Blue Wall Crumbling: CO, PA Now Dead Heats, Clinton Camp Abandoning Ohio?

Townhall ^ | Sep 26, 2016 | Guy Benson

Posted on by xzins

They'll strenuously deny it, I'm sure -- and it does seem a bit far-fetched that a deeply-funded campaign would abandon 18 precious electoral votes in a state in which their candidate is within the margin of error. Then again, Trump has led in five of the last six statewide polls in Buckeyeland -- and actions speak louder than words. National Democrats are pulling up stakes in Ohio's Senate race, and now CNN notes that the state has been conspicuously absent on Hillary's travel schedule lately. "So long Ohio?" Hmmm:

Its been 20 days since Hillary Clinton stepped foot into this classic battleground state, and shes not expected to visit it again in the month of September...That is a nod to the political reality theyre facing, her campaign. She is struggling mightily among white voters.

At the very least, the Clinton camp has decided that her time ought to be concentrated elsewhere -- a seemingly significant concession from an operation that not terribly long ago was whispering to reporters about the many paths to a "commanding" victory they enjoyed. As for the "political reality" they're now grappling with among white voters, the final Washington Post/ABC News survey prior to the opening presidential debate shows a dead heat race. The 'tightening vs. expanding race' see-saw hinges back in the anti-Hillary direction with this result, which represents a three-point shift against Mrs. Clinton since the last installment of this series, and a six-point swing since early August. Keep in mind that these numbers closely reflect new national polling from Bloomberg and Quinnipiac. This race is officially a jump ball:

It wouldn’t surprise me if they pull out of Ohio. Clinton signs in Ohio are an absolute rarity. They probably have to pay people to put them up.

Typically, campaigns will abandon states, 1-2 weeks out from the election. If hillary is leaving Ohio 6-weeks out, that is Hugh and Series. If Ohio is going for Trump now, makes me wonder about tradition blue states like Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, NJ, NY and Connecticut.

WI, PA. Yes. MI very possible. NY. if he pulls this one off its a rout. I don't see the others but you never know.



To: xzins

Co is showing Trump now and trending. It’s probably a 5 point lead there for Trump, with MSM special sauce of 3-5% points because the opponent is a Democrat and has a vagina. Pa I suspect is a really a dead heat, as is Va. I think Trump out of the two takes Va and loses narrowly in Pa. Who cares as long as Trump is declared the winner in November. Be nice to really humiliate Hillary with a 320+EV win, but I am tempering my expectations. Lot’s of scumbags, liars, theives, degenerates and gibmedats out there who would vote for Lucifer is they promised free stuff

I think her travel limitations meant she had to give up trying in Ohio. Her campaign is slowed down by all her ailments.



To: xzins

If every one of the “removed from voter rolls” which were overturned yesterday by the liberal hack leftist Fed judge, is hijacked by Soros and voted D, how many would that be? Is that enough to win /steal for Hitlery?

To: proust

Slowed by the ailments she won’t admit to??? But then she is superwoman, she powers through, according to her and her henchmen. . .........



To: xzins

In a month from now we’ll be debating whether Clinton will lose Illinois and New Jersey.

no she is not - she is just tired. She will be in OH when she has her medication and rest. They cant afford to loose OH.

I like the jump ball analogy, Trump is 6’2” and Clinton is a non athletic 5’4”!

My understanding is that the ruling did not affect the 600,000 DEAD PEOPLE that were purged from the rolls. It only had to do with those who hadn’t voted in 6 years, iirc. Which, by the way, has been our law for decades and decades. At least back to the 70’s. Suddenly, it’s wrong???

It could be she’s that sick. Did you see the long coat she was wearing in 70 degree weather. Something’s wrong with her.

"By the way, Ohio has been canceled, but that's ok, that's not the demographic we're after..."



To: xzins

Twitter feeds for Clinton campaign operatives are still seeking volunteers to fly into Ohio, Iowa, and Utah to knock on doors for Clinton. They are trying to repeat Obama's strategy of sending out volunteers to knock on doors of possible voters. They have been doing it here in NH too, sending over moonbats from Massachusetts - they probably couldn't find anybody in NH to volunteer for them.



To: freeandfreezing

People in Ohio are embarrassed to admit they support Clinton. Everyone knows she’s corrupt. And they just don’t like her. They know a weasel when they see a weasel.

Appeals court: Ohio elections chief wrongly purged voters I read this yesterday. The article says this leaves the dems to have open voter fraud. the fix is in for her in Ohio. Maybe that is why they are pulling out. No need to spend the money if you have already won the state.
