CNN releases first battleground map for Clinton vs. Trump

CNN will probably call the race "close" even if Hillary is up by 20 just for ratings

They will force it to be close by any means necessary. Get ready for hundreds more email stories.

Here's NBC's map:

That's a little more reasonable. At least they don't have Nevada as a tossup.

But wait, NJ is only lean Dem? What the hell?

NJ is more likely to vote Republican than MN! lol

On VA/NC: isn't it logically consistent for only one of these to be a toss up? VA is always going to be at least few points more Democratic, so you'd think that if VA is a toss up, NC is lean R. And vice versa.

"Razor tight"

I was pissed off at them for blatantly lying about the Wisconsin D primary being close. I got my hopes up. On top of that, their horrible system of calling states made me miss recording the moment Hillary won PA while I was at her victory party. Along with their horrible tumblr-esque election results pages and s**t color scheme, and I'm swearing off CNN for good.
