Iowa, Florida and Nevada. Ohio can be given to Trump. And Iowa and NV probably, so mostly Florida is going to be decisive

Also, Colorado could be more interesting than some polls suggest

Indeed. I think your analysis is right about on the money. If Trump has Ohio mostly locked up, as you seem to imply, then Hillary is in serious trouble. Ohio and Florida for Trump puts him in a good spot. If he also takes North Carolina

A state to look at, though, is Michigan. HUGE numbers of blue collar whites in Wayne and Macomb counties. Oakland County is very wealthy and very conservative.

The realclearpolitics polls are dated almost all before 9/11/16, which is when the health issue blew open. Hillary was about 5 points ahead, across the board, solidly in the lead. But, we may see the next batch of polls, for the second half of September, change that tune, given Hillary's troubles.

Another one to look for is Pennsylvania. Hillary has that pretty well locked up, but most of the realclear politics data is before 9/11/16. So, there may be a closing of the gap.

I don't know about that - you make him sound like an oldskool Eastern European Socialist! Trump is of that 'gentrified' class, the corporate arena is his domain, his feeding ground, it's his personal milieu if you will. I can't see him shitting on his own doorstep. If elected I think it's far more likely that he will look to deregulate the corporate sector and to find new and interesting way to convert tax revenues into private profits.

I dont think even Trump knows what he is. Politically he is so naive.

We can't find out without the deleted emails....convenient for Hillary. LOL.

Do you hold Trump to that same standard? The only dishonesty and unethical conduct that bothers you is that which ought to land him in an orange jumpsuit?

Trump is completely corrupt. Just smarter than Dennis Koslowsky and with better lawyers. Polo shirt and and ankle bracelet for him. Sentence him to be confined to one of his golf courses for a year.

Interesting. How so? Can you provide links to something specific that you believe counts as "corruption?"
