NYT Declares Ohio No Longer ‘Bellwether' - Pope Francis secret Mennonite

2016-09-30

[Breitbart] The New York Times, the so-called "paper of record," has declared that the all-important swing state of Ohio is no longer an important battleground in the presidential election -- now that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is winning it.

Trump pulled ahead of Clinton in the Buckeye State in the RealClearPolitics poll average on Sep. 13, and has never looked back. The latest average, as of Sep. 24 -- prior to the first presidential debate on Sep. 26 -- has Trump ahead of Clinton by 2%.

Earlier in September, the Times was declaring Ohio "an essential swing state," where Governor John Kasich threatened to destroy Trump’s presidential hopes by withholding his endorsement and denying Trump his turnout operation. The Times added: "No candidate since 1960 has made it to the White House without winning Ohio. And while Mrs. Clinton could afford to lose there given her advantage in other battlegrounds like Virginia and Colorado, Ohio is a must-win for Mr. Trump."

#10 The media eroding its own credibility, one transparently dumb statement at a time.

I didn't know they had any credibility left to erode.

#8 So Ohio was a bellweather when it looked like Hillary was going to get Ohio, but now that Trump seems likely to take Ohio it is not?

A cynical person might deduce that the Times is a tad biased.

#7 ...I am hearing from friends and family back home that OH may be going more and more strongly for Trump every day, and this article seems to back it up. TRANSLATION: "The hell with the public polls, the INTERNALS are a freaking disaster for Malificent. Let's have the Times say it doesn't matter any more and see if we can pull it out somewhere else."

#6 Someone should come up with a list of Republicans that are worth a damned. As JohnQC said, they haven't listened much. And revelations that the Saudi's had folks involved in Sept 11 and the George W. Bush team knew and did nothing but fly them out of the country (none even resigned quietly over the choice) leads very few I could be proud of right now.

Perhaps Trey Gowdy and Darryl Isa although they do both seem to take a long, long, time during these hearings.

#3 The voters gave the Pubs the House in 2010 and then the Senate in 2014 in an effort to block the Dems and the Obama administration. The voters seem to be turning the volume up even more in 2016 as it seems the Pubs haven't been listening much.
