I will say that in blue states it becomes very hard for some people not to see beyond what they hear and see every day. SOO many people brainwashed. Can be hard to believe what you cannot see. Especially when there are no Trump rallies or open supporters.
I agree with you though. Anyone who reads Doug Wead's book knows that Brad Parscale developed a proprietary algorithm that predicted 2016 within 2 electoral votes. They KNOW this is going to be a big win.
