I'd assume that Clinton's maverick move at the final debate of sticking a dead puppy up her hoo-ha while reciting the Lord's Prayer backwards and in tongues didn't receive glowing reviews.

My thoughts: Damn, Trump's "scorched solar system" campaign worked like a charm. Hillary should really have not been underestimating Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. She really makes the worst decisions... all the time.

I guess the rumors that "Hillary did 9/11" were true.

A pretty standard map... Trump is probably going to over preform in the rust belt and he has to win Florida...  Outside of those areas of focus and strength (Nevada, Colorado, Virginia) are probably tough.

Nothing lasts forever. Even the longest, the most glittering reign must come to an end someday.

I'd feel much worse than 2010 or 2014. That would be maybe the second or third worst post-World War II election for Democrats (after 1980 and 1994).

But also, Trump would be rightly hailed as the most talented American politician (at least in regards to campaigns) since Reagan.

This map represents what I believe to be the top end of Trump's possibilities.  He's not likely to do this, but this is as good as it CAN get for him. 

For this to happen for Trump, he'll have to tap into the frustrations of the entire white working class in a way unprecedented for any Republican since Nixon or Reagan.  This can happen, as white working class folks generally loathe the kind of SJW stuff that the Democrats are pushing these days, but Trump would have to take this tack up radically, while consolidating the normal base of GOP support to the point where they'll show up and vote for him, if nothing else. 

The difference between 1972 McGovern and 2016 Trump is simply this:  McGovern was positioned so far to the left to where many conservative and moderate Democrats found themselves far closer to Richard Nixon than their own party's nominee.  I'm talking about officeholders and party officials, not just rank-and-file voters.  Lots of Democratic officeholders refused to endorse McGovern, or stated that they would vote for McGovern, but not campaign for him.  (Then-GA Governor Jimmy Carter took that tack AFTER doing everything he could to get McGovern to pick him as his VP choice.)  This is happening with Trump, but the difference is that the dispute is personal; even the #NeverTrump crowd is far closer on issues to Trump than Hillary.  This is why Trump might unify the GOP while McGovern never could unite Democrats.

Recent polls show Trump leading in Utah.  I always considered the polls showing Clinton leading in Utah as outliers.
