ATLANTA - With days until election day, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is slated to win Georgia's 16 electoral votes, according to a new SurveyUSA poll conducted for 11Alive. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton trails behind.

But but but our good friends in the media told us Georgia was a TOSS UP so HOW CAN this BE? PLEEEEEEZE Georgia will give Trump a 10 win or more in Georgia.
Maybe not “in play” to a great extent, but not a slam dunk for any Republican anymore either and cannot be taken for granted. Lots of blacks (30% of population), vastly increasing numbers of Hispanics (up from 1% in 1980 to 10% today and the explosion shows no signs of abating) and uncounted transplanted Northerners who vote Rat religiously.
If Mitt Romney’s “47%” of the welfare class gets out and votes than Georgia is surely in play, and if it isn’t now it will be before too much longer. Our only hope, there as in places like seemingly solid-Republican Texas, is that they don’t get out and vote.
So I live in Harris County that always goes Republican. Muskogee County to the south always goes Democrat. Local newspaper reports early voting in Muskogee is steady but way off 2008 and 2012. I voted early in Harris for the first time and poll worker says the normally average around 600 per day in Harris but so far are averaging around 2 200 per day. I guarantee that is not for Hillary
Exactly. Changing demographics, fueled mostly by unending, Democrat-importing mass immigration and the movement of liberals from blue to red states, means that many formerly safe red states are no longer safe, or soon won’t be. We’ve seen it in New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada, Virginia, North Carolina, and likely soon in Georgia. Texas will likely be a battleground state in the 2020s.
Some of these trends are seemingly inescapable (can’t stop blue state liberals from seeking a better quality of life in red states, and then bringing their destructive voting habits with them), but some are not. A willing Congress and President can end mass immigration, and that is a necessity if conservatism is to have any demographic fighting chance going forward.
A couple of states to add to your list might be South Carolina and Iowa. Iowa is already a lefty-leaning state but its Hispanic proportion will be approaching 10% shortly. (See also Idaho.)
South Carolina is much like Georgia, where the usual statewide vote is currently around 55%-45% in favor of the Republican and it wouldn’t take much to tilt that back towards 50-50 if not worse, and then another supposedly solid South state is gone, or at least a real battleground.
We’re told that second generation U.S. Hispanics share some of our conservative values, are patriotic to their new homeland, are devout Catholics, anti-abortion, etc. But they sure don’t vote like it.
We’re also told that upwardly mobile/suburban blacks will move to the right when they begin to get a bigger slice of the economic pie, but voting stats reveal that as a blatant lie too. The George Jefferson movin’-on-up types retain their racism to the same degree as the “real” George Jefferson and if anything vote even MORE Democrat than before.
Caddell does have practical experience in this regard.
FOR REAL!
I live here in Ga. and it is SOLIDLY RED in this election!
Not everyone will admit they plan to vote Trump, but they will tell you quickly they are NOT voting for Hillary!
