Those states may not be ready for Republican Senators yet, but just ready enough for voting for a Republican for president.
Like how Colorado has a Republican Senator, but is pretty Safe Democrat when it comes to the president.

@jpc1976 "Let's Talk Elections" is some 13 year old kid who does an absolutely awful job, I'm not sure why people actually give him any praise
@GavinTheViking but we can win the rust belt, we just don't have the people I guess
Once the conservative Democrats are overtaken by the Progressives with party leadership in the Rust Belt, then conservative Dems will start to flip/continue to flip to Republican
Look at state legislatures in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Look at the guy running in Paul Ryan's District
An Iron Worker endorsed by Bernie
Michigan: Senate 27-10 (R), House 63-46 (R) [Flipped majority R in 2011]
Republican?
Nope Democrat
Paul Ryan's District goes 60%-30% for Republican so its seems pretty safe
The Conservative running is
Eh
Doesn't even have Immigration as an issue on his website
Did Paul Ryan?
Not sure
Paul Ryan was pretty cucky on immigration
Minnesota:
Senate 33-33 (1 Vacancy) [D control until 2011, R control 2011-2012, D control/swingy ever since 2012]
House 77-56 (R) [D from 1992-1998, R from 1999-2006, D from 2007-2010, swing since 2010]
His ad just talked about Wisconsin Values
But the guy running for Senate in Wisconsin doesn't seem to bad
I may look up the four Rust Belt races later on today, get a good overview of them
Yep
Michigan is probably a lost cause
Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania I have a good feeling about eventhough PA seems kinda weak
Nah
Come on
A Black guy winning in a White State?
MI is probably one of our most likely pickups over there imo
Sandy and James are pretty weak in my opinion
The thing about whites is they have less baggage about voting for a blackie than the other way around
But what makes him a strong candidate?
Military record
Supports the wall
Pretty young
Wisconsin:
Senate 18-15 (R) [R from 2003-2006, D from 2007-2010, R from 2011-2013)
House 64-35 (R) [R from 1995-2008, D from 2009-2010, back to R in 2011)
