Electoral Map Is a Reality Check to Trump’s Bid
NY Times ^ | 04-02-2016 | JONATHAN MARTIN and NATE COHN

Donald J. Trump’s presidential candidacy has stunned the Republican Party. But if he survives a late revolt by his rivals and other leaders to become the party’s standard-bearer in the general election, the electoral map now coming into view is positively forbidding.

In recent head-to-head polls with one Democrat whom Mr. Trump may face in the fall, Hillary Clinton, he trails in every key state, including Florida and Ohio, despite her soaring unpopularity ratings with swing voters.

In Democratic-leaning states across the Rust Belt, which Mr. Trump has vowed to return to the Republican column for the first time in nearly 30 years, his deficit is even worse: Mrs. Clinton leads him by double digits in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Mr. Trump is so negatively viewed, polls suggest, that he could turn otherwise safe Republican states, usually political afterthoughts because of their strong conservative tilt, into tight contests. In Utah, his deep unpopularity with Mormon voters suggests that a state that has gone Republican every election for a half-century could wind up in play. Republicans there pointed to a much-discussed Deseret News poll last month, showing Mrs. Clinton with a narrow lead over Mr. Trump, to argue that the state would be difficult for him.

Hey,I went to Vassar. But as a general principle, your point stands.

How recently? He went not long after the changeover and probably got estrogened half to death. (I am a woman, btw. Even I wouldn’t have gone there, having been raised with brothers and being a conservative. I chose a “male” Ivy.)

Albion,

I was class of 1990. I only went because they had the best scholarship offer. If I could do it over again, I would go somewhere else (Fordham, probably).

So, you went 16-21 years after the changeover, and many of the kinks must have been worked out. Maybe it was a good scene for you dating-wise. Lazio probably went in the first few years of male admission, which was ground zero of the Second Wave of strident feminism.

Yes, I think Lazio was the first class of males at Vassar. Must have been a heck of a time!
I believe Vassar is officially androgynous now.

Isn't everyone? LOL

(not that there's anything wrong with that...)

Seriously, these SJWs are well on their way to outlawing sex differentiation altogether.
