Hillary Clinton Room-Which red states can Hillary win?

[hrmjustin]

POSTED IN THE HILLARY CLINTON ROOM.

I think she can win MO, GA, NC, IN, MT, and AZ.

1. I'm going to work my a$$ off to get ...

every single working class person, Black, white, Hispanic, LGBT, and every other member of the Democratic tradition base, living in Arizona out to cast a vote.

If Arizona is anywhere near in play ... then, LET'S PLAY!

[hrmjustin]

2. Oh I think AZ is in play.

That would be great if she could win it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

6. I've been watching the AZ numbers ...

and am encouraged.

[hrmjustin]

8. That's good news.

[shenmue]

3. Me too

[hrmjustin]

4. I think she will get over 350 electoral votes.

[Iliyah]

5. I'll say Texas, Florida

If she wins Texas, the p a r t y is o v e r

[hrmjustin]

7. Agreed!

[Thinkingabout]

10. Hopefully we can get all groups out in Texas. I work in one of the precinct and have noticed

Larger amounts of 20-50 year old black females out voting, quiet exciting. Even though we are not allowed to talk about the candidates I was surprised at the groups of middle eastern and oriental groups voting and sounds like Democratic talk. We know we have the numbers on out side, they just have to get out and vote. I would love to see Texas turn blue. BTW, I am in Harris county and Harris county has been going blue the last few elections.

[Gothmog]

23. We are starting a Hillary Clinton grassroots organization in my county

11. In the '08 primary, Hispanics were primarily voting for Hillary.

So IF they will get out and vote, she has a good chance in Texas. However, they couldn't put an Hispanic woman in the governor's office - didn't vote; very discouraging.

[Thinkingabout]

27. Yes I know, we have to get the votes, will not work with 33% voting.

[OKNancy]

9. Obama got Indiana and North Carolina in 08

So I will pick those.
I'll add Arizona.
Maybe Nevada

--
Your choices look good though

[EileenFB]

12. I do believe she will take

Ohio and Kentucky

[hrmjustin]

13. I hope so.

[Cassidy1]

26. I would say Ohio but not KY

[okasha]

14. Texas.

Which stops the Republicans cold

[hrmjustin]

15. Hope so.

[okasha]

16. She isn't liked here--

she's loved. Castro on the ticket could add some Panhandle counties with growing minority populations.

And I suspect that more than a few Republican women would vote for her and tell their husbands they went with the clown car. Not all women who are worried about reproductive rights are Dems.

[hrmjustin]

17. I think she will do great with gop women.

[Gothmog]

21. Here is a 2013 poll that shows that HRC could win in Texas

[hrmjustin]

22. I hope it holds.

[Gothmog]

24. If Clinton names Julian Castro to the ticket, she will be competitive

[hrmjustin]

25. I like him and heard they are preparing him for it.

[OKNancy]

18. Castro is sure being talked up

Can you imagine how exciting that would be... the two of them?

[okasha]

19. I think it's a done deal.

It would be poor judgement to raise expectations like that and not carry through.

[Gothmog]

20. the Texas democratic party printed these up

I have a couple and can get some more

[Cassidy1]

28. She can win

MO, NC, MT, but probably not GA or IN. Arizona is a toss-up. Recent blue states are New Mexico, Nevada, Montana, Colorado, North Carolina, and Virginia. Some of that is due to Hispanic population.

Missouri is sometimes a toss-up. Used to be that you always had to win Ohio to win it, but not sure if that is still true.

[hrmjustin]

29. Welcome to the HRC room and DU.

Well i definitely think she has the potential to win these states.

[Cassidy1]

30. Yes, I think she has the potential

She is a strong candidate. It's still a long ways off.

Thanks for the welcome.

[Cassidy1]

31. BTW,

what do you think of Biden? Not a fan here, but hard to see them overlooking the sitting VP. They need to keep the appearance of unity and they can't just snub him. I think he's a career politician that is shrewd, but he is there. I hate that smile of his too. lol

[hrmjustin]

32. He is not going to run.

Great man but he won't run against his friend Hillary.

[Cassidy1]

33. I had not heard that.

Really? I think he wants to be president more than anything.

[hrmjustin]

34. This is just my opinion.

[Cassidy1]

35. Oh okay

I hope you're right. He just seems bland. Hilary sparks an excitement. You get excited but then politics gets in the way. I'm sure some people will want her to play the good soldier. Same thing happened with Ted Kennedy in 79. He was far ahead of Carter in the polls, but of course, they were not going to unseat Carter. This, of course, is different because Biden is not the sitting president like Carter. Either way, she provokes an enthusiasm that is missing with Biden.

[Jamastiene]

36. In a primary, she might can win NC, but

in a general election, there is no chance at all. The Republican will take NC. NC will not vote for a female president, and especially not Hillary Clinton. The hatred for her here in NC is palpable.

[hrmjustin]

38. recently saw polling that she did well there.

[Jamastiene]

40. Among Democrats only, yes.

But, in a general election, the Republicans and conservative Democrats would turn out in droves. There is nothing they hate worse than the thought of a woman in charge. Unfortunately, there are way too many Republicans and conservative Democrats (Dixiecrats) in NC. I hope you are right, but my gut tells me you are wrong.

[hrmjustin]

41. Well i think she will do good across the board.

We shall just have to work hard.

[RandySF]

37. There might be a path to victory in KY.

If voters there ever realize that repealing Obamacare means repealing Kentucky Care, they might pull the switch for Hillary.

[hrmjustin]

39. We can hope.
