Clinton Builds Unlikely Firewall

New York Times: “Now, even as Hillary Clinton contends with inflamed Democratic anxiety over renewed scrutiny of her private email server, these once-red areas — a string of states that voted twice for George W. Bush — are providing an unexpected firewall for her campaign.”

“Democrats are already strongly confident of victory in three of them — Colorado, Nevada and Virginia — and believe that a fourth, North Carolina, is likely to break their way as well. Added to the party’s daunting advantage in the Electoral College, these states have impeded Mr. Trump’s path to amassing the 270 electoral votes needed to win, limiting his ability to exploit Mrs. Clinton’s late vulnerabilities and forcing him to scrounge for unlikely support in solidly Democratic places like Michigan and New Mexico.”

Meanwhile the drumph runs amok with his ever expanding series of lies.

It is incredible that almost the entire MSM cannot keep tabs on his BS. That would not require any hunting.

they never re-opened the witch hunt. It was never closed.

all they need are a few more bundles of wood and someone to burn.

We've voted for Obama twice
Elected a Dem as 3 out of the last 4 Governors
Won the last 4 Senate races
But yet 9 of our 11 House members are Republican
