And he added that Trump could put Michigan and Minnesota in play.”
The only way to possibly do that is by preventing free-loaders from voting. Not likely.
The more people are exposed to Hillary, the less support whe will have. I can’t stand to hear the voice of Hillary. Wait until she starts to panic and goes into screech mode.
Nothing magic this year. Those states are the ones that count. That was why I didn’t think Cruz had a prayer, he was 17% in FL and 13% in OH.
I really wish we could get Burney to run on the Green Party ticket like Nader did, but I suspect he’d fear Arkancide.
last time I heard, Pennsylvania had a 51%-37% voter registration advantage for Democrats, whereas Iowa was only 33%-31% for Republicans & Ohio was something like 35%-33% Republican registration advantage. Arizona is considered to be a “red state”, but Janet Napolitano won two terms as governor in 2002 and 2006. Republicans seem to be able to win governorship of New Jersey, but GOP can’t get any presidents elected from there. Arizona has a ballot proposition “initiative & referendum” process.....and new taxes and new spending programs get passed that way....because there’s no organized opposition against big outsider money pushing legalized marijuana, etc.......so expect there to be a big push for a NATIONAL ballot prop proposal by Lizzie Warren & Obama after he leaves office, with money from Soros, et. Another thing about Arizona politics is that back in the late 1990s I think, Arizona decided to put the abortion issue to vote as a way of showing the courts what the people think to pressure judges into overturning Roe v Wade, but the results came out 2/3 to 1/3 against banning abortion. Sure, Roe versus Wade was court-ordered DE-Regulation of state-licensed medical doctors that put them above the law, with license to kill.....but since it was passed.....most people don’t want any radical changes made to ban abortion.....when put to a vote. Conservatives were surprised & shocked by the results of Arizona’s anti-abortion ballot proposition, but most people aren’t one-issue voters, who only think about banning abortion..even if they think it’s wrong & should be banned....when it comes down to it...they only want modest regulation of medical doctors on that issue....even in red states....
Minnesota always blue. I don’t see that changing. Trump should definitely win Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. Michigan is a real possibility. And Iowa is hard to gauge with their mixture of liberal and evangelical.

This is not just to primary the RINOs, but to take democrat seats, at the national and state level.
This may or may not turn out to be the case. But Trump winning marginal blue states is a possibility. He is, after all a former Dem and well to the Left of most Freepers on some things we hold pretty dearly around here that are favored by The Left.
But he is our guy so we need to do what we can to keep The Wicked Witch out of the White House.
So at the minimum we should be watching the State Level Trump vs. Clinton polling for the Swing States and the Marginal Blue States. For me the trends over the next few months in those polls will tell the tale. We will find out if choosing Trump was a brilliant move or a dud.
I’m hoping brilliant. But I’m not overly confident.
Just carve out all the cities and give them only one elector each.
Reince’s “transformation” sure happened in a hurry. Here he is on May 4 coming off as quite defiant: What a difference a day makes?

Reince is really worried about losing his job.
Donald Trump has a message and an agenda that cuts across all party and state lines..
As Joe Bite-me one said....it’s a 3 letter word J.O.B.S!
Hilary has no message and only the only agenda she has goes to the highest bidder!
.@realDonaldTrump will be presumptive @GOP nominee, we all need to unite and focus on defeating @HillaryClinton #NeverClinton— Reince Priebus (@Reince) May 4, 2016
In a 50\50 election, Ohio and Florida will go Republican. Virginia is tight but trending the wrong way. If Trump can take PA in addition to FL and OH, I don’t see a scenario that he loses. This assumes Trump holds Romney’s states.
Pakistan & Somalia vote Democrat.
Brazil, Mexico, Middle East vote Democrat.
This is an open borders, international election.
Definately the last national US election.
A related article:The Voting Bloc EVERY Pundit Never Discusses – “The Monster Vote”A few months before the primary season began, before Iowa cast its first vote, we pointed out this video (below) and the message it contains.The “Monster Vote” is the voting bloc of those who had turned away from politics; those how gave up, and/or just never voted in the first place. This video was/is prescient in retrospect when you consider the record-breaking volume of primary voters who have turned out to support Donald Trump…………………….
………………………Records are being broken, but no-one is discussing why. Donald Trump is not just getting republicans, independent and some democrat voters – He’s turning out the monster vote. Venues with 10,000…. 15,000… 20,000,… 30,000,… even 40,000 are being filled in a PRIMARY contest. A friggin’ “primary” contest !!................................
