I have seen at least two articles now talking about the massive support he seems to be getting in my home area, Youngstown, Ohio.
When I grew up, even if you were conservative you registered Democrat if nothing else to have some say-so in the primary process. Yet Trump kicked the ass of John Kasich in that part of Ohio during the primary even though Kasich won the state. Trump as 2nd place finisher, received more votes than the winner. Trump’s 35% 2nd place finish was good for 727,500 to Kasich’s 956,750 (Approx) or close to 47%. Hillary took Ohio with 679,000 to 513,500 for Bernie.
Keeping in mind Trump could very easily flip Ohio, NC and FLA I’m really surprised the amateur political scientists on here, are not at least a little concerned. He was a distant 2nd and still got a lot more votes. I am looking at some professor’s model who predicts races based on contested primaries, early in the race to see where the passion and energy is. I don’t know how his predictor works during say 2012 where Obama was unopposed. My guess is his model is only worth a damn in years like this.
In any case I can’t see how anyone on either side can spike footballs at this point. You could literally see this come down to something like Nevada, Colorado, etc.
I’m wondering if that NeoCon leading Utah will end up winning that state. While this year is ugly as hell I’ve also had more fun than I’ve ever had. Happenings all the time. Wikileaks, Guccifer, Guccifer 2.0, Private recordings, strange alliances. Thoroughly entertaining.
