..”, but the liberal media loves to trot out their trash polls about the president’s approval ratings and support for impeachment in what could be argued as a prolonged campaign to demoralize the GOP base.”

It can also be argued that the deceptive polling in 2016 and now was intended to make the planned Democrat vote-fraud seem less preposterous. Keep telling Americans that Trump can’t win and they are less likely to get riled up when truckloads of “lost” ballots are found in swing-state urban centers at the last minute throughout the country.

How many votes in New York, California, Colorado, Illinois, and Broward County?
Everything is a toss-up and room to improve.

I’m leaning towards about 350 votes, if Republicans go out and vote like their lives depend on it.

Only 350 votes? That is not even worth voting. Lets guarantee President Trump a Landslide vote like this great nation has never been seen before, and will most likely never see again.

Assuming Trump doesn't lose States he won, his likely pick ups and margin by which he lost - and electoral votes are

New Hampshire, 0.37% – 4
Minnesota, 1.52% – 10
Nevada, 2.42% – 6
Maine, 2.96% – 2
Colorado, 4.91% – 9

325 at best.

I have been on record for a year:

Trump will get between 320 and 340 electoral votes. He’ll hold all his 2016 states and add NH and MN.

However, depending on the candidate, he might add NM and NV, and VA is only a flip of 125,000 votes away-—not at all unreasonable.

One thing not mentioned here or in the article;

What happens if Trump out right whens the popular vote?

Think of those really big states (California, New York, etc.) who have passed laws that require all their electoral votes to go to the candidate that wins the popular vote.

What a delicious thought! Everyone in California votes against Trump and those votes are taken away and the Electors are requires to vote for Trump.

That friends is pay back!

What can be done about snowbirds who domicile in NY (and rightly vote there in national elections) and have a residence in FL? The FL residence gives them the right to vote in local FL elections but the national ticket is on the same ballot.

I’m sure many double vote.

You say “at best”, which is entirely tpo pessimistic, if not down right defeatist. There is a very good chance that he picks up New Mexico and Nevada this time around as well, I bade my belief on the fact that his campaign is far more data driven than any other campaign in American history. We shall see.

If anything, how the liberal media has behaved over the past three years has only become one massive in-kind contribution to Trump’s re-elect as everyone sees through their bias, lies, and gross incompetence. How many times were we told about Russian collusion? It was a myth. How many times have we heard the ‘walls are closing in’ on this presidency? They’re not. There’s a reason why the media is distrusted. There’s a reason why ‘CNN sucks’ remains a popular chant. The inability for the media to cover this White House accurately has reached epic proportions and frankly, it’s to the point where it’s no longer digesting information. We're tuning into these networks to get a good laugh and gauge how Trump Derangement Syndrome has engulfed the Left.

320 to 340 votes? Pfft that is not even worth bothering to vote. We must do much better than that, so he can get all 50 states.

“The projections are based on how consumers feel about their financial situations, stock market gains achieved under Trump and the prospects for unemployment. “

Which is why the DemocRats are desperately trying to crash the economy.

You just brought a big smile to my face.

My guess is that the actual electors from those states would decide to become revolutionaries and refuse to cast their votes for Trump.

You see, leftists love to make the rules for others to follow, but they become revolutionaries when _they_ don't like the rules, even if they created them!

A defeatist would say Trump will lose. A pessimist would say he will win by an equal or fewer number of EVs. My analysis is called being realistic and not Pollyanna, i.e. Swinging New Mexico by 821 basis points.

I think he will win by a wider margin than last time, but we need to keep the hammer down to battle fraud and every dirty trick they'll use this time around. I'd rather focus resources on PA vs a dream of getting NM.

The 'press' is too shallow to realize their silly bias works in our favor...

Trump has to win all the swing states by more than 100,000 votes or the democrats will steal it with fraud...They probably have already printed the ballots..
