Trump's candidacy has shifted the map of Battleground states due to his unconventional candidacy. His positions on Trade alone have made it possible for a Republican candidate to gain Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Maine's 2nd Congressional District, etc.
As you can see from this map, the Clinton-Kaine ticket is just one state away from losing the U.S. Presidency. Trump on the other hand has to win just one of the unfilled battleground states to reach over 270 electoral votes. Even though Florida, Ohio, North Carolina, Iowa, and Nevada are considered competitive swing states, I think these states are already leaning in Trump's favor. There are now states that have been considered favorable to the Democrats but have now become "Toss-Ups". Here are the following states Trump should heavily campaign in:
1. New Hampshire: NH has voted Democrat before in presidential elections but is now one of Crooked Hillary's firewall states. Trump has either been leading or tied in many less than accurate polls. Drug addiction and Obamacare have become this state's major issues that Donald Trump has addressed and has solutions for. Closing the border to block off Drug Trafficking and Comprehensive treatment for drug addiction have become major solutions of Trump plus the pledge to repeal & replace Obamacare.
2. Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania is in my opinion the crown jewel of a Trump victory and Democrats are nervous about losing states like Pennsylvania.
In fact, it has been predicted in certain polls that Trump is leading 9+ & 12+ in Pittsburgh and Wilkes-Barre respectively, two regions of Pennsylvania that have usually voted Democrat. In my view, the only region in Pennsylvania where Hillary is seriously winning is the Philadelphia Metropolitan area and even there she'll receive less votes than Barack Obama received in 2012. Pennsylvania relies on Coal Mining and Steel Manufacturing, issues Donald Trump has addressed by opposing NAFTA, EPA regulations, and pledging to bring jobs back.
3.Colorado: Colorado was won by Barack Obama in both 2008 & 2012 but is now seen as a dead-heat. US Senate candidate Darryl Glenn(R) has a chance to unseat incumbent Senator Michael Bennett(D) but most polls have shown Bennett leading but within single digits.
4.Virginia: The reason for Virginia's swing to Democrats has relied on Northern Virginia's D.C. Metro areas.
Fairfax County plus Arlington and Alexandria are populated primarily by Federal Government Workers relying on Big Government regulations to keep them employed. However, Donald Trump has attracted 15-25% of the Black vote, spelling trouble for Democrats. Plus Obama won Virginia by just under 4 points in 2012. Also, much of rural Virginia as well as Blue Collar Workers put Virginia in the 'Tossup" bin. Plus, one poll showed Trump winning Virginia by 3 points. Even Creepy Clown Kaine couldn't help Democrats in Virginia.
5.Michigan: Michigan has not just relied on Manufacturing throughout much of it's history but has been known as America's top Auto Manufacturer. American Auto Corporations such as Ford Motor Corp., General Motors, and Chrysler are headquartered in Michigan. However, manufacturing jobs have left due to NAFTA as well as ending of tariffs on foreign made goods. Trump has spoken out against the loss of jobs due to currency manipulation, product dumping, and no tariffs on foreign made goods. Trump has pledged to bring back manufacturing to Michigan, returning it to the Car Manufacturing State it once was. American cars will vastly outnumber European and Japanese automobiles should trump be president.
Bernie Sanders won Michigan despite trailing Crooked Hillary by 20 points on average in the phony polls.
6.Wisconsin: Wisconsin borders both Michigan and Minnesota. Wisconsin is also home to RNC Chairman Reince Priebus who has been in full unconditional support of Trump-Pence candidacy. Wisconsin's U.S. Senator Ron Johnson is running against his arch nemesis Russ Feingold(D). Please god, don't let Ron Johnson lose to Mr. Rat Face aka Russ Feingold. Trump has strong support in Wisconsin as even the Sheriff of Milwaukee County David Clarke Jr. has endorsed Donald Trump. Milwaukee County is predominantly Democrat and yes, Sheriff Clarke Jr. is Democrat but he supports conservative positions on Crime and the 2nd Amendment. Plus, Wisconsin's strict voter id law ensures one of the lowest chances of voter fraud in the United States. Plus, Obama didn't win a single state with voter id in 2012 and if Hillary is worse, Wisconsin should be labeled leaning Trump.
