Democrats build huge early vote lead in battleground Nevada

[$tevie]

If Trump loses Nevada, Silver says he wins in only 9 percent of scenarios.

Democrats have built what could be an insurmountable edge in Nevada at the end of early voting in the Western battleground state.
In key regions, the party is matching or outpacing the lead President Barack Obama had at this point in 2012 on his way to a nearly 7-percentage-point win of the state's six electoral votes.

It's no surprise Democrats are ahead there, but the gap is more than double what Republicans say they need it to be.

I love the irony of hispanics being the start of Trump's downfall.

Looking at this EV map, it's amazing what Nevada does.

Lose Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Arizona? Doesn't matter, HRC still wins.

That is happy news.

While I adore many people from Ohio and Florida, I want to see those states end their reigns as the "must win" states for presidential candidates. It would almost be worth seeing Hillary lose both of those and still win big, just to make that shift.

I'd love to see more southern and mountain west states become competitive too, that would force the GOP to move away from some of their more extreme social positions.

National polls are starting to show a bounce back up for HRC.

Timing and turnout seem to favor HRC to win.

Just as importantly that bodes well for Democrat Senate candidate Catherine Cortez Masto.
