Ohio dropped from Dem super PAC's list of 2020 target states as party moves leftward
Fox News ^ | March 7 2019 | Lukas Mikelionis

A top Democratic super PAC that spent $133 million in support of Hillary Clinton in 2016 said it no longer considers Ohio a target state for the 2020 presidential election, as it looks to align with an increasingly socialist Democratic Party.

In a memo, Priorities USA, a moneyed super PAC that supported both President Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign and Clinton’s 2016 run for the White House, downgraded Ohio’s importance and labeled the state a “GOP Watch,” along with states such as Texas and Iowa.

The PAC now sees Ohio as less likely to flip than other swing states, such as Florida, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and even traditionally red states like Georgia and Arizona, according to Cleveland.com.

I’ll point out....this is just one single PAC. Others may still think Ohio is winnable with a Bernie-like character.

With Kasich here, maybe they want to just save their money and just count on HIS help

The only way to pull people leftward is through both ends of a bayonet.

Uh, bad luck with that you numbskulls.

GA was awful close to turning purple in the governor's race....Florida as well.

The GOP can ill afford to ignore either.

With Kasich around, someone should just create a new political party, called the ‘Fake Republicans’ and send him a membership card.

The ONLY state that Dems might turn back blu in the rust belt from 2016 is MI, that’s it. No they state here that was red in 16 has any shot at blue in 20.. and honestly if the economy keeps the way it’s going, even MI will be out of D reach.

Right now, I would say, MI returning blue is about even odds as Mn votes Red in 2020.

The radicalized left has no home in the rust belt outside of IL.

Even MN is going to walk away from what the D party has become, somer or later

Agreed. And I don't see NC and GA going blue, either, though the 2016 elections were a little closer than I'd like. Some of the changes that are taking place in NC will move the state right, I think.

The 2020 Election is still nearly 2 years away. Might as well be a lifetime, electorally. Figure, about this time in 2014, we were contemplating the disaster a Hillary vs Jeb Bush 2016 election would entail. End result wound up pretty good.

Florida flipping? No, the only Democrat statewide office holder is the Agriculture Secretary, who is a Kook.

Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

I (Lowell1775) is taking over the Ohio Ping list. Be patient as I get into the swing.
