Trump’s path to an electoral college victory isn’t narrow. It’s nonexistent. [flashback]

It would be a mistake to call Trump’s current path to an electoral-college victory narrow. It is nonexistent. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, once part of the Trump scenario, have never been “in play,”

“According to the post-election book “Shattered”, the Clinton campaign did not have their own pollster. They relied on media polls, most of them national polls. They had no idea what was going on in Wisconsin, Michigan, western Pennsylvania. Which is why she did not bother to campaign in those places. She was incompetent.”

I guess they can make that claim, but I DO NOT BELIEVE IT, for a second. They had pollsters telling her what color to paint her toenails.

The reason she didn’t show up in the Upper Midwest was very simple, it only HURT HER with the bubba vote, and she couldn’t rely on blacks and Hispanics there simply because there’s not enough of them in that part of the country.

So rather than drive up her negatives even more with the bubbas by having her face plastered on local news, it made more sense to just flood the airways with advertisements attacking Trump. Nearly worked too.

Trump could not have won. Nobody they know voted for him.

That disconnect with reality goes back at least to Nixon.

“Undocumented Migrants” is the third rail for all Democratic politicians.

It is amazing that their consultants are so stupid they haven’t figured it out yet.

This schmuck still tweets out his rubbish including the blue wave forecast. How can a guy that was as wrong as you can get during 2016 get paid for his biased propaganda?

“She was incompetent.”

Not to mention arrogant and unlikeable.

The “Blue Wave” is coming... there’s “no path” for the GOP to win in 2018!

Rothenburg is claiming that the Blue Wave is alive and well in ‘18. Watch. Vegas will now be overrun by plungers betting red.

They have a poll out right now saying some 66% oppose the family separation and 61% oppose the wall. Somehow nobody seemed to notice that the poll was 26R, 32D, 39I and that of the I’s, over 70% voted for Her.

That’s nothing more than push polling at its worst.
