Facing the unpredictable candidacy of Republican Donald Trump, Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton is preparing to dispatch resources to vote-rich industrial states that have been safely Democratic for a generation.

If she has to start spending money to defend Pennsylvania in May, it’s OVER!

Trending or not, it still shows Clinton is winning by a pretty large margin.
I hope that lead decays quickly. Maybe a good look at Hillary! at the DNC convention will finish her off?

This can’t be true the media has been telling me Trump will be losing red states to Hillary.

I hope she burns through her stacks early on.

Sadly she will have endless stacks of cash from foreign donors all will be illegal and no one will care anymore than when Bill or Obama ran.

So in two sentences we learn that Donald Trump is "unpredictable" and "unconventional."

So what do you call somebody who leaves four Americans to die on the battlefield called Benghazi? Or the person, who accepts multi-million dollar bribes for favors?

Hillary Clinton for prison 2016!

I don’t think her screeching, although prodigious, will be able to be spread that thin.

For her to have to defend purple/blue states this early, she’s in trouble and knows it.

I’ve been saying this for months.
The rust belt is up for grabs.

IA, WI, PA, OH, PA and MI
All Blue States Trump can flip with the right message.
Clinton is falling apart.

I’d think she is vulnerable in NY; she ran for Senate there with the usual mantra of bringing back jobs upstate and if anything the state is much worse off.

“They’ll be off balance the entire campaign.”

They have not yet figured out how to respond to Trump. He is literally writing the book on how to handle the Left.

What I fear is that want will rise will be pure socialist/communist and the millennial a will be too stupid to understand what that means.

reflecting a growing recognition inside her campaign of the threat that Trump’s unconventional bid for president may pose in unexpected places, particularly in economically struggling states that have been hit hard by global free-trade agreements.

No one is more pro global free-trade agreements than First Moron Omugabe...
And the ugly, fat unindicted Felon Criminal Hillary has vowed to continue his headlong dash to unintended consequences.

How is she going to do that? Reverse herself? Claim that she misspoke? Again? Not what she meant Blah blah blah...?

After researching the political climate in some state, I have the Trump vs Clinto electoral map as follows. At this time, I think Trump has a shot in the Great Lake states and some unexpected states like NJ, CT, NM and OR.

He has the right message for PA.

Jobs.

Steel...long gone, but with the exception of tubing (now used in the oil/natural gas industry). Our Dim Gov, Tom Wolf, wants to turn PA into a jobless “green” sanctuary (like upstate NY). We need an EPA that is either dismantled or out of the way of drilling/fracking, thereby restarting the energy sector here in PA.

Jobs! When Trump was in Pittsburgh he packed two venues in one afternoon. Lines out the doors and around many blocks.

Last week service sector jobs were lost to India (and another location in Eastern PA) when Kraft/Heinz layed several departments.

GE is going to layoff 200 in Blawnox PA.

Everyday, more job losses. Trump needs to connect that to Hillary/Obama.

Look what happened when the WV miners voted AGAINST Hillary on her stance on coal.

DJT can take PA, OH, and WV. There aren’t that many dead people voting in philly.

Oh I agree with his message!
Just trying not to get overly optimistic.
The Clinton’s are dangerous when cornered.

Also the DNC is not above throwing someone under the bus and having a new name on the ticket.
Bloomberg is their backup.

All Blue States Trump can flip with the right message.

If Trump holds the states Romney won (206 electoral votes) and wins these three states that Romney lost, Florida (29), Ohio (18), and Pennsylvania (20), then Trump wins the Presidency with 273 electoral votes.

It’s a conundrum for Hillary; she has to campaign to fend of trump, but the more she appears in public, the less they like her. Smarmy, condescending, and holier that thou only way this woman can act. When she tries to be different, it comes off really bad..
