I've been looking at how Trump can pull this off.  There are many hard core leftist states we are stuck dealing with that make Trumps path difficult. After looking at it a bit, I think Trump needs to flip one of the following; MN, CO, VA or NM.  This map allots him NC, GA, FL, OH, AZ and NV, which I think he stands a good change of taking.  After looking at fivethirtyeight.com, it appears his best chance of flipping one of the four key states may be in MN.





With MN:




If you are in any of the "swing" states, or the four I mentioned, please vote for Trump.  For the sake of the supreme court, talk to your friends, drive them to the polls and make it happen.


I would love to see yall's maps for how you think the election is likely to go.  Here is an easy tool for building your own map to post.

http://www.270towin.com/


Look at five thirty eight's expected margin of victory and decide which states you see as most likely to swing Trump.

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/?ex_cid=rrpromo


Most importantly, go vote for the candidate who is most likely to give us 2nd amendment friendly judges.

I thought Colorado was gonna go Trump? Or was that from polling two days ago and now it's not true anymore.

Utah might go 3rd party thanks to the Mormons who are too blind to see that standing by their principles will get them the candidate they like the least. Sort of like the libertarians and nevertrumpers on this forum.

That would be nice but polls would have to be off by about 25% for that to happen.  I just don't think they are skewed that far.

If Trump flips MN or VA, he would still win.  In the event Utah prevents Trump or Hillary from getting 270, Trump most likely wins at the house.

H is +7.7 for WI and +8.8 for MI, both slightly higher than MN. 538 put's their polling margin as tighter with them as well, making a turnover less likely. CO is slightly closer than MN at +7.5, but again 538 puts their polling methodology as more precise in CO making MN slightly more likely to change.

For reference, here is the actual results from the 2000 election, Bush won with 271, as we can see, an exceptionally tight race.


Link Posted: 10/24/2016 11:44:09 AM EDT
[#11]

In 2004, Bush did slightly better with 286 electoral votes.





Link Posted: 10/24/2016 11:50:04 AM EDT
[#12]

Of note, TX has grown from 2000 to 2016 and now has 6 more electoral votes.


NY on the other hand has lost 4 votes and now sits at 29.


FL has gained four votes since 2000, making it even more important.


IL has shrunk 2 votes.


LA, MO have both lost an electoral vote but GA has gained 3 votes.


OH has lost 3 votes since 2000, making it slightly less important.

Not sure it would help all that much. The north is conservative but not that densely populated. The south is liberal holds most of the population, in particular the ethic population which is what sways the state. Or so im told, no desire to go to the POS state.

Those six points are just unlikely to cost Trump the election. If no one gets 270, then the house will give it to Trump.

File this in the FWIW department.

A friend of mine behind  enemy lines in MASSACHUSETTS says that there is an unprecedented number of Trump signs that just seemed to show up over the past couple of days.

MA will probably go blue when it is over and done with but the number of signs in a state like that is probably a very good sign.

Again, FWIW.

MA is showing +24.1 H, I just don't see that margin being overcome.  


PA is far more likely at +7H, if all the polls are off by 7 points, Trump wins.  If they're off by 8 points, Trump wins in a landslide.  Giving 4 points in Trumps favor gives the map above where we have to swing one of the listed states: CO, NV, MN or VA.

That would be pretty interesting, though I think Utah going for McMullin is more likely than a straight 269 tie.  Either way I think Trump wins after the house gets to decide the election.

Bergen County, NJ is redder than most areas of Jersey.  I was at a party over the weekend and the only people voting H where the two hosts.

... doesn't mean anything compared to the bodies in Newark, Trenton, etc. but does surprise me.  NJ hasn't gone red since Reagan/80 I think.  But there just aren't a lot of campaign signs out and most are bottom-ticket WITHOUT mentioning party affiliation or are for Trump.

If the mormons voting for a 3rd party are the deciding factor and they hand the white house to Clinton.....

It is not that simple.  There are only 50 votes cast in the house (each state delegation gets one vote), DC does not get to vote. The House chooses from the top THREE candidates...Now, hasn't trump gone out of his way to piss of everyone in the House? hmmmm...

I remember when WA had R senators, an R governor and voted for Reagan.

I think Ron Paul would have beaten Hillary in WA in 2008 if Jeb hadn't been the FL governor in 2000.

I'm pretty sure trump hit this to get the states around d the great lakes.  His theme is anti illegal immigration and NAFTA took her jobs.  



If that worked and he convinced a fair percentage of a couple generations who watched their great cities fall apart he is going to wipe the floor with her.




I really think a lot of union Dems up there do t want to say they are voting for trump but they will.  He is the ideal candidate for them.  Hopefully it works

RCP has Michigan at +10 for H.  538 has them at +8.8 for H.  MN is +4.3 for H on RCP and +7.6 for H on 538.  I think MN is more likely to swap than MI.

Your state awards votes to the winner of each congressional district separate from the state winner.  You should definitely vote.


Just remember, rural states votes matter more than big city votes because of the electoral distribution, we would fair even worse without the electoral vote system.
