Things have changed a lot more than expected since 2012.

The engines of victory are Virginia, North Carolina, Nevada and Colorado.

...1) because Trump doesn't just need to lose, he needs to lose badly, and 2) I want any suspense that there might be on election night to be over as early in the evening as possible.

...the bigger the blowout, the better the chances for a Democratic Senate, and even possibly a Democratic House.

I'm so dearly hoping Trump takes his rage out on the rest of the Republican party for not endorsing him, or not endorsing him vigorously enough.

I want the Senate, I want the House, I want Ohio, I want everything that's even lightly blue-tinged right now or even a little pink, like Arizona and Georgia and Alaska.

then they can steal the ohio election for the dumpster and no one would be the wiser they committed voter suppression - they can say the dumpster won ohio..I believe that is exactly what the sec of state of ohio is doing..I just don't trust them..and that goes back to K Blackwell days...

I like the analogy someone made, Ohio is just a hood ornament....about right!

they are very loyal to John Kasich. I don't see them helping Trump, they are loathsome but not that loathsome

....snip...


Re-electing Jon Husted will only enable him to continue to try to keep non-Republicans from voting. He will only become more strident as he searches for a winning approach, so vote while you can.

As it stands, the only thing protecting the right to vote in Ohio is the Federal judiciary.
We have become Mississippi or Alabama.

If we don’t reject Husted’s policies, we will be silenced at the polls and the morphing of Ohio into the mindset of the Old Confederacy will be complete.

then this

he won't stop voter suppression..just find another way..

Very disparate voting populations it appears. Although there was a recent Ohio poll with HRC +9 but pollster not rated I believe.
