Good one.  :lol:

It's a fact.

The math seems daunting.  Even if Trump flips key swing states such as Ohio and Florida, he needs to scramble the electoral map in weird ways we have not seen in a while, such as take Rust Belt states like Michigan or Pennsylvania.



No way in hell he can win Florida. Pennsylvania on the other hand I could see falling his way.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

There's enough Jews and Cubans in Southern Florida who won't vote for Trump, but there's enough old white rural folks in Central Pennsylvania who will?

That's somewhat persuasive.

Overheard somebody talking about supporting Trump, "just to see what happens".

So we've gone beyond the concept of reality-TV celebrity politics straight to internet trolling politics. :lol:

I'm thinking the working- and middle-class white Catholic vote that's been slowly draining away from the Dems for years could decisively swing to Trump. That would give him PA.

Funny ad but I don't think Trump should be emphasizing the need to be taken seriously overseas.

They're gonna respect him worldwide.  They're gonna have more respect for him than all previous presidents combined.  You're gonna love how much they respect him.  He's gonna negotiate all sorts of great deals for the US.  Just wait and see.  You're gonna love those deals.
:lmfao:  Well-played.

Utah will probably go blue unless Cruz is the nominee. Trump is deeply unpopular here because of his treatment of Mitt Romney and his attacks on the LDS church.

No way. Utah will go blue right after DC goes red.

I think I know the politics of my own state a little better than you.

It'll be:

If Cruz is nominee: Red
Else: Blue

I thought Mormons are big on not lying. Why would they support the Lying Ted?  :hmm:

Incidentally, have there been any high profile endorsements from LGBT celebrities in this elections season? I know that gays are expected by everybody to be liberal but I don't recall people like NPH or Ellen endorsing anyone. If anything, the only two endorsements I can think of is Caitlyn Jenner endorsing Ted Cruz and Milo Yiannopolous endorsing Donald Trump.  :hmm:

NPH and Ellen endorsed Obama, didn't they?

I think most celebrity endorsements happen in the GE, not the primaries.

Wiki says she was endorsed by Rosie, Chaz, Ellen, Jesse  Tyler Ferguson, Zachary Quinto, Ricky Martin among others.
