" riggers "

Riggers? I'm sure you mean "rigor." As in "rigorous."

Yes, turnout. Hammond mentioned Cuccinelli. Cuccinelli lost by about 40,000. 4 years earlier McDonell got 80,000 more votes than Cuccinelli. The D vote was about the same.

Cuccinelli lost because he did not have a good GOTV. There is no way it can be blamed on anything else.

The Trump campaign should learn from others mistakes. Trump has the enthusiasm Clinton lacks. But Clinton as dedicated soldiers motivated by their government check. Trump needs to translate his rah-rah spectators into players in the game. That is how he wins.

This might backfire on Dems. If they are overconfident, many may not show up. We know the Republicans will be there.

It’s typical poll manipulation to get the wishy washy squishy middle to stay home or just fall in line with the ‘winner.

I don't see Hillary & Kane motivating a large black turnout in the NoVA, Richmond & Norfolk/Newport News areas. Strong turnouts from western & central rural Va will give Trump the state.

The same exact methodology that the MSM polls use, I pulled it out of my butt, just like them

But I see the polls skewed like they were during the primaries and that is what I was going off of.

The polls are anything but accurate

He’s not, but we WILL win. Putting NY and NJ in the win column is patently absurd.

But i hope it is close enough that she will have to spend money there.

OH, FL, PA, NV, Virginia, those i can see happening.

Instead of blathering ridiculous statement, one would do better to donate to trump and/or donate time to trump and/or make sure elderly have absentee ballots if they can’t get to the booth.

Threads like this are kinda worthless.

DOING something isn’t.

Thank you Mr. Hammond for a fine analysis. I can only add that two things. The playbook of which you speak is confounded by Donald Trump himself. He seems to gain where all the pundits predict losing. Second, the low decibel growing of the electorate is not heard by the tone-deaf idiots we call the Ruling Class. It is apparent that the number of voters coming out for Trump will swamp the vote...and the pundit canoes.

how many of these states, in addition to California, have been seeded in the last 6 years with ‘resettled immigrants’ ?

**Clinton Can’t Win in November**

I agree, mostly because of her health and her left leaning ideas.

People just don’t want her.

It a shame that McDonnell was done in by his wife's lack of “image discipline”.

Every GOP’er whoever runs must always understand they have no friends in the press. None! Not even if he/she was your best pal from high school. Any activity, “friendly favor” no matter how innocuous will be blown out of proportion to not just take you down but to ruin you. If a GOP’er can't accept that and act accordingly then they have no business running.

..... Does anybody have the stats about the latest Electoral College numbers? It will be very important which states are won.

.... As mentioned before .... This election will be all about turnout. Not to mention the amount of so called "Silent Voters" .... The people who will vote for Trump but would not dare tell friends and family for fear of reprisal or violence. Apparently there are quite a few that fit into this new demographic.

NJ and NY in the win column is what we need to think about here

Winners think big, like Trump

It is very possible

NJ and NY will depend on democrat turnout which will be dismal at best this election season. No one is thrilled over Hillary, even her own party thinks she is a criminal.

Think big, win big

Why do we limit ourselves to the same stupid states each election season? Because our friends at the MSMs tell us so?

whatever. I’m happy for your optimism.

Optimism ALONG with donations to FR and Trump go a lot further.

But that doesn’t leave room for MN, VT, NM, and WI.

” It’ll be the rigors of campaigning that’ll take her down.” You are right,thanks.

Per the news today, she is taking this weekend off.
