- WildUtah 10y agoTrump won Ohio 51-43. If that swings all the way back into competitive territory, his re-election is doomed anyway. Just because a state is a swing state with a regular Republican (like Ohio or Colorado) doesn't mean it's a swing state when a very abnormal Republican like Trump is running.
- meddlepal 10y agoI'm not sure we'll ever see a "normal" Republican or Democrat again win a presidential election. Trump has paved a path forward for modern campaigns to run off extreme rhetoric and FUD as a means to mobilize their voting base.
- mateo411 10y agoYes, and Obama won Ohio in 2012 by 3 percentage points. He also won it in 2008. However, George W Bush won it in 2004.
