It’s pretty surprising every time CNN admits any weakness in the Clinton campaign or any positives in Trump’s, but here they are clearly acknowledging the foregone conclusion: Trump has Ohio in the bag, and there is no evidence that the state is an outlier.
While different experts are in disagreement about the fate of swing states, there is strong evidence that a number of states will stick with their traditional party affiliates. Most agree that roughly 180 electoral votes will stay with the Democrats while 163 will stay with Republicans.
That leaves 137 very important votes up for grabs. If Clinton is already abandoning Ohio, it indicates just how troubled her campaign really is. Stout supporters and biased media will try to say Ohio doesn’t matter, but, like many elections before, Ohio is one of five states that just may be the tie breakers in this election.
With Ohio in the bag, Trump can refocus his efforts on those still undecided regions and secure a presidency, saving the country from another four years of stagnation, corruption and general American decay. Hillary’s campaign managers are already seeing the inevitable truth. She will not be the next president.
