Reserving this post for later

Not convinced Harris can win. Middle America is key and the southeast. She being Cali, not sure she has appeal in key states like Georgia. She also has been blamed for the border which is a prime issue for many Americans.

But fingers crossed MAGA loses and goes away.

And I think Peter B is a great pic for running mate.  He is from Indiana and is ex-military.

Middle America are the rural states like Montana and the Dakotas?

I do want to make a note here:

- Be kind

- Focus on facts. 

- No personal attacks

- Big claims need sources. If you're just here to flamebait nonsense, you will get kicked out.

- Feel free to make suggestions to improve this thread. To some extent, I think it'll be a work in progress until the next president is sworn in.

I'm think there are a few key states.  Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania.  

I suspect Ohio and Florida are not on the table to flip.

Then say rust belt.

Key states are unsurprisingly those that have a recent history of being up for grabs, because the majority of states are pretty much locked down for one of the two parties.

If the democrats can take the rust belt (minus Ohio) plus Georgia and Arizona... wouldn't that be sufficient already?

Harris may not win, but Biden wasn't going to win. We could see his cognitive decline in real time, on top of the issues that were turning off voters like his support for Israel and the issue of the border that you mentioned (which somehow seems to be the biggest non-economic problem today).

Trump might be a crusty old bastard himself, but he at least doesn't look and sound like he could die at any moment from natural causes smack dab in the middle of a speech on stage.

I'll say whatever I want.  Middle America typically refers to states between the east and west coast.  

Edit

It also refers to middle class, which is a key demographic, so my terms works on multiple levels.

Rust belt is mostly Ohio and small sections of others states.  Rust also includes WV, Kentucky and Indiana which she isn't going to win.  

Thanks!
