Part of the reason Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016 was because he carried Ohio.

Now, it appears he has a great chance of winning the state once again – already.

Here’s why…

From Daily Wire:

A prominent Democratic PAC, Priorities USA, says it’s removing Ohio — a key swing state — from its list of priorities in 2020, signaling that they do not believe Democrats can return the swing state to the “blue” column.

Cleveland.com revealed Wednesday that Priorities, which raised and spent a whopping $190 million for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and around $75 million for Barack Obama in 2012, is scaling back operations in the state, after determining that Ohio “targetability” eroded in the 2016 election.

Priorities USA now lists Ohio, which was once key to Democratic presidential victories, as a “GOP Watch” state akin to Texas. “That’s below other more traditional swing states like Florida, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, but also historically red states like Arizona and Georgia,” local media reports.

Democrats are extremely scared that President Trump will be re-elected in 2020.

It is probably because the left doesn’t have a solid candidate, or at least not one strong enough to take down the MAGA agenda.

Now, in liberal New Jersey, Democrats have passed a bill to keep Trump off the 2020 ballot unless he releases his tax returns.

The New Jersey state Senate on Thursday overwhelmingly voted to pass a bill that would keep presidential candidates off the state’s 2020 ballot unless they release their tax returns.

According to the Courier Post, the Democratic-controlled state Senate passed the measure along party lines in a 23-11 vote on Thursday, sending the bill to the Assembly committee and full legislature for a vote before it heads to the desk of Gov. Phil Murphy (D) for consideration.

The controversial measure would deny candidates for president and vice president a spot on the state ballot if they do not publicly release five of their most recent tax returns at least 50 days before the general election in 2020.

While attacking former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, who may run as an Independent for president in 2020, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wound up with egg all over her face.

See her tweet:

Why don’t people ever tell billionaires who want to run for President that they need to “work their way up” or that “maybe they should start with city council first”? https://t.co/3d8Nenrvl5

— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 30, 2019

Pretty rude, right?

The problem is that Ocasio-Cortez clearly has no clue about Howard’s background.

Reactions:

Because running a massive company that employs hundreds of thousands of people is more of a record than pouring drinks for people. https://t.co/qOOU5x4BMs

Schultz grew up in the projects, was the first of his family to go to college, and turned a tiny coffeeshop into a multi-billion dollar company. How much more should he “work his way up?” https://t.co/JfqAfwxgXK

Seems like an odd criticism from someone whose first elective office is the US Congress. https://t.co/DfaFZAMcx5

Building a $83 billion global company from basically nothing is … something? https://t.co/s4VmeBNt86

Schultz isn’t exactly a conservative, but he has been ripping AOC and Senator Elizabeth Warren like he’s getting paid to do it.

This is how some Dems reacted after learning Schultz might run in 2020:

Howard Schultz? That’s gonna be a venti Fuck No for me

— Brett Hamil (@BrettHamil) January 27, 2019

The best thing that Howard Schultz can do for the country is invest in education, voting rights, civil rights, and climate advocacy. There is zero appetite for this, and there is an urgent need for the Democratic candidate to win in 2020.

Hey @HowardSchultz, please think long and hard before you do this. Think about the country https://t.co/uB4bCjApYs

Dear Howard Schultz,
Love that you want to help the country. Running for president won’t do that. It will hurt it. Donate your money. Campaign for the Democratic candidate. Don’t be Jill Stein. Don’t help re-elect Trump.
Thank you,
America

.@HowardSchultz running for POTUS as an independent would put the froth on @realDonaldTrump ‘s Cinnamon Dolce Latte, splitting the opposition and making Trump’s low ceiling potentially high enough.https://t.co/O6HsJAL8sP

I’m sure there’s no connection between Howard Schultz floating a Presidential run right around the time of the release of his book

— Dan Pfeiffer (@danpfeiffer) January 26, 2019

Vanity projects that help destroy democracy are disgusting. If he enters the race, I will start a Starbucks boycott because I’m not giving a penny that will end up in the election coffers of a guy who will help Trump win. https://t.co/epUYVrcEg8

Still uncertain of who to support as @TheDemocrats nominee for President, but I am 100 PERCENT CERTAIN of two things:

1. I’ll NEVER support vanity, ‘independent’ spoiler candidacies like those of @HowardSchultz or Russian stooges like @DrJillStein

2. I’m forever #NeverBernie
