Keep in mind that George W. Bush won Ohio twice, too -- so a Jeb Bush win there wouldn't have been an outlandish scenario.
You can add California and Minnesota to that group, too.
If the Senate it is lost it is because the RINO’s would not join Trump not because of Trump winning the election. Jeb! Would have lost many red states, Cruz would be no where near Trump’s numbers and Rubio would have crashed and burned against Hillary. Trump may crash and burn in the debate but at least he took the fight to Hillary something neither Rubio nor Bush would have tried. They would be like Romney trying to play defense the whole time.
Someone should tell Trumps people to host a rally at the Augusta Civic Center.
95% of Mainiacs live within 75 minutes of Augusta. It would be huge.
One of the incumbent Republicans in the Senate whose seat was considered vulnerable this year was Pat Toomey in Pennsylvania. Now I know there are a lot of reasons for conservatives not to like him, but he IS the incumbent and he's a hell of a lot better than Arlen Sphincter or whatever that loser's name was.
Now it's not impossible to see a scenario unfold where Trump loses in November while Toomey wins, but I would feel much better about holding that seat if Trump wins Pennsylvania. If the end result is that both Trump and Toomey lose, then what exactly was the point of Trump running in the first place? His biggest appeal was that he'd get "Reagan Democrats" to cross the aisle and support him, and I would hope a lot of them would support the Republicans in those Rust Belt states, too.
Polls are NOT news...They aren't at all. They are manipulated b.s. to try and sway the masses...
Do you in fact believe the polls???
I understand your point but I believe we would not be ahead in the Nevada Race without Trump and Burr would be toast.
One way or another, I think the presidential election and individual Senate elections are going to have interesting combinations of winners in individual states.
Voter turnout will be critical for us in close states. Many blacks and DEmocrat voters in states that don’t allow straight party voting will pass on the Senate vote.
If you look at the different EV maps put together at www.270towin.com, they all manage to elect Hillary with 272 or 273 EVs, they just disagree on which states! Some exclude Nevada, some Colorado, some New Hampshire, some Iowa. But it’s almost like none of them want to cross the line and say Hillary won’t win it.
I think we can evade having to win Michigan, Pennsylvania or Virginia if we can collect Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa, Nevada and either Colorado or New Hampshire. That’s the challenge, as I see it.
If VT votes Republican so does every state on this list and a lot of others. Chances VT goes Republican and NH doesn’t are zero.
The sad situation of D voters getting gunned down in Chicago does not change the Illinois result one way or the other
because
dead D’s still vote, and quite reliably too, in Chicago
