Clinton Has Solid Lead in Electoral College; Trump’s Winning Map Is Unclear (nov 2016)
The New York Times ^

Posted on 09/08/2020 9:12:54 AM PDT by MNDude

Over the last few days of the race, Donald J. Trump intends to travel all over the country. He's going to Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire and even Minnesota, he said Saturday.

It’s an impressive travel schedule, but it may reflect the biggest challenge facing him right now: It’s still not clear exactly where and how he would win.

Hillary Clinton has a consistent and clear advantage in states worth at least 270 electoral votes, even if the race has undoubtedly tightened over the last few weeks. But even that understates the challenge facing Mr. Trump’s campaign: It’s not at all obvious where he has his best chance of breaking through, making it harder for him to concentrate his efforts over the last days of the campaign.

Just to a reminder that those give a tiny ounce to any poll.

They are all MEANINGLESS propaganda.

Fake News to the highest degree. They are trying to cover for Joe Biden only going out twice a week.

The DEMs won’t make the same mistake of ignoring the Rust Belt states, or at least ramping up voter fraud there to unstoppable levels.

And yet, no one can discern these MSM traitors are authors of BS propaganda and intentional subversive agents of disinformation?

Let’s not pretend this is an easy re-election. It should be on many grounds but it will come down to turn out. Mass mail ballots open up vectors for widespread fraud: Whether it’s delivery of ballots, delivery of returning ballots or standards used to identify acceptable, properly signed and marked ballots.

It’s articles like this one that sank Hillary Clinton in 2016. Why bother to cheat when it’s going to be a Democrat landslide anyway?

The Democrats surely won’t make that same mistake in 2020.

My view of Then-and-Now;

2016: LEFT/Dem was smug and confident. Right/GOP was scared and desperate!

2020: LEFT/Dem is scared and violent. Right/GOP is very wary and determined.

NEVER been polled. For all of the organizations conducting them and how frequently they do I’d imagine someone would have called in the last 32 years..

So that article noted that Hillary Clinton and Obama visited Michigan for the 2016 Presidential campaign. Unlike Wisconsin, Clinton and Obama did put an effort to win Michigan but Trump won there anyway.

CIRCA 2016 Trump's travel schedule reflects his biggest challenge: It’s not clear exactly where and how he would win.
Hillary Clinton has a clear advantage for at least 270 electoral votes, even if the race has tightened the last few weeks.

So why wasnt Hillary 50 points ahead of Trump in the polls? ..... and where were all her adoring crowds?.........cackle.

The states with mail-in voting and the states that will likely be blue overlap each other quite a bit. The REAL question are which states that Trump won have switched to mail-in voting or expanded voting. Pay attention to states that Trump won which have Democrat governors (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina) and have a Democrat in charge of counting votes. Those will be the ones to worry about. States like Texas and Florida aren’t going to flip and Republicans have seen to it that massive voter fraud is unlikely. The purple states Trump won last time are the ones to watch closely.

Trump can afford to lose one big state he won last time but not two. If he picks up Minnesota (which could flip over the riots), he might survive losing two big states.

The other thing that all the Democrat fraud could do is flip the Senate or retain the House. In a fair vote, I think both go GOP but, with all the fraud, seemingly “safe” GOP districts in purple states could be lost. Trump needs both the Senate and the House to govern effectively and prevent time wasted to endless investigations and another impeachment.

We might as well give up. Biden is almost as strong as Hillary, and Trump’s odds of winning are so low that it’s not even worth considering that possibility - almost as low as his odds were four years ago.
