I would give Trump VA and all of Maine. He lost Maine by 3 points, and although VA is now leaning dem due to NOVA, a financial crisis would have tilted the affluent suburban voters back to the GOP.

The only states that miiiight have flipped in this scenario are MN and ME. The country is way too polarized to elect someone like Trump in such a landslide, even with an awful economy. No way he wins the PV or cracks 60% in Montana, especially with his awful campaign.

VA voting for someone like Trump is about as likely as pigs starting to fly.

Trump lost VA by 5.3% despite a terribly run campaign, saying outlandish things, outspent 2:1, access hollywood tapes, lousy debates, and not even contesting the state. Yeah, with a financial crisis, Trump would have been quite competitive. He most likely would have won Loudoun and Prince William and improved in Fairfax.
