1 there aren't a hell of a lot of "swing states." Giving that extra Nebraska vote to the GOP, all that remains are 10 states, totaling 116 electoral votes, that have offered their electoral votes to both parties since 2000.
2 the Republicans have to win the outsized majority of those "swing" electoral votes to win the presidency. If the Democrats can hold onto just 24 percent of the electoral votes "in play," they win the White House.
Oh no .
This post reminds me of the time when Trump lost the 2016 Election, then Republicans lost the House, Senate, Governorships, yada yada yada...
First time in decades that a political party has deemed a candidate the nominee, DNC/King Hillary, before any votes are thrown. She will be the new Walter Mondale or if you rather John McCain.
Population has turned against the "establishment" and MSM and the candidates they try to choose for us. Bernie Sanders & Trump fill arenas, while everyone else can barely fill a room.
Middle Class is angry & mad and when that happens, it's always a game changing election. Think 1968, 1984, 1992.
No, I still waiting for you to prove that the Democrats have lost the middle class, that is just laughable to read whenever you write that, I laugh almost as hard as when you say Oregon will go red this election.
Trump the Birther is destined to lose this election and I am guessing Waldo will disappear shortly after that happens.
Waldo, like I, are both still here.
Enjoying the wonderful Trump presidency, and 25 years plus each of SC associates Gorsuch & Kavanaugh.
This didn't age well. Ohio might as well be a red state now
Ohio is gone as is Iowa. Some polls suggest Iowa is in play but I doubt it. The last 4-6 years it’s been heavily trending red. In addition due to changes in demographics and population age Michigan Wisconsin and Minnesota are becoming more red

I do think Ohio has become a very difficult state for Democrats to win. I'm not so sure about the other Midwest states, particularly given the midterm results and the fact that Trump hardly received more votes than Romney, or in some cases less.
Minnesota did not care much for Hillary Clinton, but every other Democrat on a statewide ballot for the last several years has won decisively. The state also has a high percentage of educated adults in a large metro area setting - so a "maximize the WWC" strategy has less potential there than elsewhere in the Midwest.

Minnesota is definitely a long shot. I’m not sure though how much some of the stuff from Ilhan Omar could cause some Indys or centrist Dems to stay home or vote for Trump though. It’s part of the reason I expect Wisconsin and New Mexico to possibly be in play as well. The two recently elected governors there have gotten into trouble early with a bunch of the electorate and Evers barely won as it was
