Is Ohio Gone for Democrats Now?

[ElectionsGuy]

Yes, it's been gone for 4 years. This first should've been entertained in 2016, when it voted a whopping 10 points right of the nation. Then in 2018, further confirmation when it voted in a Republican governor in a blue wave year and Republicans won the statewide House vote by 5 points. At this point, to think it's worth contesting in a competitive national election is delusional, but I think it's so difficult for them because so many Democrats, beltway pundits, and pollsters legitimately cannot discern if an election is competitive or not.
