This election is about motivation, intensity and the resulting turnout. Trump represents change and change creates enthusiasm. Trump resonates with a pissed off populace.
Voting for Hillary is about voting for more of the same from the entrenched establishment.
Minnesota is in play because the Democrats are tired of the same old BS and won’t turn out. The Trumpsters can’t wait to vote.
There is no enthusiasm for Hillary in NoVA.
There will not be another historic black turnout in Richmond & Norfolk/Newport News regions. It will not be at 2008 & 2012 levels it will be closer to the usual historic turn out. BLM crap might elevate it a little but not a lot. So it comes down to what blue collar & rural voters do. They have been forgotten and denigrated by the economic policies of both parties so that many of them don’t vote any more. If Trump energizes them to turn out in a big way it will overwhelm NoVA.
Some good polls to report,
A poll in MN-8 from Survey USA, Republican Stewart Mills AHEAD 45-41%. This is the iron-range seat, lost be the Republicans in the GOP landslide of 1946, regained in 2010, lost in 2012 and Mills narrowly failed to get it back last time. Trending GOP, blue collar, the kind of district you’d expect Trump to do well in. This would be a sweet, sweet gain.
And I believe these are Republican polls from Remington Research but hopefully they are on the money.
They have Trump up 4 in OH, FL TIED! Trump up 3 in NV, Clinton only up 3 in PA. These are encouraging.
A Trump victory in Minnesota would be such a triumph. Even The Gipper didn’t quite achieve that.
He could’ve, but he didn’t want to thoroughly humiliate Fritz Mondale. As it was, Reagan did carry 5 out of the 8 CDs in MN in 1984, so that’s a “victory” in its own right.
Woah there slugger. That may be what this out of date thread I decided to post in is about but that’s not what I’m talking about here, latest poll has bitch up 8 in MN.
But I reported on Mills being ahead, and good polls for Trump in FL/OH/NV/PA.
