Well - he’s right.

However,,,, more states can be won in more ways than one - right?

Didn’t Reagan prove that?

Sorry to go back 25 years - but hopefully you understand what I mean.

Reagan had the advantage of running against Jimmy Carter, a recession and numerous military embarassments. We don't have that advantage this time around.

Well...yes and no. Yes Reagan did win states like NY, NJ, PA, CT, etc... Here’s the catch, though. 25 yrs ago the demographics in tose states were full of blue collar union democrats who voted Reagan. That demo is GONE. They picked and moved south or west and were replaced by those south of the border.
