Before we know the national climate, will Ohio be viewed as a true battleground or more like how Georgia and Arizona were viewed in early 2016 (potentially competitive in a Democratic landslide, but likely to go Republican)?

Trump won the state by an 8 point margin and the state has trended 6.1 points R since 2000.

It will be lean R unless Trump is really unpopular.

Democrats path to to winning the WH again is through Pennsylvania and reassuring the blue wall, Dems can't win without it and it will go blue along with WI and MI along with NV and CO in 2018.

Defeating Ernst and Gardner are top priorities to winning the Presidency and the Senate in 2020.

If the race is a very large Democratic victory, then Ohio may still be winnable. If it is close, then probably not.

Early 2020? A Republican-leaning battleground, but a battleground nonetheless.

Late 2020? Depends on what the polls are saying.

Comparative to NC and NV this time around: Tilt one way, but closer to Lean than Tossup.

If the Rust Belt does not recover economically, expect a 10-point win for the Democratic nominee.

I don't think it will be an actual battleground but the media may think it is.

People really need to stop overreacting to this one election.

Ohio was always a close state & will continue to be. It is worth nothing that AZ & GA were closed than OH this cycle & that with a very unpopular Clinton.

So possibly OH would be lean R as we start but a lot depends on a Trump presidency. If he doesn't perform well, there would be a tremendous backlash.

Depends on how Trump performs. If the economy tanks again (which is more likely than many think) then definitely.

If however, Trump's able to maintain everything half-decently, it'll go to him. In my view, it depends on if Sherrod Brown's re-elected and if he's on the ticket as either the Presidential or VP nominee.
