If Obama couldn't win here in 2008 with that economic mess and being the 1st AA president how in the hell someone like Hillary Clinton is going to win here?
Sorry, forget get Trump and his nonsense but the very ideal of taking away AR 15s will be enough to get white men to the polls here in droves.
The whole reason Georgia is even on its way to being a battleground is because of demographic changes and population movement
(particularly minorities and young professionals moving to GA), so while it wouldn't have been viable in 2008, 8 years of further demographic changes has made it more competitive. You cannot rightfully assume that Georgia's electorate in 2016 will be the same as it was in 2008, because it most definitely will not.
That being said, I still think GA is a stretch this year, barring a major win by Clinton.
