Better yet…Donald Trump boldly wins the 2016 Republican presidential nomination and goes on to win election to become the nation's 45th president with an electoral-vote score of more than 400. His bold victory includes carriage of California, New York, Illinois, Washington, Maryland, Minnesota, but not Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Mexico, or Nevada. (You can't expect a presidential winner to dot all i's and cross all t's.) The four most pivotal bellwether states—Colorado, Florida, Ohio, and Virginia—also deliver Republican pickups to The Donald. And he also flips Iowa and New Hampshire.
