I think TX is in play and AZ, GA and NC are now out of reach for him. Time to focus on House races. LonePirate Oct 2016 #11

And when he was finally forced to admit - for him it's all about the SCOTUS.

Translation - man who thinks it is mans purview to control women's bodies is willing to vote for and endorse a man who abuses women's bodies. Not really that shocking.

the money in Ohio or Florida. They may see at least one of those as obtainable.

Trump hasn't had any real chances in Virginia for 45 days. If he was spending any money at all there, he's a fool.

But Wisconsin had slightly better odds. That's why this rift with Ryan is a huge deal. That basically takes Wisconsin off the map, not that Trump was even welcome to campaign there.

And we will probably not see any more appearances in Pennsylvania.

Writing off all those states means that Trump must do a 100% sweep of Colorado, Nevada, Florida, North Carolina, Iowa, and Arizona -- and he's behind in all of those states today.

Trump is doing Florida and Ohio. Where is Pence? I don't think he has been out since the bus video came out, The fund raisers he was supposed to do got cancelled for lack of donors. Looks to me like Donald is on his own now. Pence is saying "I'm outta here."

OK, Pence is back on Trump's calendar. I guess they must have worked things out. Of course, with the 5 ladies (or is it more) coming forth with actual molestation incidents, maybe Pence will go back into hiding.

But as of this minute, Pence is schedules for PA on Thursday and FL on Friday.

Maybe he should focus on Texas? At the rate he's going it could become in play. A full decade before the Deomocratic Party ever expected.
