Minnesota voted Rubio in the primary with Trump a pretty distant third.
But suddenly, Trump is going to take Minnesota?
Republican candidate Donald Trump has won the first round of Minnesota’s mock election for high school students, narrowly beating out Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
Secretary of State Steve Simon announced Tuesday the results of the Minnesota Students Vote 2016, which showed the flamboyant businessman taking 34.97 percent of the vote. Clinton was close behind, with 32.89 percent.

Must Win States: Ohio, NC, Florida
-He must get these three. Big swing states, looking good in Florida and Ohio. NC will be close but I think he gets it.
259-246 Trump
Now he has some ways to get to 270.
1. Either flip Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Virginia then he wins the election, other states don't matter if he achieves this.
2. Nevada (he's leading here currently), New Hampshire (trailing), and Maine's 2nd District gets him to 270.
3. Nevada and Colorado. He's trailing in Colorado, but moving closer. This may be his most realistic way of clinching.
4. Colorado and either New Hampshire or MaineCD2
If he locks up those three key states, he's in a decent spot.
I tend to agree. Unless there is a surprise in store for WI, MI, PA, VA, or NM, it seems like it is coming down to flipping Gary Johnson voters in Colorado. Trump should come out for legalizing pot on Friday. That ought to push him over the top there.

trump's for states' rights ...
420 FRIENDLY
I have thought the same thing. I would be willing to bet personally he does not give a darn about keeping weed illegal.

I agree, but coming out for taking pot of the federal books would make a statement and would be consistent.

WikiLeaks released transcripts of Hillary Clinton’s private speeches to wealthy Wall Street bankers. In one of the speeches, she declared there is no plan to legalize it ‘in every sense of the word.’

Again, I don't usually resend info on polls, but the WRAL poll (according to HotAir's writing) has Trump up by 7 in NC.
Quote:I showed you a map over the weekend in which Trump won Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina and stood at “only” 243 electoral votes; throw Arizona, Nevada, and Iowa on top of that and you can get him to 266. But if Hillary takes Colorado, she still wins the election. The fourth card Trump’s still looking for is a shift in Colorado or some blue-tilting state like Wisconsin or New Hampshire that’s supposed to be in the bag for Clinton. The trendlines over the past 72 hours are encouraging; we may yet get a poll this week showing that a bluish state is now purplish. (Er, in fact, that’s what this SurveyUSA poll of North Carolina is.) But that’s what you’re looking for before the upset bells really start ringing.

I'm aware of that. But I believe that +7 could be an outlier.

Based on oldnorthpolitics it seems it may be closer than the others

You think he really has a 7 point lead?
Well Romney won by 2 and Trump is getting better early voting than Romney. I'll be safe and say 4 to 5

I don't know WTP.. again, I don't harp on any polls as being the truth
But, I thought you should see the one that HotAir wrote about, where Suffolk and AP polling units added a new question:
“Who do you think the media, including major newspapers and TV stations, would like to see elected president: Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump?”
Quote:Of the 1,000 adults surveyed, 75.9 percent answered Clinton, while just 7.9 percent picked Trump, the Republican nominee. Just more than 16 percent of respondents chose either “neither” or “undecided.”
por:
When asked whether the media actively coordinated with the campaigns for its coverage,
Quote:only 47.8% said no. Another 38.8% believe that the media does coordinate with the campaigns, and another 12.6% could not be sure.
So you could argue that 1/3rd of America thinks the media is in the tank, with no ifs and or buts.

@realDonaldTrump in Tampa #FL: "we are doing well in so-called Democratic strongholds. We are going to Minnesota" (&CO MI WI PA NH NV)
-- @kellyannepolls (Trump campaign mgr)
President Barack Obama went into the final stretch of the 2016 campaign warning that Donald Trump is within range of winning, urging voters — particularly black voters, whose turnout is lagging — to see the Republican nominee as running an un-American, inhumane, racist campaign that must be stopped.
