This one is more technical - Clinton or Trump needed to have won a state by more than 5% for to give it a lean and more than 10% to make it safe.


Safe Democratic - 183
Lean Democratic - 18
Tossup - 133
Lean Republican - 78
Safe Republican - 126

Has it occurred to anyone that there was only one tipping point state this year? If you flip the one state the other side wins.

Texas?

Trump should do (much?) better in Texas in four years if it's a competitive election and he has decent approvals. Other than that, the map looks good (though maybe CO/NV/NH could be considered lean D).

Why, though? Clinton won them all by pretty small margins even as she won the popular vote.
