If SC is close, shouldn't that mean MS and LA are close?

LA probably not.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

There are 538 electoral votes.

lmao how did i not figure that out jesus

anyway, i'm thinking we've got a shot at a clean sweep here

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Another wild battleground state has appeared. If SC is going to probably go blue in this election what other state is in danger of going blue that no one has barely polled yet.

Texas?

I'm not sure if the Ford crack video is as absurd as Trump currently, and needing to think this over in the first place is ridiculous.

 

[royalan]

Trump speaking now. So low energy. Sad!

Also, why does he keep namedropping Putin and Russia. You'd think he'd want to avoid that with all the recent press...

What are the most recent Missouri numbers?

Last two polls were Trump by 2 and Clinton by 1.

Political Polls ‏@PpollingNumbers 2m2 minutes ago
'South' Carolina General Election:

Trump 41% (+2)
Clinton 39%
Johnson (L) 5%
Stein (G) 2%

WHY IS SOUTH IN QUOTES!?

MS maybe. LA and AL? nah.

I dream of an 84 Reagan-esq electoral landslide for Hillary.

Come on, Trump, make it happen! I know you can do it!

I cannot fathom a world in which she is down by 2 in SC, but not very, very close to leading (or tying) in Texas.

 

[gutter_trash]

Trump now spinning that the 2007/2008 mortgage lender crisis is all Obama's fault blaming him for the drop of home ownership showing a chart

but not explaining that the crash happened before Obama was inaugurated

There's a pretty sizable black population in South Carolina. Since, it's not an "immigrant" population, there won't be as much of a polarization.

This, my friends, is why people wanted Donald to be the nominee.

Well, Obama created ISIS in 1999 along with First Lady Hillary Clinton using their White House TARDIS....So, the fact that it took Obama until 2008 to destroy the economy is sad! He's really slacking.

Don't forget the assassination Cpt. Khan in 2004.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Honestly ill be suprised if Russia causes anymore shit with Trumps poll numbers being so horrible. If this was a closer race, or somehow gets closer in October, then i can see them pulling this stunt again.

However if its clear Clinton is about to be POTUS, i dont see any gains from openly trying to fuck with the election again. They would be better kept to keep their cards face down for a later time.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

This quadruple downing of focusing on such a tremendously popular president is really some tripping up a flight of stairs level shit

Ana Navarro's snark gives me liiiiiiiifffffeeeee

 

[IggyChooChoo]

LA probably not.

I thought LA had a higher black population than SC though. Maybe I am misremembering.

 

[GurgleBot20]

Don't forget the assassination Cpt. Khan in 2004.

Or his founding of the Eugenics program in the 90s that gave birth to Khan Noonien Signh.

Sure, but you're also lacking major metropolitan centers like Houston, Dallas, Austin, etc. We only have exit poll data from TX from 2008. But, it was 13% black and 20% Latino. The Black vote will break along the 98/2 lines as 2008. I don't think Trump will manage to get 35% of the Latino vote in TX this year. College graduates broke 60/38 for McCain. If Hillary can manage to keep Trump under 20% with Latinos, increase turnout to 22-25% of the electorate....maintain her edge with white women and the college educated....she has to have an outside chance.

Didn't they watch the RNC? Republicans freed the slaves and passed the civil rights act, over the objections of racist Democrats.

Toughest thing for some people to wrap their heads around: states make up the nation. If there's a 6 pt swing nationally, states move too.

(((Harry Enten))) ‏@ForecasterEnten 27m27 minutes ago
More black voters in GA than SC, but the vote by race breakdown between 2 very similar in 2012. Trump's white lead has shrunk in both in 16.

I feel bad for Lindsay Graham. 53% of South Carolinians want to protect LGBT people from job discrimination, but none of them want him to keep his job because they don't like him.

Sad.

Its a fair point but what we're seeing now goes beyond that. Obama won by eight points nationally in '08 but still lost SC by 10. The current polls in places like SC and GA are showing a split where college whites are becoming more Democratic and high school or less are more Republican. If that continues its going to change the elector college map for both parties.

Nikki Haley fucked up this cycle badly. Will come back to haunt her in the future.

Nikki Haley is Scott Walker all over again. A favorite on paper but will do nothing but disappoint on the larger stage.

They might not understand what MVP is I guess.

 

[whyamihere]

If she's down by 2 in SC, she's up in GA and even more in NC and VA, even though anything past VA is gravy.

I don't know what Trump's path to victory looks like.

If things hold in relatively the same position come November, election night coverage will be super exciting to watch, not because of the overall outcome, but to see which red states turn blue.

Obama got 11% of the white vote in Mississippi in 2008. (It's the only year we have exit polls from). He lost college educated people, no matter their race, by 30 points. McCain won by 14. She would need about 36% of the white vote....

[Vyrance]

If these states are close, shouldn't Montana be looked at as well? I remember in 2008 Obama only lost it by 2%

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Hillary doing better than Obama with whites should have been obvious, but republicans spent the last 4 years theorizing that she would somehow perform just as bad while also doing worse with minorities. That's essentially the argument you have to make in order to get a republican into the White House. Perhaps Trump being the nominee is good news, given that even smart republican campaign people will simply dismiss a lot of messages from this election "because Trump." In reality it shouldn't be a shock that a white democrat is doing better with whites than a black democrat.
