Summary, for your convenience:

1. Midwest Math, or Welcome to Our Rust Belt Brexit. I believe Trump is going to focus much of his attention on the four blue states in the rustbelt of the upper Great Lakes – Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Four traditionally Democratic states – but each of them have elected a Republican governor since 2010... Mitt Romney lost by 64 electoral votes. Add up the electoral votes cast by Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It’s 64.

2. The Last Stand of the Angry White Man. (no real supporting logic)

3. The Hillary Problem. (self evident)

4. The Depressed Sanders Vote. (Enthusiasm gap)

5. The Jesse Ventura Effect. (Voters just blowing off steam because of the anger that so many have toward a broken political system.)

Thanks for the summary. MM might be a communist kook but he is not stupid.
