The sky is falling in OH trump has more votes than Hillary

Du's you do know a primary is different than a general with 95% of the ballots counted tonight you know how many total votes repugs have 1.84mill you do know in the gen 2012 Obama got over 2.8 mil but if that is not good Kerry who lost in 2004 had over 2.7 mil or go back to 2000 Gore who also lost the state received over 2.1 mil votes

so relax a primary is a lot different than a gen. whoever gets the nom for the Dems will win the gen comfortably there is not enough white trump voters to win the WH

First of all, after eight years of a Democrat in the White House it only makes sense that Republican energy is going to be higher but I'm not worried. This was the same narrative said of Obama in 08. Oh Hillary fans will not vote for Obama. Oh he can't win. Oh this. Oh that. Once this is over and she picks a VP and the debates happen and the choice is clear, she will win if she's the nominee. Bernie will win if he's the nominee. The Democratic nominee will win. I'm not feeding into this crap that she's doomed if she's the nominee and can't win the general.

Gerrymandering abounds, and people still have a taste of the Clinton's that lingers on the pallet. There will be all kinds of ugliness. If Hill can get a story together and keep it she may have a chance but she has a history of mispeaking. She has sniper fire and according to some of her supporters here tonight, the threat of indictment. Time will tell but I wouldn't count on Ohio.

92% (or 28 out of 30) of the time Ohio has gone for the President. It will be a trick to do without Ohio and we know what happens in FL!

Obama barely won Florida, with huge turnout of minorities and youth. Clinton isn't going to get that...she'll def lose Florida.

voted Kasich to stop Trump and hope the Rs go to a brokered convention.

The D cross over that went for Trump, sadly seems to be pro-Trump according to local news.
