Another Blue State in play.

Hillary should be up by double-digits in MI and she’s treading water.

The poor girl simply cannot catch a break!

This is a good sign for Trump.

Nephew there said when Sanders won primary that many votes were ABC. Think Trump ( who’s signs have increased since primary) will do better than expected.

Obama won it easily.

Hillary is struggling in NH, NJ and OR - states that should be solid Blue.

In effect, they’re toss-ups. Not a good sign.

The only place they could find in the U.S. where Hillary has a lead and they’re all LIVs. Maybe they need to be educated about the woman’s history and why she won’t be handing out cash or phones anytime soon, I’m sure that they feel a kinship with a multiple felon in Detroit and Dearbornstan though.

Trump will take most of the Rustbelt.... MN and WI (thanks to the GOPe nevertrump efforts there in the Primary probably have poisoned it for the general) are probably the only states in the rustbelt that are certain to stay blue.

IL will likely even be in play thanks to all the scandals in Chicago and Hillary =being a weak candidate... that may just keep turnout in Chicago down enough for the rest of the state to pull it out.

“Narrow” lead. Which means, just about a statistical tie, perhaps well within the margin of error.

Dozens of “blue” states are going to be in play this election cycle. And the normal “toss-ups” are already going for the tilt.

How may the Republicans manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory THIS time? Now is when EVERY Republican candidate for either a House or Senate seat should be attaching themselves to The Donald’s coattails. Might even cause a turnover in a lot of previously comfortable Democrat districts. And keep just about every seat they now have.

Hillary will be certain to win CA, WA, MN, WI, VT, NY, CT, NJ, MA, RI, DE, MD and the DC.

She will win 12 states and DC. If Trump’s lucky, he sweeps the board.

If it really is a landslide, NY and CT should flip Trump.

I think after a contentious Democratic National Convention in Philly and a long summer and early fall of lefty agitators running amok all over the country the vast majority of Americans will not be so inclined to vote for Hillary. There is lefty fatigue out there.

I dunno about WI. We had a TON of cross-over voting from the LibTards in Madistan, making sure Trump lost this state to Cruz...and a lot of RINOs feeling the same way.

There are no, and I mean NO, Hillary! bumper stickers and yard signs here in, ‘The Belly of the Beast.’

I’ve seen LOTS of Bernie and Feingold bumper stickers. Senator Ron Johnson’s race is going to be tight, I predict.

Since 47% are going to automatically vote for the DemocRAT whether it’s Clinton or Charlie Manson, this is kind of a big deal.

Sis said three D neighbors all have Trump
Signs.

It’s become a bit of joke. More signs in D yards than R. (R are supporting too )

I’ve said this many times, BEST case for Hillary is maybe 15 states and about 180 EC votes... more realistic less than 10 states and under 100 EC votes.

I said this a while ago, and I stand by it.

Oops! I re-read your post. I see you’ve already figured out my general blathering, LOL! :)

So, I concur, Sir! :)

43% - the typical share received by a Democratic candidate since 1968.

Hillary isn’t going to fall below 40% no matter how awful she might be as a candidate.

Trump was beat by more than a few votes out of Madison.

The GOPe with their attempt to stop Trump probably have poisoned any real shot in WI for Trump.

If Trump pulls it out, great, but if there were 2 rust belt states that I were to say were most likely to stay blue it would be MN and probably WI. IL will be one to watch... there is a perfect storm brewing out of Chicago that could even allow that state to flip.

That would be so AWESOME to witness that happen in IL!

And yes, WI will be a tough one for Trump...but we’ve got a huge Silent Majority here, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed. ;)
