Democrats see danger signs in states where Clinton has not fully engaged
Washington Post ^ | June 25, 2016 | Philip Rucker and John Wagner

Hillary Clinton’s campaign strategists look at the general-election map and see a bounty of electoral college votes that are hers for the taking: in Florida and Virginia, Colorado and Nevada — all places where Donald Trump has badly damaged his standing with nonwhites and women.

Yet as Clinton plots her march to the White House, there are warning signs elsewhere — in states where her campaign is not yet making a full investment. And that has sparked concern from allies who say Trump must not be underestimated.

In Michigan, Pennsylvania and, to a lesser extent, Wisconsin, an affinity for Trump’s message of economic populism and nationalism has surprised many Democrats. These are big, industrial states they have carried for the past three decades — and where Clinton, so far, has not fully focused.

I hope Trump is focusing on all these states -- and that people will indeed listen to his message and actually get out and vote for him to " Make America Great Again for Everyone."

There is no hope! Only do!

I’ve always been dying to say something yoda like that really idn’t make any sense :)

But seriously, I HATE calling people and I am.

I will DRAG out any lazy friends who dont feel like getting out.

We ALL must volunteer in some way. Donating is volunteering. Making calls is. Getting through to three friends is!!

Please guys, do ONE of these things because I DONT WANT TO LOSE!!

Let’s fight like we’re down 2 and not up six.

That’s the way a baseball coach would handle it.

All joking aside, there’s NOTHING LEFT but civil war if he loses!!!!

If I sound negative about the polls sometimes its because i remember the patting on the back before romney lost and dont want to see a repeat.

Trump needs our help. Lets get er done!

I think it’s actually best not to be concerned (besides cheating, of course) with what they are doing to win.

We must focus all of our energy on OUR GUY.

Confidence is great, but there are too many on our side who think it’s in the bag for us.

It ain’t over till it’s over! Rocky said so :)

hillary does much WORSE with American voters when she IS engaged, when she visits, talks, speaks, campaigns, or worst of all...answers any questions

Lies lies lies lies lies lies lies

(why do you think she ISN’T campaigining hardly at all for these past months? her handlers have told her to hide from the voters....they resent, dislike, hate, abhor, and see through her whenever her lips move...)

There wappo goes again. One of these days they can shut up and do more good by converting themselves to a birdcage liner factory which is what they are now whether they admit it or not. My budgies Karl and Julie are waiting.

“..The American Angela Merkel....”

Hitlery’s rap sheet makes Merkel look like a girl scout.

Romney voters didn’t turn out on election day. Trump won’t have that problem. Party ID was not as ludicrous for Romney like it has been in the past few weeks. Pollsters are really jimmying with the numbers far more than they did 4 years ago.

Agreed but still lets please fight like he’s down 1 or up 1.

Let’s fight for this like nothing else matters the next 5 months.

Took a break today but will be calling again tomorrow.

People get SO NASTY sometimes and I Want to curse at them for being so wrong about Trump, but that would defeat the purpose :)

I admit i can only do it for limited amounts of time several time a day, and a bottle of JW Black doesn’t hurt!
