I see a red state and I want to paint it...purple?
According to 538.com’s 2016 presidential election forecast, the 5 most competitive battleground states in the 2016 presidential cycle are currently: Arizona, Missouri, North Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina.
Note that what this means is that the usual battleground states — Florida, Ohio, Virginia, New Hampshire, Colorado, Nevada — are all LESS competitive in 2016 than the states listed above. Those traditional battleground states are all LESS competitive than South Carolina right now. The “usual” battleground states are all less competitive than South Carolina because Clinton is winning them all by so much.
Wow.
To repeat, and I encourage you to let it sink in: Wow.
