If you think Trump can win, you're delusional.

This will end up an anticlimax of historic proportions.

1) This map is pure fantasy. Polls this far out don't mean anything.

2) I would never post something like this. It makes people complacent. I certainly have been told enough times that my vote does not matter and now I believe it.

Those swing states you posted? Most have republican everything (governors, etc.) I think those guys are going to wait till just before the election and purge voters before the courts can stop them. If this election goes forward with Hillary and Trump it's going to be close. A few hundred thousands votes here and there will swing the GE.

Perhaps the Libertarian/Constitution Party candidate would win it for us though by taking away votes from him. Doubt it, but who knows.

That won't be the case in November. And having spent a lot of time in GA, GA republicans are not voting for Hillary Clinton. That throws this entire map into doubt.

Give Trump Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and Wisconsin...and Clinton still wins.
