sides of the coin with both trump and Kasich, and put most of his emphasis on his public service in Ohio

Using what happened in 2016 I don't think is a good comparison. 2016 was completely distorted because of what Comey did, and other factors. I do agree with your basic assessment that Ohio is getting more red, and that is demonstrated by this midterm election.

I would hope that Sherrod Brown would NOT run for President in 2020. We need him in the Senate, and we have a real chance to recapture the Senate in 2020. It would not be good having to defend Brown's seat if he wanted to run for President I don't believe

For sure. I'm certainly hoping Trump is forced to resign, as that will divide the GOP base. Garrett78 Nov 2018 #6

Yeah, Florida is diverse enough that we can't give up on it. And it has nearly 30 electoral votes. Garrett78 Nov 2018 #10

Agree. AZ, GA, NC, TX radius777 Nov 2018 #31

Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin did not trend away Awsi Dooger Nov 2018 #3

Agree, every Dem politician running for President needs to focus on all of those states Quixote1818 Nov 2018 #8

Those states are not blue enough to be taken for granted Awsi Dooger Nov 2018 #12
