I’d love to believe CO is winnable but I guess Trump has decided it isn’t?
Any rhetoric aside, you just watch the action. As you said he is not campaigning there. So either he thinks it is so solidly in his column that he would be foolish to waste time, money, energy there (like Oklahoma)...
Or he has virtually no chance (like California)
I have to assume it’s like California. I’d love to be wrong. I am also assuming he does not perceive that he can help Gardner, at least not enough.
If he goes to Colorado the week upcoming that would change my mind.
If they do think it’s even remotely winnable, it would be because in 2016 Dopey Weed Man took 5% of the vote and Trump lost by only 4%.
Maybe. But keep in mind that Trump's campaign scaled way back on advertising in MN, then suddenly announced they were going back in with a big buy. Whether that reversal is for good or bad reasons (I suspect good, based on Jason Lewis' poll numbers) remains to be seen. So campaigns do make last-minute adjustments. I am still optimistic that Trump can win CO and VA. But recognize that the biggest barrier to both states is likely that Trump doesn't need their electoral votes to clinch a 2nd term. So he may not want to repeat Hillary's mistake of overextending herself and leaving her midwest flank exposed (ugh, there's quite the visual!).
