Unless the economy gets hit, I can't see Trump picking up any of those.

Romney is an unlikable tool who was the conservative in '08, a 'severely conservative' RINO in the '12 primaries, and literally stood for nothing in the GE. Additionally, Trump is not a gaffe machine. He knows the effects of everything he does when he does it. Romney wasn't coming out in support of government-run health care and such. He was an out-of-touch elitist who didn't care about the working man. Trump has the opposite base.

Hah. You give him too much credit. He has made plenty of gaffes, but he has gaffe-armor as thick as a tank. You shouldn't confuse his supporters not caring one bit with him having a flawless, expert strategy (though, in my opinion, his strategy has been expert for a primary election, but he has made plenty of mistakes and gaffes in executing said strategy)

He'll try to weasle to the center and then claim he did it to show how bad other candidates could have been and then make an excuse for why he actually is a moderate/liberal

I'm skeptical that general election voters will be as receptive to his flip-floppery as the Republican base, but anything can happen.

Exactly, it doesn't work. The Democrats can get away with it not Pubs

Well, I'm pretty confident he's going to lose the general election anyway. The same strategy he crafted to win the primary also set him up to fail hard in the general election. So it doesn't matter if he flip-flops - People aren't going to forget his many, many months of bs. At this point, he might as well stick to his guns and go out with his fans still worshiping him (I would have said go out with some dignity, but his shameless campaign has pretty much stripped away any he had long ago)

OH is Trumps best chance, its similar to Iowa. But, if Dems dont win OH, they can focus on SW.

Trump's not winning MI, WI, or PA, against Hillary at least. In OH maybe he has a slim chance.
