Just because it hasn't swung does not mean it lacks the ability to do so in the right conditions. -- nm* - znufrii, dad. Oct 12, 10:43 1
- States can definitely swing. Actually see above for a comment I just made about consistency in states/flipping and what it's doing for the GOP. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:45
It's a blue state who elected Scott Walker 3 times. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:34 4
- Yes, but I mean on a national level. The last time they GOP for president was 32 years ago. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:36 3
  - The day before tape came out, the poll found Trump 41 / Clinton 40 -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:40 1
    - I understand the poll, I'm just stating I have a lot of faith that it wouldn't end up that way. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:45
  - I agree with you, I personally think of it as more of a blue state than a purple state. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 12, 10:39
Midwest/upper midwest states like OH/MI/WI are (were?) potentially swingier this cycle with the demographic shifts among whites -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:33 3
- OH and MI I get, just not WI. -- nm - MDH Oct 12, 10:34
- (also I think MU *always* polls WI because they are in WI) -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:34 1
  - look at the Thursday numbers in WI in the daily breakdown -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 10:36
