Democrat Party know they’re in trouble, deep trouble. They sense there is a monster vote out there for Trump, but they just don’t know how large it is and that’s what scares the hell out of them.
“She’s wasting tons of money in California. An ad every 30 minutes.”
Hillary’s California TV ads are not aimed at getting votes, they are aimed at raising money.
[The lady doing hugs with the child at that time was Hillary just come back from 30 years ago for a short visit.]
Did the child ask HILLARY if she remembered “LITTLE DEBBIE’S?”
Be nice to pick off Pennsylvania.
There’s a great deal of truth in what you post. The same can be said for the political consultant and pundit classes. This the high season where they make their living for the next two years. Trump has dampened their expected revenues.
Always wondered why the 'Live Free or Die' state went lib in elections. It just means that Everyone in the rest of the state needs to vote! Tip the balance!
New Hampshire for Trump!! Live Free or Die!
New Hampshire's funny.It's one of the lowest taxed states in the country (no income tax *or* sales tax).And it's my understanding that it's one of the fastest growing states.Many of the people who've moved to the state have been from Massachusetts and are drawn largely by the low taxes.But many of them continue their filthy voting for DC offices while demanding that state candidates take the famous (famous in NH that is) "no income or sales tax" pledge,a pledge that just about every candidate,including Rats,take.
Interesting. Thanks for posting. With no state income tax and no sales tax, how do they fund basic ‘stuff’, schools, roads, state university, police, etc. A lesson to be learned for other states?
No. these ads are in the heart of California.
NH has high property taxes, but most of those taxes are spent at the local level. 9% meals tax & NH owns all the state liquor stores so they get a lot of tax money from tourists. NH has a very lean government. Not many state workers & they get by. They also have no in-state estate tax or ANY capital gains taxes which makes the job they do running the state on the cheap remarkable.
Looks like a lesson all the states need to look at. Or better yet, all the citizens of each state need to have their state look at the 'New Hampshire model' of state and local government finances. Very lean government sounds good to me and I suspect, most Americans. Now if all the states did this, then let the marches begin to 'lean' the US Federal Government. Lean = less taxes all around.
Then throw in an Article V convention to rein in the Federal behemoth.
