2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why is Trump campaigning in blue states? WI, MI, CO, etc.? What does he hope to gain by this? [View all]Coyotl
(15,262 posts)24. Trump knows he can't win at this point. By how much is the question now. GOTV
The real question today is, "Can he hang onto the four red leaning states?" and thus stay above the 200 mark. I doubt it. I expect three to go blue on election day, maybe even Texas if we get Latino turnout. We Dems are overcoming millions of suppressed voters and kicking butt anyway. Hopefully we have the turnout to overcome gerrymandering too.

Maybe, but that might be too obvious because of what the "R" represents.
