I like Biden's chances in Ohio more than other states that I see touted so often on DU, such as GA and TX.

I also remember seeing posts from some big campaign donors here in 2016, proclaiming that Ohio was hereafter a "lost cause" because we're "all stupid" now. Hogwash!

I felt a little insulted by generalizations that I saw in 2016. I wouldn't make those kinds of generalizations even for states like Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, etc. (Those states are indeed a lost cause for now, in terms of the electoral college, but I mean the generalizations about education, intelligence and political affiliations for everyone in those states.)

New Marquette Law School Poll finds Biden widening his lead over Trump in WI. Results put Biden at 49%, Trump at 41%. In early May, it was Biden 46%, Trump 43%.

Trump & Co will have to spend resources there to combat Biden.

I can dig it.

So,
It is completely plausible that Biden could win there. Not only that, but Hillary was leading in the polls there until September 2016.

winnable for Biden.

Considering that Dotard won this state by 9 points in 2016, it's a bad result for him.
