Trump Ahead Or Tied For 284 Electoral Votes — 14 More Than He Needs

by Dick Morris on November 5, 2016

Donald Trump, according to the latest polling, is ahead in states with 230 electoral votes and is tied in five states with a combined 54 more, giving him a potential haul of 284 votes — 14 more than he needs to win.

And that doesn’t count Florida where RealClearPolitics.Com shows Hillary clinging to a 1.2 point lead.

Trump is ahead in all the states Romney carried (including Indiana and North Carolina) and in Ohio (18 votes) and Iowa (6). He is tied in Pennsylvania (20), Michigan (16), Nevada (6), New Hampshire (4), and Colorado (8).

And he could still carry Florida and has an outside shot at Wisconsin.

I think it's dangerous. No one should be fueling the Trumphumper's delusions at this late stage. They'll be all the more enraged when they lose.
