Why would Florida be safe R while Missiouri is a tossup? I think Trump is a good fit for Missouri. Also why would Colorado vote to the left of Nevada?

Most of my map was determined using recent votes on ISideWith's website. I factored in the support of Clinton+Sanders for each state to determine how far each is leaning, while also taking Trump's support into consideration.

Slightly too pro-Trump.
Noticing that you have Pennsylvania as a toss-up. Pennsylvania is more than likely safe for Hillary.
I do notice you are from Penn, so your desire for your state to be too-close-to-call, could be obscuring your judgment.

Remember that every state is becoming more and more "liberal" as each year passes.
Our nation, and every nation, becomes more and more liberal as each day comes and goes.
Our planet is becoming more and more liberal as time keeps ticking.

Every human being on the planet now has easy ability at their finger tips, to see and read everything about how society functions (cell phones, tablets, computers, etc). Every new generation of youth desires to see and read more about "liberal" society. A vast majority of such youth (especially in modern or "western" societies) want to leave their past conservative lives. Here in the US, many teenagers and young adults move from their small towns, leaving the "older" adults behind. Some small towns in remote areas are left barren of any youth at all. The days of living on an isolated farm are far from over. New generations want to fell, absorb and live in the "big city," and live a more liberal life, and with that ... comes a tendency in gravitating towards political liberalism.

And it's an ever increasing domino effect, from one generation to the next.
This exists in every state, nation and world.
Many will not want to believe or accept this ... but sometimes reality is too hard for the mind and soul.


It sure seems this way with strong liberal views of young generations, but there are also many fallacies to that logic. We have had battles between conservative and liberal opinions throughout election history, with each side having a consistently fair chance of winning. We have recently witnessed a GOP takeover of the Senate. We have also seen a stronger GOP effort in the 2012 presidential election than the 2008 presidential election. Trump has been considerably strong at gaining the support of the younger generations. I agree, as values are decaying, more people are expecting an idealistic world where they don't have to work and the rich people will pay all of their bills. Most people grow up and eventually mature and realize the ideal economy is one in which effort translates into results. Maybe the Democrats will overwhelmingly take over everything in a few years, but where there's political monopoly, there's laziness and failure. The second strongest party of the time will always rise stronger than ever in response.

After the votes are counted come next November, here is my wild guess as to what the map will look like. But hopefully we will never find out! Smiley



If you are going to make a map, at least be able to distinguish wishful thinking and probable outcomes. As much as you may despise Trump, his message is hitting close to home for many American citizens. A Clinton vs Trump election will be as close as the last two and either side will have a fair chance at winning.
