With more votes than any Republican in history, he already has.

“bombastic billionaire” = MSNBC still treating Donald Trump like a comic book character. Boy, will THEY be shocked on election night!

BTW, has anybody yet figured out how to bottle the tears from all of the snowflakes and other assorted “Progressives” from election night? I think tiny vials of authentic tears (along with proper provenance, of course) could fetch a pretty penny.

I've always wondered what would happen if the entire Electoral College went the way of Maine and Nebraska, where an electoral vote is awarded to the winner of each Congressional District, and two electoral votes given to the overall winner of the state.

And before you cite previous studies that show nothing would have changed in past elections, let me remind you that those studies were based on the existing votes cast. In some very dark blue states like Kalifornia, there are likely a lower turnout from conservatives because they know their state is going Democratic so don't even try.

And I'm sure the opposite is true in very Red states like Texas. No doubt Austin would go Democratic.

Can he?

NO!

Even New England went for Reagan.

I honestly think he is correct.

For one point, he is a different type of politician from the run of the mill beltway fools who fear for their jobs and public scrutiny. He’s rich and successful, why should he care what both sides of the house have been doing to him since he started this trip. Unless they get personal, they don’t mean a whole lot.

Secondly, each of his opponents have built a wall between their candidates so that a certain amount of them will vote for Trump because they can’t stand the other liberal candidate as theirs didn’t get in.

And thirdly, Trump’s overwhelming solid vote in the primaries from the people, (you remember those, don’t you? The ones that decide the general election.) has been far greater than anyone suspected.)

Does he have a chance to steal some liberal areas. I think so.

Can the bombastic billionaire rewrite decades of political realities?

He won the nomination spending a paltry 54 million dollars with strong competition who outspent him 5 to 1. He already re-wrote decades of political realities.

That said, how many hundreds of millions will liberals have to spend DEFENDING states which are supposed to be solid Democrat?

Yes, he can, so long as he doesn’t end up compromised by the GOPe. Hillary is being pushed further left by Sanders and Trump will steal the center. Provided Mitt, Bush, and all other thoroughly repudiated GOPe types keep their mitts off our candidate, I expect a landslide.

If Trump wants to change the Electoral Map he had better do some advance work and figure out how to deal with what is certain to be the biggest day in the history of Election Fraud - AKA Election Day 2016.

He has a smart team. They had better figure that out and do something about it.

Donald Trump says he’ll file his candidacy papers. Will he?

Donald Trump says he’ll lead all the polls by August. Will he?

Donald Trump says he’ll win beat Cruz in the south. Will he?

Donald Trump says he’s going to get to 1237 before the convention. Will he?

Trump could very well sin in WI, MI, PA and maybe NJ and CT.

I live in Southern Californina and I can say with certainty he won’t even get 40% in CA. As Ronald Reagan would say, this sate is so left, it has left the country!

Give the Democrat and the Republican parties some credit. The Democrats are helping by picking an unelectable, corrupt, hated candidate. The Republicans in the 2015 (and 2016) congress are helping by making lots of conservative voters want to give the middle finger to the republican party.

Whether you like Trump or not there are lots of reasons to vote for him. And that’s just for people voting out of hate for Hillary and the GOPe. People with pride in America have reasons to vote FOR him - not everyone who loves the country will vote for him but there are a lot of us who hope he’ll follow through on his enthusiasm for the country and the love he claims to have. And it’s nice to vote FOR instead of against a candidate.

In presidential campaigns from 1992 onward, Republican presidential performance in the Midwest and Northeast has been very disappointing. With the exception of Indiana and Missouri, the Midwest is either Democratic-leaning or battleground and average Republicans have almost no chance of winning any Northeastern state except New Hampshire.

But that could all change with Trump. I think Pennsylvania is very primed to switch red, considering its voting trends in recent years. Ohio is always very competitive and Michigan may be too. I’m less sanguine about Wisconsin and Minnesota but anything’s possible.

Trump’s unique appeal likely won’t flip New York, but he could do well in a lot of states that typical Republicans fare very poorly in.

A realistically obtainable outcome for Trump, who does far better than other Republicans in the Midwest and doesn’t lose votes elsewhere. (I’m giving VA to the Leftists because NoVA has exploded in size along with the size of the government.)
