Of the three, NH is probably the closest to being a "swing state", but it's really not.

I agree with the last part of your sentence, but how is NH more of a swing state than VA and especially WI? I mean, come on.... WI can be won by the right Republican candidate, it's more elastic than people here seem to think.

No. Wisconsin is a safe D state. The GOP has a much higher chance of winning NH and VA than WI.

If it's Trump vs Hillary, all three of these states are safe D. The only GOP candidate (this including the candidates who've dropped out) that could win any of these states is John Kasich.

Tell Mary Burke, Tom Barrett and Russ Feingold how WI is safe D. WI could very well be the tipping point state in a Clinton vs. Kasich race. NH would only be competitive in a Susan Collins (R) vs. Zell Miller (D) race.

Oh, I thought you were talking about in a Trump vs Clinton race. In a Trump vs Clinton race, Wisconsin is certainly safe D. I agree that it would be a tilt D state if someone else were to be nominee (ex: Kasich).

Kasich would certainly certainly win NH before WI though. Kasich is actually a very good fit for NH. NH was one of the closest states in 2012 (unlike Wisconsin, Obama won WI by an incredibly large margin despite the fact that Ryan was from there). Trump would get crushed in NH though.

Kelly Ayotte won by way more than Walker or Johnson did, lol.
