Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumMoving on to the general: What red states can Hillary win in the fall?
I really don't see any 2012 Obama state going over to Trump in the fall. I would be shocked if they did. I do see three red states flipping to Hillary: NC, Georgia, and Indiana.
Can she pick up one of these three states? I think so. What say you?

(50,562 posts)The entire Eastern Seaboard, the entire West Coast, and Hawaii together add up to 272 electoral votes. If we can sweep the East Coast, combine that with the four-state Pacific sweep (WA, OR, CA and HI) we'll get, and we have it in the bag even if the entire rest of America goes for Trump. In reality that won't happen; we'll get IL, we almost certainly will get CO, NM and NV are probably ours...we wouldn't necessarily NEED Texas but I'd like to have it just for the demoralizing effect it'd have on the Repukes, and if Hillary runs with Julian Castro as her veep - which she should anyway because he's great - there's a decent chance we'll get it.
