I agree with the author but for different reasons. The Democrats have a built in advantage because the population centers are all or mostly all heavily Democrat. That in itself gives them about 230-240 electoral votes going in. Then given the Republicans propensity to eat their own, I see many many voters simply not bothering to vote this year.
Early in 2015, the frontrunners were telling us what they wanted to do if elected. Since Thanksgiving, it seems all we have heard is how awful their opponents are. Cruzers hate anything and everything Trump. Trumpsters hate anything and every thing Cruz. Change the names to Rubio, Bush and Kasich and it is just as bad or worse.
I am starting to think this country could even elect a Bernie Sanders at this point.
As popular as socialism is among millennials, Hispanics and blacks, the election of Sanders is not outside the realm of possibility at all.
See Post #16.
Good point, Senator Burr went so far to say that he would vote for a dem over Cruz. What democrat would say the opposite? There lies the rub
Obama carries Ohio with 16 out of 88 counties.

The rural areas do not outnumber the ‘gimmedat’ voters in the cities.
