ELECTORAL MAP: Hillary Clinton is on track for a blowout win in November
Yahoo Finance ^ | 8-4-2016 | Business Insider

An electoral college map released Thursday from the University of Virginia Center for Politics projected Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton winning the November election by a landslide.

UVA altered its map to reflect recent changes in the likely political leanings of certain states, but Clinton still easily came out on top.

Larry Sabato, director of the UVA Center for Politics, explained what made the map different from most polls that reflect the more fickle tendencies of the electorate. The UVA electoral map focused on "the electoral fundamentals and fixed elements of politics that predetermine most votes, especially partisanship, demographics, and strong forces shaping the political landscape."

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump saw a brief bump in the polls after the party's convention in July, but that lead later slipped as Clinton regained ground after the Democrats' convention the following week

“If this voter fraud isn’t addressed, they will win every election from now on.”

You nailed it!

Here is my prediction:

The gray states could go either way but not enough to help Clinton.

Bolshecrats can sit back and collect their welfare checks, no point in going to the polls.

Thank you. Instead of whining and moaning, we need to remember your tagline, which I will be using often until Trump wins.

All part of the FUD: Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.

Right now, it looks like a Trump blowout and Crooked Hillary goes home.

> This is so serious I can’t believe it. Hillary will make us long for Obama - whose best quality is apparent lazyness.

I think he was chosen to fulfill the needs of a PC affimative action president so he would never get impeached while he wreaked havoc on the U.S. I don't think he really has to do anything but stay in office and keep his team on board with Jarrett pulling the levers. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he had a laundry list compiled by the NWO globalists who pay him well to follow the directives in the list. With Jarrett being his Ann Rutledge (Damien Thorne reference) he doesn't have to do anything but make an occasional speech and play golf.

You mean he predicted the McCain loss? Gee, maybe I should call him for this week’s lottery numbers.

The pinhead also said last year: “we should say: If Trump is nominated, then everything we think we know about presidential nominations is wrong.”

Why should I believe that Hillary is going to win the upcoming election?This info is coming from the Democratic Party mouthpiece Yahoo news and they’re biased as hell in everything they write about this upcoming election.

“Don’t forget the advice to be more like Romney if he expects to win.”

One of my survival memories came from my Grandfather and Parents;

Never listen to those who hate you or want to hurt you!

I’m sure Trump has made this one of his secrets in life.

Yes, Larry Sabato’s opinion is flawed by the `I’m-a-political `scientist’-so-I-can’t-be-wrong-but-my-head’s-up-my-***’ fallacy.

I think we make a big mistake by looking at these rallies as an indicator.

President Ron Paul agrees. He always had a lot of people show up at his rallies.

Not all polls are wrong. Trump has to step up his game. But at this point, I do think most everyone has made up their mind.

Agree, agree and agree. At this point, it's all about getting out the vote.

I wish I could be optimistic but I can't. Hillary has the support of her party, big money donors and a complacent media. Trump has none of this. Additionally, the Democrats have changing demographics in their favor. Every year there's more of them and fewer of us.

My prediction: Hillary wins in a landslide and takes back at least the Senate. She then goes to work very quickly.

No, he predicted that Romney would lose, but overestimated the number of electoral votes Romney would receive.

finace@yahoo.com is HIGHLY biased. Don’t believe it. Larry Saboto? I believe he had a paying position with the Clintons one time but I may be mistaken.
