“Unfortunately, CA & NY rule the electoral roost.”
Mark it here first. Trump will win NY. As a matter of fact, if I was his campaign manager I would have a Trump rally right outside of Hillary’s Brooklyn headquarters. Trump is NY. Hillary is a carpetbagger who came to NY to steal a senate seat. Trump built NY. Hillary promised as senator she would bring in 200,000 jobs, which never happened.
nice
JMHO, but you heard it here first. :)
So long as he doesn’t use that phrase. (Did wonders for Perot!)
Although you show MA as a hitlery state, I have yet to see a lawn sign for her, and only TWO bumper stickers (on Prius, of course, with an old lady driving)
On the other hand, TRUMP signs are everywhere.
I predict Trump 310 or 311.
Minor nit pick: Swap Nevada to Trump; New Mexico to Hillary.
(of course, even without New Mexico OR Nevada, Trump is at 269.)
No.
Only morons and attention whores waste time jumping up and down at opinions based on ignorance and cooked polls by other expensive moron "consultants..."
I think CT, RI, VT, MI, WI will be Trumps...(and maybe Maine CD-1), since LaPage is doing good in Maine...
Connecticut hasn’t been good territory for the GOP lately. Remember, their entire federal delegation is Democrat and lasted elected a Republican in 2006 (and he was the ultra-leftist Hillary-supporting RINO Chris Shays) and hasn’t voted GOP for President since 1988.
Rhode Island isn’t much better, not having voted GOP for President since 1984, although their Democrat Governor, who won only by a plurality, is one of the most unpopular Governors in the country, and that might help the GOP (although CT’s Governor is also held in high disregard and stole his race in 2010, but that didn’t help the CT GOP, either).
Vermont is highly unlikely for the simple fact that the state is ultraleft moonbat and out of touch with the political mainstream (as it was 80 years ago when it was hyper-GOP, voting against FDR in 1936). If by some chance it actually did vote for Trump and reported early on election night, he could declare victory nationally on their vote alone. Like CT, it hasn’t voted GOP for President since 1988. Zero was so popular there that he only lost 1% support from 2008 to 2012 and Willard got only .5% more than McQueeg, an appalling 30.97%. Dubya was the last to get more than 40%, in 2000 (he dropped to 38.8% in 2004).
Michigan also hasn’t voted GOP since 1988, with the big problem being Detroit/Wayne County & suburbs outvoting the bulk of the GOP-leaning areas. If Trump can get 35% in Wayne, he might pull it off. 1988 was the last time it broke that margin (39%). Concerning is the level of voter fraud there. Despite having 300k+ fewer residents since 1988, the voter totals INCREASED (748k in 1988 & 818k in 2012). That’s not logical, as the total votes should be in the vicinity of 630k to dovetail with the population drop.
Wisconsin is also problematic because of both Milwaukee and Madistan. Like Rhode Island, it last voted GOP for President in 1984 (it rejected Bush, Sr. for Dukakis). I wouldn’t strongly bet on it, but a Trump landslide might tip it.
Lastly Maine, we have a higher opinion of LePage than Mainers do (he was trailing Angus King in a hypothetical Senate race poll for 2018 by a wide margin). Trump appears to be ahead in the slightly more Conservative ME-2. At best, he might get ME-2 and a majority, but ME-1 is a moonbat district dominated by ultraleftist Portland. His carrying ME-1 would be akin to carrying VT. 1988 was the last time the state went GOP for President, with McQueeg and Willard only carrying 1 single rural interior county (and Dubya carrying just 2 counties in 2004 despite getting a respectable 45%).
I think Donald Trump is immune to saying something stupid. All his current supporters will just see it as "Trump being Trump." The media has been pounding Trump 24/7 for well over a year now on his "outrageous" statements. Thanks to these relentless attacks on Trump, his supporters are de-sensitized to it all.
Trump has now gotten to the point where can treat the press with utter disdain and his supporters just cheer him on! When the press plane was late for the NH rally the other night and Trump announced he was going to start the rally anyway and not wait for them, he got a standing ovation.
When he rick-rolled the press at his Washington DC "press conference" yesterday, he got nothing but accolades from his supporters.
It's pretty amazing but it looks like Trump is going to be able to pull this off.
Trump is a New Yorker through and through. Crooked Hillary is nothing but a carpetbagger.
I live in CT and work in NYC with a lot of people from NJ. All of us are huge Donald Trump fans. The polls aren't picking this up because these three states have been considered a lost cause for Republicans for decades now. I doubt a serious poll has been done in any of these three states this election cycle.
NY, NJ and CT combine for 50 electoral votes. A Trump sweep here puts him in landslide territory.
I'm predicting that there will be shock and awe the night of Nov 8th.
Hopefully, Trump will reawaken the voters in those states...
He has two problems in these states: hostile Democrats and hostile Republicans, both left-wing, corrupt and statist.
This poll show Trump may take New Mexico, so he has a chance there, and the momentum is with him.
