Perhaps, but I maintain that Colorado is an easier path than VA
The map is where I see it going as well, with one change. Maine 2CD. Trump is way ahead, so there’s 1 more EV.
Remember, WI was once part of MI. That must explain the commonality for popular liberals.
VA has, what, at least 50,000 highly-paid federal employees who are on the Mrs. Bill train. Maybe more than 50,000.
VA is the only southern state Hillary has a shot at, and if she can’t hold VA, she is losing a lot more!
VA is a state where large portions of the voting population should be motivated to vote for her, just to protect their own pocketbooks.. those in NOVA are largely suckling at the tit of the status quo... they will be the ones who risk losing incomes and jobs should the status quo be upended by a Trump win. So, if she can’t get NOVA to turn out for her and vote, just out of self preservation.... she won’t have turnout in LOTS of other places.
I think WI and MI are supremely winnable for Trump... Only a few more weeks and this is over. Time will tell.
She is spending a lot of money in Michigan.. Local news reported only a few hundred showed up in Detroit for her yesterday.. I see more Trump signs then Hillary..
Exactly why I think CO might be an easier pickup
He can win the battleground states if he aggressively courts the black vote in the cities. Mentioning their plight at his rallies is not enough. He needs to go into the inner cities, go on black radio, etc. The more black votes he receives, the harder it will be for fraud.
What is the latest on his minority outreach? I have not seen any stats in a while. If he can get 20% of the black vote, he wins easily.
MI is definitely possible. VA, just don’t know... has been trending blue for a few cycles now. They may try to call it early to influence turnout in CO and IA.
An interesting point. I wonder how many lawyers he's got ready for the upcoming legal fight.
Will need a couple battalions of them, I'd think.
I don’t agree..too dangerous...the black community is “hot” to go after any political face right now....and i wouldn’t be surprised if the Clinton machinery would use them to hurt Trump...(if you know what I mean)...they always use the black community..
Practically no Trump signs at all, but only a smattering of Clinton/Kaine ... unlike 2012 where I couldn't sneeze without seeing an Obama sign.
The key is turnout ... and fighting back voter fraud NOW and on ELECTION DAY.
Question everything that looks weird ... set camera phone video on stun.
I think in the next week he fires his final salvo and opens a front in NY. I would have a campaign rally right in front of Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn with signs saying Trump is the only candidate from NY running for President.
well at least DT can afford the best lawyers, i agree he may very well need them what with all the expected D party voting fraud especially in key places like Philly, ChiTown, Detroit, St Louis, etc.
That will remain Republican but with a-holes like ryan don't count on them voting for Trump.
CO, IA, OH and FL are the four most critical states then...
Threading the needle.
The fact is, every GOP candidate will have a tough time in the electoral college for the rest of our lifetimes.
The way to win is to turn a few traditionally blue state into a red state.
There’s no other practical way.
that basement renter with the HilLIARy sign may very well have been the “adult” child of the Trump supporter upstairs
(downstairs 35 year old without a job wants to keep free rent, upstairs figures its long past time they get their basement back)
It will take 270 ‘electoral votes’ to win ....It’s getting down to the wire....every move now will be carefully orchestrated......I trust his advisers know the field in play and then some. He has got to get the electoral vote and that means focused to where those states and numbers count for the win......
realclearpolitics.com’s state poll aggregator shows Clinton with an average lead in Colorado of 7.3 points.
