Who would win Ohio?

[Coldstream]

Come on.  Romney lost big in Massachusetts in 2012.  Al Gore couldn't even win his home state in 2000 when the country was far less polarized.  Trump would obviously win Ohio.  It's delusional to think otherwise.

Brown won Ohio 3 months ago. Romney hadn’t won Massachusetts for 10 years, Gore also hadn’t won in Tennessee for 10 years. Perhaps Trump would win Ohio against Brown, but it’s hardly “delusional” to think otherwise.

Is it really necessary to explain the difference between running as an incumbent Senator and running as the national Democratic party's candidate for president?

You’re assuming he’d 1. campaign differently and 2. People in Ohio would care and not simply vote for the guy they know best. Trump didn’t win Ohio by such a huge margin, and is not so popular that he’s safe there. I’m not even saying you’re wrong, and in fact I think Trump probably would win, just that it’s ridiculous to act like it’s a sure thing either way.
