Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were the most surprising states that turned from supporting President Barack Obama in 2012 to voting for Donald Trump in 2016, and they were critical to putting him in the White House.
The 2020 election is looking very much like a three-state race again, with the same trio playing the deciding role.
Florida and Ohio are not likely to be in play - the 2018 midterm results confirmed their deepening red hue. And Democratic hopes of flipping Texas or Arizona are in the same category with Republican plans to turn New Hampshire or Colorado: perhaps, but not likely.
When it comes time to defend his red wall along the Great Lakes, President Trump is going to come face to face with the consequences of his Pentagon leadership's failure to implement his oft-promised 355-ship Navy (up from 290 today).
Pennsylvania workers make many of the essentials that go into ships, including shafts manufactured in Erie and cooling systems in York. Every time the Navy awards a contract for a new ship, the president or vice president should be at one of these facilities, talking about the jobs the contracts will provide. But the Navy hasn't been issuing those contracts, so the president can't make those announcements.

Hugh Hewitt is writing for the Washington Compost???
Hugh Hewitt is also on MSNBC. Traitor.
That’s ridiculous.....
We should take counsel from WaPo? I think NOT.
That’s right. Congress appropriates the money, not the president.
Like anyone should give a damn what some has-been never-Trumper has to say about anything.
Hewitt still roleplaying as a conservative?
Not WaCompost....it’s the Beaumont Enterprise.
Ah. Okay. So the Compost just reprinted the article. Interesting. I wonder how many other of Hewitt’s opinions the Compost values enough to reprint. Or are they just engaging in cherry picking?
Frankly, I think that NONE of the DIMocRATS have a prayer of defeating President Trump in 2020.
Of course, the MORE that they spend on the way to a BLOODBATH in 2020, the LESS that the DIMs will have for the campaign of 2022 & 2024.
(I’m told that LOTS of BIG donors to the DIMocRATS are “reconsidering” throwing away their $$$$$$$$ in a LOST CAUSE = Even LEFTIST rich people aren’t likely to just throw away money on a SURE LOSER.)

This article is from the Pest and it was picked up from their wire service by the Beaumont paper. Generally doing that means the paper is or is well on the way to being an advertiser garbage wrapper.
Fake news from a faker!
Hugh Hewitt is a dipsh!t! Worst replacement for Bill Bennett. The guy is rarely right on anything and a deep state ass kisser.
This guy is just fishing for boob-bait. Total fake conservative.
WHAT PAP!
Washington Compost = rotting garbage
