The Trump campaign’s internals are SUBSTANTIALLY different than what we’re seeing from the MSM if they think they can steal Maryland.
Correct. According to Fox’s polling Texas and Arizona are now toss ups and even Alaska is starting to slip, but Trump can win Maryland? Crazy stuff.
Probably easier than Virginia. Baltimore city is in despair and will not show up to vote for Hillary. So, that leaves Montgomery and PG counties and Trump will get a chunk of those votes. The rest of the state is Trump country.
They may be different, but how do we know they are accurate (re: Trump’s own internals)? Romney thought he had the election won heading into Election Day based on their internals. Lost by almost 4%.
sure, the MSM is just making up crap to try to influence voting.
If you’ve read the Wikileaks and see what they’re capable of, making up some numbers is nothing.
They are because they take a good sample.
Like someone else said, West Maryland is Trump country (close to WV). But also Southern Maryland is very Catholic and generally pro military. The counties that circle DC and Baltimore are the problem. But I think Trump will take a bite out of the black vote in those areas.
If Obama does a campaign appearance in Baltimore or the DC suburbs in the closing days of the campaign, you should take that as a clear sign they are worried.
I had occasion to drive from northeastern Maryland (Harford County) down to Ocean City, MD. today.
To liven up the trip, my wife agreed to count Trump, Clinton and Johnson signs on the way down. 40% Maryland, 60% Delaware.
Granted, signs are anecdotal and don’t translate directly into votes but here are the results-(Multiple signs at residences and businesses were counted as one).
Results-48 Trump, 6 Johnson, 2 Clinton.
I ran several states by Team Trump this morning. Without specifics, suffice it to say that narrowly they are at 272, with 30 or more EVs very much in play.
If you look at the bluest county in OH, Cuyahoga, and this morning Rs had akready early voted 95% of their 2012 level while Ds were only at 52%....? Well, you can see what’s coming.
If Trump takes MD it’s hard to think of a state Hillary will win. Between DC sucklers in eastern MD and huge minority population in Baltimore, there is t a state more demographically favorable to Dems.
