“Call me an optimist, but I think Trump can win CA and I expect he will..”

There is not much enthusiasm for Hillary in the dimoKKKRAT party. IMHO a number of voters will just stay home.

Don Jr has shared tweets from Colorado in recent days.
He, Ivanka and Eric lived there with their mother Ivana for a period of time.
Saw a poll where Trump is within 5 points in The Rocky Mountain State a couple of days ago.

I have found (in Maine) that most gop ‘experts’ are over-priced clowns whose ego far exceed their talents. And the only gop group I have any faith is the Republicans Governors Association.
But a ground game is critical. And it doesn’t need to cost a lot. Just managed smartly. Within 2 weeks the campaign could get voter i.d. completed
I’ll give campaign credit on this point,they want 7000 poll watchers on election day. Get everyone a voting list, republicans that haven’t voted should be called and ‘knocked and dragged’ to the polls.

I am willing to be wrong on this issue. If Trump even comes close in California it would be a victory. I hope you are right.

I do think that Donald Trump will take NY State. If that is happens the PIAPS is toast

Just NY and it’s over. And they will know it early in the evening too...

So the evil bitch can start throwing ashtrays at 6PM Pacific Time

I would love to be a fly on that wall

I never thought I’d type this, but I think the only states where Trump has no chance at all are :

HI
CA
IL
MN
VT
MA
MD

DC is also impossible to win.

I think he has an outside chance at NY, OR, and WA. Also, RI and CT, normally impossible, are a bit realistic. NJ seems to be in that tier of states just after PA, WI, and MI.

When it comes to swing states, I think Trump has a decent margin in FL, NV, and NC. OH seems to be swinging his way. Next up are PA, CO, VA, MI, NH, and WI ... If his polling shows that he builds margins in those states by mid october, he’ll be able to go for the bonus round and start nabbing the ridiculously blue states. Until then, I think his campaign needs to focus on those six states like a laser, while maintaining in NV, NC, FL, and OH obviously.

It is so refreshing to watch a true national campaign instead of one of those tired “Rovian” campaigns where long term gains are sacrificed for short term RINO wins.

The GOPe would swallow more than their pride to hold onto a little power.

I’m on the coast in NC and Hillary’s TV ads are playing several times an hour and they’re well made. I rarely see a Trump ad. His ads are good but not great. There’s so much he can hit her with could sway the so called “undecided”. His media people need to step it up. Hopefully they have the cash.

All Trump needs to do is be disciplined by staying on key messages and bold by going into areas where chickenhawk RINOs would never tread — like Mexico and the church in Detroit.

He keeps doing this until Nov. 8th he’ll win in a landslide.

I cannot stand the “Rovian” whiteboard calculating style — it’s incredibly small minded.

I think your list of states is spot on.

Trump WILL win if the GOP crybabies knock it off with their tantrums. If they want to vote for a disturbed, sickly old Nazi lady, go ahead and do it. Just don’t hold a press conference everyday to broadcast it to anyone who may have missed it.

I think this will be all about turnout. Nobody is excited enough about Hillary to stand in line for hours to vote. I think the numbers will be staggering.

Trump supporters will crawl over cut glass to vote Dems, not so much.

I agree with you.

I think Trump will easily demonstrate to people that he is not an out-of-control crazy person.
And I think Wikileaks will easily demonstrate to people that Hillary is terrible, terrible criminal.

Very few people will find the choice to be a difficult one.>>> he first has to demonstrate that he is not a crazy person. he demonstrates this characteristic far to much. and i do not think he is. flame away

Gee Mister Einstein how did you come to that conclusion: was it the crowds was it the monster vote; was it the poll numbers oh please we’re so tired of this crap.
