Will the formerly imprisoned be allowed to vote now? The GOP has been trying to undo that wonderful civil rights achievement restoring the franchisement.

They have to win at least 2 of those 3, otherwise it seems impossible, especially since it looks more and more like some states like Arizona are out of play already.

be lucky to win one. Probably Florida

That along with Arizona would do it.

The retirement states would be such a great symbolic victory too!

Those are the poll averages.

One sign that Hillary was in trouble was that Ohio was not within her reach, although hindsight is 20/20.

what the fuck is wrong with Ohio? Being near the border this is where I will concentrate my campaign efforts in November (assuming Michigan is solid blue)... God Ohio? What is taking you so long?

I don't know how my home State went from being reliably purple to a solid red State not even worth defending anymore. I blame part of it on the Ohio Democratic Party, which has been ineptly run for a LONG time. They do a terrible job of identifying young up-and-comers and an even worse job of supporting the candidates they do run for big offices. Half the time, they do nothing but run sacrificial lambs, and then they pull their funding at the first sign of adversity.

It did in 2016 too, at least for the electoral college.

There's a LOT of right-wing hate radio in Ohio. You'd think it was 90% right-wingers living here based on the radio choices. It's been a constant drumbeat for awhile, and some of the propagandists, like Bill Cunningham at WLW, are among the worst in the country imo. I've never heard anyone on the national level as deplorable as him.

And there was a lot of animosity toward the Clinton's here. Cite all the national stats you want, people DID lose their jobs that went to Mexico after NAFTA. It was something that Republicans had strongly pushed, of course, but the right-wingers around here would never admit it. The disinformation is so strong that I've actually heard coworkers make comments like, "This company seems like it's turning liberal, trying to keep more money for the top and less for the regular workers here."
