This thread is just full of the City-Data Anti-Trump pundits predicting which state will go for which candidate. I just don't understand why you C-D pundits don't get it. Time-after-time in this election season, Trump has shown that the norm cannot be predicted...yet you analyze it like it's a typical election. I have no idea what it will take for you to get that...maybe you never will. But, I, for one, surely enjoy watching each prediction fall.

Go Trump!

HC polled with the winning % vs Sanders in Michigan. She lost. Reason: NAFTA. Trump has outperformed his poll numbers repeatedly. hC has underperformed them.


2016 is not going to be a predictable election-to the extent past POTUS races were. At least not in several states.


This is going to be a wild ride.

It's always the strategy, in every presidential election, to focus on the top swing states and even Dumb and Dishonest Donald knows that -- or at least the people he hires to think for him know that.

While Trump said 15 states, the Fox map only showed ten.

Interesting that one of those states is California, which is a long shot. Pennsylvania in every election is thought of as a "swing state" but it hasn't gone to the Republican side since 1988.

While you say Dumb Donald doesn't expect to win them all, he needs to win close to all. Trump is focusing on states that haven't gone Republican in 28 years that have large minority populations, that likely will vote for Clinton.

The Jersey shore is suburban white and always votes Republican. Go to the NJ cities, where the minorities live, and look for Trump bumper stickers there. New Jersey hasn't gone to the Republican side since 1988 either.

It's interesting that the Fox map didn't list Colorado or Nevada. Maybe even Trump realizes that infuriating Hispanics cripples R chances in the Southwest. That's a "Rust Belt or Bust" map.

He's got an uphill battle, and his primary tactics will not help him.

Once again, you Trump supporters are wrong. Clinton lost Michigan because it was an open primary state with virtually no voting restrictions. Same reason she lost Indiana. If both states were closed primaries, she wouldn't of lost.

Trump is only winning because he's brining out already registed voters who dont vote in primaries and they were already Republicans to begin with. Less than 10% of Trump's voters are first time voters and the GOP primaries are overwhelmingly old white men.

The General is different from the primaries...their arent enough old white GOP voters to save you guys this year or ever again for that matter.

No it doesn't. That's the most absurd statement one can come up with. Wishful thinking on your part. You don't see us out there blocking highways and jumping up and down on Police Cars. Anyone that believes that is delusional.
