52-47 in the popular vote would translate to a very comfortable win in the EC and a quick election night.
Reagan ‘84 is probably out of reach due to the Kalifornia/New Yawk entrenchment and Publik Skools, but a Bush-Dukakis type victory may be in the realm of possibility.
Complacency is our biggest enemy. We need to fight like hell every minute. I'll be thrilled if the President gets the same EV count (and nothing more) that he got in '16.A nationwide popular vote majority would be nice but unlikely...thanks to wetbacks and the dead voting in Kalifornia.
I assume Trump will break election records on Nov. 3, 2020. Lots of Democrats will vote for President DJT, but deny it. In the voting booth, there’s just the voter and his wallet. California will be mightily surprised by PDJT’s vote total, plus Congressional votes.
52% is close to a landslide by modern standards. Obama got 52.86% in 2008. With Cali fraud I think it would hard to achieve. I’d be happy to win the “popular vote” at all.
In EC terms, gainable states are in loose order NH, MN, NV, CO, VA, ME (at large), NM, that would be 355. 37 states.
Beyond that is not likely, Oregon and Delaware (Bernie not Biden) would be next. There was a Delaware poll, all dems but Biden only led narrowly.
