Two ways Trump wins — or loses
The Washington Examiner ^ | September 17, 2016 | W. James Antle III

Donald Trump's path to 270 in the Electoral College — the number of votes he needs to be elected president — became smoother this week, but obstacles remain with less than two months to go in the race for the White House.

Trump is now tied with or ahead of Hillary Clinton in several recent reputable national polls. More important is the Republican's steady gains in the battleground states. Trump is now leading in the RealClearPolitics polling average in three states Barack Obama carried in 2012: Ohio, Florida and Iowa.

An Emerson College poll found Trump leading in Colorado, a state that was thought to be out of the Republicans' reach this year, especially with the New York businessman at the top of the ticket. Trump's lead is just outside the margin for error...

You under estimate the rampant voter fraud this time. Romney actually won the legitimate votes.

I already put my money on the line and we haven’t had the debates yet. Hillary will go on about how Trump is a racist and Trump will probably troll her like he did the media - “Hey! Glad to see your program that adds or removes voters from state rolls costed Bernie the election, but then you threatened Bernie’s wife after she bankrupted Burlington University with a class action lawsuit, and why did you kill Seth Rich?”

Over.

Democrat battering at 2014 midterms and what it means for 2016:

<><> Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber,

<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas,

<><> 110 Of 140 Southern States election districts went Republican.

<><> Ark and Ill (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race b/c guvs control party machinery.

<><> Republicans unified control: gov/legislature in 23 states (Ntl Conference of State Legislatures factoid).

<><> Repub governorships: Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass.

=====================================================

Repub governors are crucial in a prez race b/c they control party machinery. Repub governors mean Repub Secy's of State.....who oversee precincts and rule on voter fraud.

I think that map plus NH is Trump’s most likely path to (a narrow) victory. VA is probably the least likely swing state to go his way.
