Well, the fact that Hillary has scheduled sudden appearances in Michigan and Wisconsin is supposed to indicate that things are not looking so good for the Rats there.
It’s somewhat confusing: Democrats GOING to a state means they are in trouble there, and Democrats NOT GOING to a state (Florida) means they are in trouble there.
Sounds like a bit of wishful thinking is taking place in peoples’ interpretation of at least one of those two contradictory positions.
As of now, both Iowa and Ohio are solid for Trump. Demographically, Michigan and Wisconsin are similar (not identical) to Ohio and Iowa.
It is my opinion the if Trump is doing well in Ohio and Iowa, then states like Wisconsin and Michigan are not that far behind. This it likely the reason why the hillary is going back there. If true, Trump is on the advance and hillary is in retreat mode.
Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, and Virginia were decided by less than 3% in 2012.
A far-ahead Dem expanding the battleground would be going to Georgia, Missouri and Indiana, the closest states won by the GOP (besides razor thin NC). A Dem going to blue states like Michigan (not even in the 10 closest in 2012), and Wisconsin (the 10th closest in 2012 but a Dem win by almost 7%) is indeed a bad sign for the Dem.
A far-ahead Rep would be going to Colorado, Pennsylvania and Iowa. Where the race is actually at right now can be seen by where time and money is being spent. Rep’s having to spend time and money in Georgia, Missouri and Indiana would be a bad sign for the GOP.
Who looks like they’re playing defense?
