As Trump Rises In Battleground States, Clinton Moves To Block His Path To 270
By Philip Rucker and Dan Balz September 17 EXETER, N.H. Tiny New Hampshire has just four votes in the electoral college, but Tim Kaine was back here for his third visit in five weeks. At back-to-back campaign appearances, Hillary Clintons running mate offered a blunt reason for why.
This race is close, the senator from Virginia said at a rally Thursday in this picturesque New England town. I would rather be us right now than them. I think we have a more straightforward path to win and they have a more complicated path. But [there is] nothing to take for granted because, lets be honest, its been a season of surprises.
To many Democrats, the biggest surprise is that Donald Trump has mounted a comeback. Despite being battered all summer by his own missteps as well as a barrage of attack ads from Clinton, the Republican nominee has been surging in the battleground states.
Public polls over the past week show Trump leading Clinton in Ohio, Florida and Iowa; moving into a virtual tie with her in Nevada and North Carolina; and cutting into what had been comfortable Clinton leads in New Hampshire as well as in Colorado, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Clintons return to the campaign trail after her highly publicized bout with pneumonia came at what has turned out to be the low point for her of the general election. She is laboring to regain solid footing before the first of three debates, on Sept. 26.
It is too early to know whether the episode will be a turning point that reverses gains for him in many of the battleground states.

The opening photo shows her from the back - with lights and presumably an audience in front of her - but the video shows her in a different outfit and ONLY her and the background - is this a staged video - there’s is no evidence of anyone else there - - is the ‘audience’ audio canned? -
It just strikes me as a staged event - filmed in the safety of a contained setting - not actually out on the trail -
FUHC
30 years ago she was a nobody.
It’s obvious RI is in play
I’m thinking Trump will carry some surprising Northeast states. My predictions
Maine
NH
RI
NY
NJ
The reason Illary is running ads in non-competitive states is another way to buy off the media. Let’s face it, the networks despise the fact that Trump is surging in the polls despite little advertising expenditures.
As long as the ad $$ flow from the Clinton campaign the networks will continue to lie and misinform the American voters.
Shes wasting tons of money in California. An ad every 30 minutes.

Same is true in Washington State.
Wow.
“Timmay just wrote the next Trump ad: “We can’t afford more surprises””
The next batch of email dumps are right around the corner. Hehehe
Now that’s just plain funny
I don’t want to see more terrorist attacks, but it is noteworthy that each attack will be Trump another boatload of votes.
NH and Maine both in play.
... but Tim Kaine was back here for his third visit in five weeks .....
********************************************
Timmy “The Eyebrow” Kaine .... pathetic. Hillary needs to show up herself, but she can’t because she’s ILLary these days. Bernie attracted 150 to his rally; however, holding a rally, no matter how ill-attended (no pun intended) keeps him in the “enthusiastic” support for ILLary column so they don’t take his lake vacation house back or hurt his wife.
Pence is going to clobber him in the debate(s).
As a lifelong resident I can assure you that Massachusetts would vote for Satan himself if he ran as a Rat.
More food for thought:2012 results
RI--> Obola= 62.7% of the vote
MA--> Obola= 60.6% of the vote
CT--> Obola= 58.0% of the vote
Will Trump win in November? It sure looks like it.Will he carry any of those state? Pigs have a better chance of flying.
So on November 9th when Broom Hilda loses, will the WaPo leftist scribblers move to Jupiter, or go to Halley-Bopp flying in the cosmos?
Hell-ary is back to running ads in CO.
Hey bitch we are blocking you!! Your days of freedom are coming to an end.
Clinton moves? Glaciers are faster.
There is definitely a lack of enthusiasm for Clinton. Yesterday, even Sanders could only draw 150 (looked like less) to a Clinton rally. All of her events are small, and quiet, sort of like a Hospital Zone. Her rallies get maybe 1,000 views on youtube, while some of Trump’s rallies get 200,000 views, and his Roast and Ride speech in Iowa a couple of weeks ago had over 2 MILLION views.
