 Trump's shrinking swing state map

Several battleground states appear unwinnable for the GOP presidential nominee.

By Kyle Cheney and Katie Glueck

Two months from Election Day, Donald Trump’s swing state map is shrinking.

Interviews with more than two dozen Republican operatives, state party officials and elected leaders suggest three of the 11 battleground states identified by POLITICO — Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia — are tilting so heavily toward Hillary Clinton that they're close to unwinnable for the GOP presidential nominee. But Trump remains within striking distance in the remaining eight states, including electoral giants Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania.

The increasing likelihood that Colorado, New Hampshire and Virginia are out of reach heightens the urgency for the Republican nominee to win those still-competitive states — and to recapture steam in Pennsylvania, where he once looked formidable but now trails by 10 points, according to POLITICO’s Battleground States polling average.

RCP has a function on their interactive electoral map.  I toyed around with it last week, and really couldn't come up with a plausible Trump victory.

This election ,IMO, is one that will be determined by events. For example, if we have a major economic meltdown 2008 style, advantage may go to Trump. Likewise, a terrorist attack on our soil and Clinton's response to it sounds tepid and indecisive to voters

Any more performances like last night by Mr Trump and advantage will remain Mrs. Clinton's

Bad news for the Trump camp.....if (and only if) they were capable of hearing or seeing or even acknowledging such bad news. 

And believe it or not....there are some forums out there where the members would either pile on/gang bang you for 'daring' to post that rather un-fawning article...or they would zot you.   

Thank God there is still freedom of speech on the internet.   :patriot:
