Donald Trump will not win a single Northeast state against Hillary. The blue-ness runs very deep here.
America’s worst kept secret. :)
Good.
This forum is from California.
Would that be the people who want free stuff, and uncle sugar to take care of them?
Color me shocked.
“Trump is not liked by a large segment of the mushy middle...”
And yet Trump was doing great on FR until a bunch of Cruzbots hit the site with everything they had this weekend.
They’re doing the GOPe and Democrat’s job for them.
We are our worst enemy.
Patriots are reminded that the Founding States never intended for POTUS to be elected by general voters. This is evidenced mainly by the Constitutions Clauses 2 & 3 of Section 2 of Article II, referred to as the electoral college. This approach to electing POTUS was undoubtedly intended to protect state sovereignty by helping to prevent constitutional overreach by the feds.
Note that the Founding States had likewise never intended for the Senate to be elected by general voters. But as a consequence of the ill-conceived 17th Amendment which was successfully promoted by the anti-constitutional republic Progressive Movement of the early 20th century, low-information voters have been electing corrupt politicians to the Senate.
Such politicians, including also the generally elected POTUS, get themselves elected by wrongly promising voters social spending programs and constitutionally baseless civil rights that the states have actually never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific powers to establish.
In other words, low-information voters have unthinkingly enabled the corrupt Senate and the likewise corrupt Oval Office to steal 10th Amendment protected state powers, the feds using such powers to greatly overstep their constitutionally limited powers.
If general voters had stuck with the Founding States original ideas for electing POTUS and Senate, citizens would probably have to guess who the current POTUS is since it is the states who actually have the lions share of constitutional authority to serve the people.
So low-information general voters can sleep in the bed that they have made for themselves with respect to being walked on by the unconstitutionally big federal government which they are primarily responsible for creating imo.
Thomas Jefferson had put it this way.
”Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
I used to find Trump marginally acceptable until he began his nasty attacks on Cruz. I now find him definitely unlikeable and boorish. Cruz is right on the mark about Trump and New York values. I also can’t believe that Trump actually supported and praised Nancy Pelosi. She and Harry Reid are the lowest of the low in the Democrat party.
There are so many issues Trump used to support that I find repulsive that I just can’t support him with a clear conscience.
We get exactly what we "pay" for.
I ALWAYS vote absentee. That way I have plenty of time to mull things over.

Remember the Hard Hats in ‘68 and ‘72? Same thing this year. TPP is bad news for mfg unions. These are Union states more than Big D Democrat states.
MA is lost, no issues with that one. something in the water up there.
Trump will win NY with YUUUGE rank & file union support.
Will probably win ME, VT and NH too.
NJ is a nearly a LOCK. No chance for Hitlery there, even if it’s just to piss off Cripsy Creme a The Nut Booker. She is deeply HATED.
Good shot at CT too, believe it or not because of 2nd Amdt issues.
While PA ain’t the NE, he should scoop that up too.
They won't care until they are in their late 30's, if then. FAT and HAPPY, except for the disgruntled here on FR.
If they have to pay tons of income tax, they will be ticked off major league. I pay taxes ahead of time--NO choice. No good to grumble and gripe. I have NO choice.
That may be true, but it is also true for all the other conservative candidates. Appealing to the mush brained middle is a certain path to defeat. The people who want a liberal RINO won't vote Republican anyway - they'll vote to have the first woman president...
>> No matter who is put up Hillary wins <<
Not if the FBI recommends indictment, in which case:
“Hello President Biden.”
No, he does that all by himself. Although I would never vote for the liberal, I once admired him as a businessman. His conduct in this campaign has caused me to come to despise. His filthy behavior has made it personal.
The majority of poll analysts are pretty "dead on" as the election is about to take place. Doesn't give them a crystal ball back in January.
Trump is expected to get 20% of the Dem vote. The blacks love him. He will steamroll Hillary just like he is doing to the GOP competition now.
Biden in the final stretch.
None of that has shown up in head to head polls against Hilary Clinton, where Trump is losing badly. So far that is all fantasyland from the Trumpbots.
I think Hillary will win with more electoral votes than Obama won in 2011 against all our candidates. So roll the dice.
Too many funny mushrooms?
