If there is one swing state where Trump could make something happen, it is Iowa. Its Democratic lean is powered by former Republican leaning voters in the Eastern portion of the state. Working class white voters who are more secular and anti-war than their counterparts in Western Iowa. They normally defaulted Republican down ballot until 2006 when Iraq destroyed the GOP amongst such voters. However, those voters have twice shifted heavily Republican when social issues were on the backburner and economy related issues were weighing on the Democrats. If Trump can flip some of those voters, the state will trend heavily towards the Republicans in 2016.
