CA, OR, WA, HI, NM, CO, MN, WI, MI, IL, VA, DC, MD, DE, NJ, CT, PA, NY, RI, MA, NH, VT, ME

States in the GOP's pocket: 104 (18)

can/will win. And every single time, the Dem candidate wins by at least 5 points.

PA will never be a toss up state. I don't care what the punditry says.

Trump will not do anything, but he could incite his supporters to act.

They are just crazy enough to follow through.

Very sad, and very irresponsible to whip people into such a
paranoid frenzy that they could consider such a response

With a Senate race that's in a dead heat against Blunt. Blunt was supposedly safe but Kander has almost passed him.
I met Kander Friday. Very well spoken, intelligent, served in Afghanistan, does a great job in his current office. He had the crowd in his hand. He is someone to keep an eye on in the future. I think he's destined for bigger things in the party.

Probably still at least republican leaning. Georgia does look very much in play. Not sure Ky is safely Trump either though it probably is because no polling has been done there sense 2015 and that poll actually had Clinton up +3. Same with South Carolina last poll taking there was also in 2015 with Trump only up 5.

Both Ky and South Carolina could be won in this election cycle. Especially the way Trump has been stumbling lately. However Democrats probably aren't going to spend a lot of resources in those states,because we don't need them. Would be nice to get them though.

C'mon, peeps! This isn't difficult to understand. It's no different than his birth certificate bullshit; it doesn't have to have one iota of truth attached to it, his followers will eat it up and Hillary will be a usurper the day she takes office. They'll have taken away her 'legitimate' claim to the presidency, just as they did with Obama.

The right feels the White House, the entire government, is somehow god-given only to them, but every now and then Democrats come along to muck it up. Funny...you'd think if their god had such power, he'd steal the elections for them every year!
