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.
I think you’re right.
The thing is that if we nominated another conventional GOP candidate, we’d probably suffer another conventional loss. Time to try something different and see what happens.
