The way it has been explained to me is that, to win, the GOP has to flip Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and ONE MORE STATE from the 2012 election.
That looks like a heck of a fight to me. It might be the Democrats’ to lose. They could run a sock puppet and have a good chance of winning.
I don’t know who explained that to you.
Romney won North Carolina in 2012. So it doesn’t need to flip.
It takes 270 electoral votes to win the executive branch.
Valerie’s man child seized 332 electoral votes.
Romney won only 206.
If Romney had won Florida and Ohio, the results would’ve been:
Man-child: 285
Romney: 253
So we have to look at other places, too.
Virginia, perhaps?
Now you have:
Man-child: 273
Romney: 266
Still, Valerie’s charge is gets the election.
Where else do we go?
Well, Iowa or Wisconsin (Romney should’ve won Wisconsin, given his running mate) or Colorado or New Mexico or Nevada would’ve put him over the top....
The real problem is there are sooo many really, really, really “never gonna die” Demon Rat voters in New York, California, Pennsylvania, Illinois and Michigan that Hitlery starts out with a solid 140 electoral votes—more than half of what she needs.
And when you add in the little New England states—small but with a collective total of 51 votes, she is sitting with 191 and hasn’t had to spend a single penny campaigning.
Disgusting, ain’t it?
Who says any of the other states will go the same as they did then?
It’s a battle of ideas, and every state is up for grabs.
And the WSJ is wrong - Hillary’s numbers are already tanking, and the debate has hardly started. The more the public sees of Hillary, more votes go Republican. Throw in a summer of black riots, and the deal is sealed.
Hillary’s going down.
Thats why the twerp Rubio will be the VP candidate.
Sucks.
You’re correct but the crucial event is turnout. She inspires nobody except the really dumb. Shes not trusted. It may be easier to flip states than you or i imagine. After the next election we may be reading about the obituary of the Dem party. They have no bench. Lets not forget that while we never trusted Obama we have to admit he inspired masses. They were wrong but it happened. Hillary will never reach that level of adoration.
