Shock poll: Hillary Clinton and the Don are in a dead heat -- in Georgia.

This actually isn't so surprising to people who've been paying attention to Georgia's demographics. Because of its increasing number of minority voters, it's on the way to becoming a swing state.

A new Landmark/RosettaStone poll has found that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are in a statistical tie in Georgia, a state that has been a Republican stronghold in presidential elections for decades.

The poll, first reported by WSB-TV, shows that Trump, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee, has a slight edge over Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, leading 42.3 to 41.4 percent, while 15.6 percent are undecided.

Strange ... Fetterman seems to be a nature fit for Sanders' support and because of his current position (a popular Mayor of a largely Black community outside Pittsburgh) would seem to have been a far better surrogate/ambassador to the African-American community than Killer Mike/Dr. West.

Go figure.