7. Minnesota: Minnesota's Democrat Governor Mark Dayton has announced Obamacare is NOT affordable. Healthcare premiums will rise over 50-80% in Minnesota. Also, Donald Trump is leading in Early Voting in Minnesota's 8th Congressional District by as much as 12 points. Minnesota's 8th Congressional District has voted Democrat the past several elections and has enjoyed a Democrat-Farmer-Labor hold from 1936 election until Chip Cravaack(R) narrowly defeated 36 year incumbent James Oberstar(D)* in 2010. *Oberstar's average electoral win hovered between 64-69%. However, Cravaack was defeated in 2012 re-election.
If Trump can win a congressional district that has voted mostly Democrat since FDR, then Trump could be the first GOP candidate for president since 1972 to win the state of Minnesota. Plus, Minnesota is also a predominantly blue-collar state like much of the Rust-Belt.
8.New Mexico: Home to the highest concentration of Hispanic/Latinos in the U.S. at 46-48% of New Mexico's populations, Democrats now worry about losing the state of New Mexico. Even though the media tells us Hispanics tend to vote Democrat, Republicans are more likely to gain the Hispanic/Latino vote than they would the African-American vote. New Mexico does after all have a Republican governor(Susana Martinez) and a Republican majority in it's Lower House. I do however believe New Mexico will be within 5-6 points victory should Trump win that state. If not, Crooked Hillary could only win that state by 2-3 points.
9.Oregon: Despite having a Non-Hispanic White demographic above 75%, the last time a Republican won Oregon was when President Ronald Reagan was re-elected in 1984. Plus, the most recent Republican Senator Gordon Smith was unseated by Democrat challenger Jeff Merkely in 2008. Bernie Sanders won the state of Oregon at 55%. Due to the anger expressed by Bernie supporters over Hillary's pro Wall-Street policies as well as having the nomination stolen from Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton faces weakness in states won predominantly by Bernie Sanders in the Democrat primaries such as Oregon, Washington, Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine, Minnesota, Vermont, and Hawaii. Though I wouldn't expect Trump to win Vermont and Hawaii, I do think he has a small but good enough chance to win Oregon and Washington state. Plus, not even Bernie Sanders campaigning for Crooked Hillary could draw the same crowds Bernie drew before endorsing Crooked Hillary.
Polls have even shown Trump within single digits of Crooked Hillary. Turnout alone will cause a massive disadvantage for Democrats this election year.
10. New Jersey: There are even polls showing Donald Trump trailing Hillary by just 4-6 points. Plus, Democrats had 3 more congressional seats from NJ than Republicans did in 2009 but since 2015, it had been even between the two major parties. Note, NJ's 13th congressional district has been abolished as a result of 2010 census, leaving NJ's number of congressional seats at 12. I see New Jersey as being one of the closest should Trump win this state. However should Hillary win NJ it would be much closer than when Barack Obama won this state in 2012.
On the other hand, should the election be based on social media activity, Trump would win 42 states, even states not on the mentioned list such as Washington, New York, Hawaii, and Maine. I don't see any chance of a Hillary victory at this point as even the Democrats have abandoned her and will be focusing on winning Down-Ballot races, fearing turnout could be so low that it could result in upsets favorable for Republicans.
The Lying press has been saying for months that Trump can't possibly win this election. Tom Dewey(R) was supposed to win over 30 states in 1948 but Democrat incumbent Harry Truman won 28 states and 303 electoral votes as well as winning 49.1% of the vote, a 4.5% win over Tom Dewey. Also, Democrats won 75 House seats and 9 Senate seats, ending the one congress Republican majority.
Plus, Trump has the vast potential to win in landslides similar to Ronald Reagan in both 1980 & 1984, Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 & 1956, Herbert Hoover in 1928, Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, and even Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
