Let’s get the swing states locked up, and move on to the GOP toss-ups!
Life is good…
After days of Trump’s dumps it’ll be nice to have nice normal policy.
The Hillary people always appear energetic and in control of their facial muscles…
People of color here and there, can’t help noticing by contrast…
Okay, been away from the computer and the world for a few hours. Did I miss anything?
If you already know Katrina Pierson is a lying crazy person then you’re pretty much current with things.
LOL. Yeah, while waiting for Hillary’s speech, I’m reading a few other stories. Right now, reading about Hillary’s appeal to Mormons in Utah. That’s good. That’s positive. Katrina = Liar … nothing new there.
Trump is currently in fourth place among black voters. You read that correctly: He’s trailing Hillary Clinton, Libertarian Gary Johnson and Green Party nominee Jill Stein.
Heh. I’m reading it’s a big reason he’s got southern states trending blueish. He wants to go back to the old days but as one character said on “The Wire,” the thing about the old days is they’re the old days. Demography is not your friend, Donald, any more than your idiot brain is.
Yay!! Hillary!! – She looks so good, happy, very healthy. Damn, how do these folks do it? President Obama, Biden, Hillary – they run 22 hours a day for days on end. I couldn’t do that and then look so good.
I took a look at your link and this had just come up.

But as someone else posted earlier if we don’t get 60 in the Senate (and win the House) it will well and truly be the obstructionist Obama years all over again.
She’s so right to speak about water infrastructure along with clean energy infrastructure, etc. Water is vital for every single individual, growing our food, our health, etc. Water wars are getting worse in the West – and around the world, things are shaping up to be focused on water. Clean, healthy water is vital to all of us. Thank you, Hillary, for speaking to this issue so well. I’ve been concerned about this ongoing problem for a couple decades now, since when I lived in California.
Here’s one more thing. This is a fascinating piece by Nate Cone.
Donald Trump’s Red-State Problem
If you looked only at the blue states, you probably wouldn’t think that Donald J. Trump was in huge trouble. The recent 10-point polling deficits in states like Michigan or Pennsylvania may sting but aren’t jaw-dropping.
But the red states are a totally different story. Polls show him trailing or barely ahead in reliably Republican states like Georgia, Arizona and Utah, even Kansas. He has even trailed in some of these states when the national polls were more favorable to him than they are now.
It’s not a straightforward demographic story. Despite his struggles in some states neighboring Nevada, Mr. Trump still seems competitive in the state, perhaps the most diverse of the Obama-era battleground states.
What’s going on?
He is still expected to hang on and win most Southern states, but his strategy just doesn’t work as well in all the red states, especially in the South.
The simple way to think about Mr. Trump’s strength is in terms of education among white voters.
…
Mr. Trump is losing ground in most of the places where there are far more college-educated white Romney voters.
Wow – fuck me hard – Kansas?? Even if we can’t win there, it’s great to give him a run for his ill-gotten money. But, wouldn’t that be the coolest ever? – to win in Kansas, Utah and Georgia on top of all the other reliable blues??
Oh, here we go. Words matter, Donnie!!
Exactly, Hillary – drive it home about his temperament and how important that is when someone is Commander-in-Chief.
Yep. Make 'em play defense where they ordinarily wouldn’t have to. Every buck spent in a red state is one they can’t spend in a purple or blue one. He’s got a 50-front war going on.
Friends don’t let friends vote Trump…I like it.
And he has basically no people on the ground in those states!! He is so ill-equipped and ill-prepared for this fight. Potentially (potentially), this could really set the GOP back a decade or two.
Yes! Short, sweet and packed to make a strong punch. Thank you, Madame President!
