Is WI solid D in 2016?

[Ebsy]

Wisconsin, like Michigan and Minnesota, will not be in doubt for Democrats come election day.

Polls so far suggest a great year for Democrats in Wisconsin -- anomalously good for the region.

Republicans are in deep trouble in Wisconsin, which for now looks like the Massachusetts of the Midwest. How much so? In an R blowout in the Presidential election, Wisconsin could be one of  two states not on one of the oceans to go for the Republican nominee.

Unless Hillary Clinton wins Carter-style victories in the South (of course, highly unlikely), Wisconsin will be nowhere near being a tipping-point state. 

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Hillary was trailing Marco Rubio by one point in the last MULaw and your saying its 'solid D'.

Because WI is stubbornly D-leaning and polls a year out should be ignored.

I think Walker's unpopularity will play to the Dem's benefit in 2016.

I don't think I'd quite say "solid D" though.

[Sumner 1868]

It's safe D for sure, but I wouldn't say "solid." It won't be a landslide.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Its a six point advantage state, like MN, eventhough polls show MN a closer race. Dems have more time to spend money in CO and Iowa.

Anyone voting yes is just doing so as a reactionary response to people on this board speculating that it ever might vote Republican because that speculation p*sses them off.  Jesus Christ, it is CLEARLY not "Solid D."  A Democrat will LIKELY win it in 2016, but it's not crazy to assume a Republican could ... so I guess I'll say it's LIKELY D.  Let's say I get my wish and Christie is the nominee vs. Clinton, I see this as the map:

Solid D: >70% Red
Likely D: >50% Red
Lean D: >30% Red
Tossup: Gray
Lean R: >30% Blue
Likely R: >50% Blue
Solid R: >70% Blue

Yeah, not good for the 'Pubs.  And this isn't even taking into account the conventional wisdom that NH will vote to the left of Vermont.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Its probably going to be a 272-266 map going Clinton's way.

[President Johnson]

I say the chance is at least 75%. So safe blue.

That's how I qualify a statement. I don't see Hillary Clinton winning any state that Barack Obama  did not win in 2008 except perhaps Arizona.

It leans D, just like PA or NV.
