Trying to win the LADT election is the same mistake military strategists make when they plan for the last war.
The GOP is gonna have to spend in the South because it’s no longer safe territory.
Isn't that the same mistake Hillary made?
She was trying to expand the map and win AZ and such and forgot to lock down the midwest base she needed to win, which was Trump's only path to victory. Dems gotta win VA, PA, MICH. Then target WI and NC. After that the trickier OH and FLA. AZ, GA and TX are not essential if the Dems take care of where they should win.
Dems gotta win VA, PA, MICH,
and Wi, Bo! It was losing the latter three, while winning VA, that did them in. Nothing else is required
for the presidency, if they keep the rest of their states. VA, CO, and NM are considered likely, so I would not have VA in the same category as PA, MI, and WI. Yes, it needs to be won, but no more than CO or NM, except for its EVs.
Ohio is further down the list than NC, FL, or AZ, but in the same group with GA and IA (and the snippet of ME). TX is in its own category, a further reach than any of the others named, but not as far as the dead solid GOPs. TX is red the way VA and NM are blue.
