TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Returning to Ohio for the first time in a month, Hillary Clinton tried to make up for lost time Monday with a fiery populist pitch aimed at upending rival Donald Trump in a battleground state where he's tapped into voters' economic anxieties.

"He abuses his power, games the system, and puts his own interests ahead of the country's," Clinton said during a rally in Toledo, one of two stops she was making in Ohio.

In previous election years, any sign of shakiness in Ohio — long a crown jewel of presidential politics — would have a campaign on edge. But Democrats' increasing reliance on minority voters to win presidential elections has opened new avenues to the White House for Clinton, and turned Ohio — where about 80 percent of the state's population is white — into a less essential state.

SEE, SEE you right-wingers, even though whoever wins Ohio went on to become President in the last 12 or so Presidential election cycles, IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE, this is 2016 and the year of the Woman!

Oh, LeBron James endorsed Hillary and she's still behind in Ohio?

Well, obviously that's because of racism by all you Ohio crackas'!

Yeah, that's the ticket!

Can anyone imagine them singing the same tune if Hiliary were ahead in Ohio’s polls?

LOLOLOL!

That is HILARIOUS!

Coming from her, my sides hurt.

I pray Trump throws that back at her in the next debate, just to see her face and try and defend herself, if no other reason.

The apparent lack of self-awareness on the part of Crooked Hillary is breathtaking...

Well, it is true. If you win Florida + Pennsylvania, then you don't need Ohio. You will probably limp across the finish line. Al Gore came close to doing that in 2000.

But the very fact the enemedia is now dismissing Ohio tells you what?

This is a deliberate tactic of accusing your opponent of things that you yourself have done, in order to muddy the waters and claim that they are both guilty. This is all she has left.

This is all she has left.

She has nothing left other than her continual lies and unpopularity.

..aimed at upending rival Donald Trump in a battleground state where he's tapped into voters' economic anxieties.

Hmm, since Hillary is running on 0bama's "stellar" economic record and she's promising more or worse of the same, the fine folks in Ohio have reason to support Trump.

Al Gore came close to doing that in 2000.

And he lost his own state of Tennessee, (thank you smart Tennessee voters!)

Where exactly is Hillary's state? Arkansas? New York? Illinois?

Since she has already lost FL, I guess soon we’ll see headlines like “Hawaii a ‘Must Win’ for Trump.”

It's called Projection. Charge your opponent with the evils you are actually guilty of. At a minimum you create confusion.
