It broke here in MI an Hour ago. One of the Detroit Newspapers who are not FR friendly has the story. I won't even post their link because of I think they are on the list of not even linking..
Oh, and New Mexico
Something no other Republican nominee would ever do, but it is brilliant.
Flint lost all of its connections with the automotive world some time ago, it's only "industry" is the main campus of Baker College, which as colleges go is not so much the re-education camp that so many have become.
Yep, with Walkers machine in place Wisconsin should be easier to pick off than before.
I am a Baker graduate... not from Flint. Baker can get a bad rap, but it served me well.
Michael Moore no longer allows his shadow to darken the streets of Flint. He used those folks to achieve his money and fame. Now he hobnobs with the beautiful people up in Traverse City. No need to hang around Buick City any longer.
Right.
And NH is doable, also, right?
Trump will also lose by less than 2 points in New York, Illinois and Ct.”
We are truly approaching fraud-proof territory.
I think Michigan may be a winnable state, and he’ll need either Pennsylvania or Michigan (or both) to win.
MI is in play.
Trump adding an unscheduled stop here means he has the playing field all to himself.
And Hillary is benched due to illness.
The past 20 years, Republican candidates never bothered to even come to Michigan seriously.
Now Trump is putting down the flag!
We will deliver!
Ohio, NC and Florida are now I suspect in the probably Trump win category as is Iowa. That what means Trump only has to win 2 or 3 of the other 5 battlegrounds Va, Co, Pa, NV, NM or Michigan. I suspect sans NM he could run the table on 4 of those 5. Like Pa and Va would most likely put him over 270. I still don’t see landslide. Too many drones who voted for the milk chocolate imbecile. this country is not 1980 and Trump is no Reagan.
A glorious reference to a great movie. Well played!
welcome back to Michigan, Mr. Trump.
I am here working it when I get the opportunity.
Blech. One of the reasons we don’t hit Traverse but go to Gaylord to spend cash instead.
If it’s not close, and Trump wins, I agree, that’s what it will look like.
Newer polls worse than older—but they are polls.
I think it is a good strategy to visit states he might not win anyway to cushion he national vote polls.
Trump recently came to Texas. One way to look at that is ...
OMG!!! Trump is worried about Texas.
The other way to look at it is... Trump wants to drive up his poll numbers in Texas and other states so that he can take the lead in the national polls. Because it’s one thing to win Texas by 5, it’s entirely another to win it by 30. When you win a big state by a large margin, it can move the national polls by a few points. And likewise if you can make a state your going to lose a close loss, instead of a big loss, again you can have a positive affect on the general election polls.
And Trump is good at leveraging good polls to his advantage.
Could there be RI and MA surprises? I figure CT is hopeless.
