Anyone else having the feeling that more and more states will actually go Blue...

[Javaman]

that were never blue before or weren't for a very long time, due to the tRump effect?

[oberliner]

1. Like which ones?

Are there particular states you have in mind?

[mcar]

8. Georgia appears to be in play

As are Arizona and New Mexico, I believe.

[gopiscrap]

12. possibly Utah also

[book_worm]

2. I think there is a real possibility Arizona will go blue if Latino voters

really turn out and I think there is a possibility (smaller one) that Georgia might go blue especially if African-American voters turn out in force.

Utah is a pipe dream. I still see Trump winning there but by a lot less than Romney did. That is what probably will happen. Clinton may pick up 2-3 "red" states but Trump will win most of them but by much reduced margins and that helps Dems, too.

3. There is a real opportunity. Big money will make sure we don't use 50-state strategy. eom

[Stubborn]

4. Unfortunately, no.

I think Hillary will win, but I think it's going to be very close. It will still come down to Ohio and Florida.

[dawg]

7. I think it will be close, but I don't think Ohio and Florida will be the key.

She may win either or both of those states, but I believe Virginia, Pennsylvania & Colorado will earn her enough electoral votes to win even if Trump were to carry OH and FL.

[Stubborn]

9. We'll see. Right now I think she will lose Virginia or Pennsylvania.

Too many knuckle-draggers in those states for me to be that confident.

16. WHAT!!?!?!?!

PA has not voted red in a presidential election since 1988.

[Stubborn]

17. And, no one predicted that the racist, misogynist, birther would win the GOP nomination.

It's a crazy time.

[Glassunion]

18. Trump does not stand a chance here in PA.

We superseded their turnout for the primaries.

Sure we have some knuckle dragging idiots, however we have a lot more voters that fit right into her demographics that she is doing quite well in.

Mark my words. Hillary will take the state.

[rufus dog]

19. PA IS IN PLAY!!!!!!!

Wait, that is what they tried to sell in 2008 and 2012, and it wasn't close. Polls today have a 10 point lead in PA.

Concern is noted!

[mountain grammy]

5. Maybe Utah

Trump sure has pissed off the Mormons. Maybe Arizona, maybe NC.

[oberliner]

10. Romney should endorse Johnson

That would put Utah in play for sure.

[mountain grammy]

13. he just might he sure won't endorse trump

[HERVEPA]

6. Unlikely, but Hillary should still win rather big.

[Wednesdays]

11. A lot depends on GOTV

So, we can't afford to be complacent.

[Nitram]

14. Texas will become Blue as the Latin demographic increases in the state.

[ananda]

15. That is, if they register and vote!

The demographic is already there.

[Nitram]

21. Trump has brought about a huge increase in political awareness among Hispanics.

They are registering to vote in unprecedented numbers. Many are also applying for citizenship.

20. OK, Indiana came out of nowhere in 2008 remember.

A state that was always double digit republican flipped for one election.

So stay with me here, don't call me friggen crazy,.....KANSAS!

It is in Chaos. Republicans play on fear, because it works on the Republican brain. But Kansans fell for it and if a large enough percentage of them figure out they were fooled perhaps they sit out one cycle.

Thus Kansas flips, for one strange election cycle only.
