Well, lots of people--including myself--underestimated trends.  Fortunately, I was not among those who believed Iowa would vote to the left of Texas in 2020.

Wait, really?

When did you predict Iowa would vote to the right of TX?

PA with Hillary, probably VA without.

Long term easily Virginia but for 2016 Hillary or another white Dem might be a better fit for PA than Obama.

Working class Democrats - which there still seem to be a lot of in Pennsylvania - seem to be in love with Hillary in that state. So with Hillary on the ticket, my prediction is that she will do better in Pennsylvania than in Virginia.

Probably Pennsylvania, especially is Hillary is the nominee.


Interesting how many people felt Clinton was a good fit for PA...

I think it's probably because in the 2008 primary, Clinton won a lot of the more working class white areas against Obama in the primary.  It's weird how things change.  A lot of those same people fled to Trump and would have voted for Trump no matter who the Dem nominee was.
