Harrington: Trump Would Give Clinton Tougher Race Than People Think

I think it would be a lot closer than a lot of people are saying. I think Trump puts a lot of states on the map that Republicans haven’t seen in years

Trump doesn't need to do much better than Romney to win.

He can plausibly win little or win big by flipping just a few states that are well within reach.

Hold all Romney states, add Florida (29), Ohio (18) and Pennsylvania (20).
273 Trump, 265 Clinton

Hold all Romney states, add New Hampshire (4), Florida (29), Ohio (18) and Pennsylvania (20).
277 Trump, 261 Clinton

Hold all Romney states, add Michigan (16), New Hampshire (4), Florida (29), Ohio (18) and Pennsylvania (20).
293 Trump, 245 Clinton

If Trump can flip New York all bets are off. It'll be YUGE!
