The Deep South, which has been a bedrock of Republican support for 20 years in presidential elections, may well be considering a change from GOP red to Democratic blue.

A poll released Friday indicates that Hillary Clinton has a four-point lead on Donald Trump in Georgia.

Meanwhile, according to Real Clear Politics – which tracks polls nationwide, Mississippi is considered as "leaning" toward Trump and not a solid Trump state like Alabama is listed by the website.

Still, that means three of Alabama neighbors are apparently less than solidly behind Trump. Tennessee, like Alabama, is still considered a solid Trump state, according to Real Clear Politics.

The only Alabama neighboring state to vote Democratic in the presidential election this century was Florida in 2012. Before that, you have to go back to 1996 when Florida and Tennessee backed Bill Clinton's re-election campaign.

1. Florida went for Obama in 2008 as well.

Still, the idea that Trump will lose Alabama is more than a little idealistic.

4. No

But Hillary could manage a respectable single-digit loss in Mississippi.

5. Alabama would be one of the last states to vote for Hillary.

Idaho would be one of the last as well.

Idaho gave us this wonderful Republican debate a few years ago! I assume that the biker has been to some Trump rallies this year.
