You will all be wrong.

None of today's 2016 posts will be right. It's four fucking years (nearly).

Why do DUers insist on making perpetual presidential elections? That's what the Republicans do. Do you not understand that to be in perpetual presidential campaign mode is to play into the hands of the party which is always in campaign mode.

You know them. They're the party which met on the night of President Obama's first inauguration to plot a strategy to oppose every fucking thing he proposed, even when it was former Republican policy to support the position.

Just putting this out for consideration.

ground game will probably pick up most of those. I would still expect Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania to remain swing states. As of right now I only see 4 possible red states that could sing (Indiana, North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia) with North Carolina being the best bet.

Nobody knows what the political climate will be like three years from now. As always, we need to gear up for one hell of a fight. The Democrats need to pull their financial resources together and get the plan together for the ground game.
