1. Trump is done in Ohio

The republican governor is against him, a senior republican who has M.S. is on
record as being against Trump because of Trump's making fun of that NY Times
reporter with the neuro-muscular disease, and Trump really has no campaign staff
and organization set up in the state.

GOP can't win without Ohio. Even if they somehow took Florida. They need Ohio and several other swing states to carry the day.

Ain't happening, even if they somehow manage to get Trump under control at this point and start toning him down.

Women
Hispanics
Blacks
GLBT (Pence)
Vets (attack on Khan family)
Scientists and Environmentalists (burn more coal / climate change isn't real)
Japanese Americans*

Although Trump is still leading w/white males who didn't go to college .... I know some
of these folk and many of them aren't even registered to vote but they are big Trump
supporters .... one asked me if he just needed his driver's license to vote and I told
him that should be plenty.

I wouldn't be surprised to see several red states turn blue this fall .... Arizona, Georgia,
Texas (long shot), Missouri, Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina all might be in
play.

West Virginia, KY, and TN all can be counted on voting against their own best interest
and Oklahoma, Wyoming, and Idaho are safe for Trump because the dumb ass is strong
there.

Trump's making fun of the NY Times reporter did not play real well w/a senior GOP
guy in OH (he's been around for years and both sides like him) because he has M.S..

If Hillary holds core blue states and adds VA and CO, she wins.

If that somehow happens, I think this country can mostly blame the idiots that reside in the hills of the southern part of the state.
