Should be interesting. If Trump wins VA then we're in for a very late night I suspect. arlington 75% for hrc breh, higher within the pentagon itself. but the rank and file is another matter | ||

Yeah, the cities votes so naturally he's going to start making up ground. It's looking good for him. If he wins Florida, NC, and Ohio... From what it looks like he has a very good shot at doing. He only needs to take one state from Hillary's firewall to win. | ||

And lol, I guess it's easy to say, but to me, it doesn't look like Hillary has been winning the tough ones. It'll be a close one. | ||

Trump needs to win florida or ohio before planning to beat hillary. VA is a southern state that should be an afterthought. | ||
