By now, except in the Hillary Clinton propaganda mills, it is pretty well established that Donald Trump is going to get at least 20% of the Black vote while Clinton can’t break 75% with African Americans. This is a full 15 points below the bare minimum she needs to have a chance to win in November. Nevertheless, the crafty Goebbelsesque media presents this and other “horse races” within this election as one requiring Trump to get 51% or be defeated.
This same twisting of the truth would produce a headline saying, “Trump down in 8 of 9 important states,” which would be factually correct but of little importance to anyone interested in the actual truth.
The truth is there are nine states worth 102 Electoral College Votes (ECV) that Mitt Romney lost where Trump is either already winning, within or close to the margin of error.
An honest headline would be, “In states where Obama won by an average of 15 points Trump is winning, at/near MOE.” Here’s why this is true.
A series of polls that, for obvious reasons, have not received much coverage, shows that Trump is closing in on traditional blue states and is surprisingly close to taking over in the race for their Electoral College Votes.
In Pennsylvania Trump is -3 Obama won by 5; Pennsylvania is worth 20 ECVs. https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3113757/2016-Muhlenberg-College-Morning-Call-late.pdf
In Minnesota Trump is -6; Obama won by 8; Minnesota is worth 10 ECVs. http://www.startribune.com/minnesota-poll-clinton-keeps-lead-but-trump-gains/393840031/

Romney was an idiot who thought that Obama would play by the Marquess of Queensbury Rules.
Nice guys finish last.
He was a ringer, pure and simple. Willard was there to assure Zero’s re-coronation, to stop a Conservative from being the nominee and derailing the bipartisan leftist cabal ruling class.
It doesn’t matter. To win in a deep blue state he would have to win by at least 5% to overcome fraud.
There’s no way he can win if it’s between a few hundred votes.
Anyone remember he going 6 for 6 on coin tosses in Iowa???
Trump is only down three in NJ? This is info I have been begging for. I wonder what NY is.
Anyone know what Romney’s numbers were like in these states at this point in 2012?
Yea, after he dominated in the first debate, his handlers told him to dummy up and cut it out.
If polls had him up by three he would lose by 2%. States like NJ are dominated by the Democratic machine at the polling location.
Remember, Stalin said it doesn’t matter who wins the vote, it matters who counts the votes.
You make a good point, but I don’t think their fraud operation is prepared in typically heavy blue states this year.
I wonder what NY is.
Very quiet in libtardville today.
Very quiet.....: )
And out polling ‘12 VP Paul Ryan in his home state!
“He was a ringer, pure and simple”
There were a few here on FR that thought Trump was the same thing.
That would’ve only made sense IF he was backed to the hilt by the establishment (as McQueeg and Willard were).
She won the battle but lost the war...
Yep. The same role that assigned to Jeb this time around.
But Romney had what voters crave. He had electability.
Nothing says electability like a 3-time loser.
Bingo.
MOE?
