The 2020 Map as I see it

J-A-8 2020 TRUMP

Here is the way to look at 2020.

Leave the map results the same except remove FL, PA, MI, and WI.

If everything else remains the same, the Electoral College sits at:
Democrat = 232
Trump = 231

To win the election either candidate would have to win FL and one of the 3 states PA, MI, or WI.

Or

If a candidate loses FL, they can still win the election by winning all 3, PA, MI, and WI.

If you have the mind set to look for additional changes
then Trump has the advantage here.

Trump now has Ohio, Iowa, and Maine CD 2 locked.
The Democrat will not be able to win AZ, NC, GA, or TX.

6 states Clinton won are still in Trump’s range to win.

New Hampshire
lost by 0.37% (for 4)

Minnesota
lost by 1.51% (for 10)

Nevada
lost by 2.42% (for 6)

Maine State winner
lost by 2.96% (for 2)

Colorado
lost by 4.91% (for 9)

Virginia
lost by 5.32% (for 13)

Advantage Trump

========================================================
Trump’s election in 2020 is set in 5 groups of States

======
Group 1
The 20 States Trump won by over 14.00% margin each

for 126 electoral college votes

WY, WV, OK, ND, ID, KY, SD, AL, AR, TN
NE, KS, MT, IA, IN, MO, UT, MS, AK, SC

======
Group 2
The other 4 from the Romney 24

for 80 electoral college votes

TX, GA, NC, AZ

======
Group 3
High margin additions

for 25 electoral college votes

OH, IA, Maine CD 2
Won by 8.07%, 9.41%, 10.28% respectively

======
Group 4
for 29 electoral college votes
Florida

======
Group 5
Battlegrounds
Where most of rallies must be
Where the RNC must start in 2018

If Trump has the 260 from groups 1-4, one of these 7 wins Trump the election.

If Trump losses Florida or any State in groups 1-4, he must make it up from these States only.
No other states available.

1- Colorado - 9 for the tie and house vote win
2- Minnesota 10
3- Wisconsin 10
4- Virginia 13
5- Michigan 16
6- Pennsylvania 20
7- New Hampshire 4 plus Nevada 6 = 10

It is important Trump starts right now.
It is important the RNC starts right now.

Trump can go to these states and give speeches.

More importantly talk to the people there, like Trump did in the campaign.

Real one on one talk with industry and business leaders, community leaders, police and fire departments, clergy, and citizens is what Trump must do.

Work to make the difference in the lives of the people.

Let the Democrat have the Hillary 14 lock States and DC.

The media has divided the country.

We can not allow the media to win.

We beat them in 2016 and we must beat them again in 2020.

If we put Virginia and Colorado as Democrat locks for 2020

If we put Virginia and Colorado as up for grabs, then the number of combinations for Trump increases from 71 to 257.

Trump may not have the luxury of going after VA and CO,
but if there was a way, I would say go for them.

The more the map is expanded the better the chance of diluting the Democrat’s efforts.

Which was part of what happened to Clinton in 2016.

By winning Maine State winner, VA, NH, NV, CO, and MN, Clinton took away 247 of the 257 paths Trump had.

Clinton’s problem was she needed to take away all 257 paths.

This is what I was writing on MSNBC in the summer of 2016.

I showed how it was mathematically nearly impossible for Clinton to win.

Instead of defending the right States, Clinton went on offense that was not necessary.

Clinton tried for states she did not need, could not win, and did not win.
NC, GA, TX, MO, AZ, and UT

I found evidence in the final data Clinton went after Kansas.

========================================================

Depends on the Dem nominee, but I dont see Trump winning WI and MI again

We will see
The Democrats have put out bizarre platform so far.
and the American people were fooled by Obama
If the Democrat Nominee changes and goes all mainstream,
I think we will see right through it.
WE GOT BURNED BY OBAMA BIG TIME.
All those people who voted for Obama in 2008 and many held on and voted for him again in 2012 like me,.
NOW SEE WE GOT BURNED BADLY
OBAMA DID NOT BELIEVE IN ANYTHING HE WAS SPEWING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
TRUMP ACTUALLY BELIEVES IN WHAT HE TELLS US.
I THINK TRUMP WILL WIN
I DONT SEE THE PEOPLE LIKE ME FLIPPING BACK TO DEMOCRAT IN 2020

This will be the first election where the winner of Ohio and Florida could still lose the race.

It is way early and no Democrat candidate yet. However there are a few things that we can consider now.
There is no indication that Trump has increased his base in the last two and a half years. In fact he has been doing a pretty good job at pissing off minority groups, women, some farmers and some factory workers.
His list of promises not kept will provide major talking points. And it looks like he is going into over-drive to try to get something done on the wall. And he knows that he will be in trouble if the economy goes south.
It has been shown that two of the most important factors in our elections is changing demographics and voter turnout. The turnout in the mid-terms was very good for the Democrats. And I predict that it will be better next year. And that isn’t good for Trump.
And the latest polls show that he is underwater in a lot of districts that he won in 2016.
The most important thing is that Trump was a unknown commodity in 2016. He now has a track record.
And I think that his record will do him in.

I don’t see Trump winning CO. Gardner will be lucky to hold onto his seat.

Agreed. I just don’t see where Trump picks up any voters in 2020. Who is coming over to his side that wasn’t already there in 2016? And those Dems that didn’t either vote, or bit their lip and voted Trump … are they going to do either of those again in 2020? Not in such large numbers.

Why are you so sure of Arizona? I think its headed blue. Probably gonna lose their Senate seat as well. I see Arizona as an uphill battle for trump

Fair assessment. Looks like Trump’s re-election will once again depend on who gets chosen for the voters to run against him.

I won’t go into the Electoral College as a whole just yet, but there is a peculiar “wildcard” situation in Florida that could benefit Trump.

There is a ballot measure currently in signature stage that would remove the right to keep and bear arms from the Florida Constitution. If that gets on the ballot, that will surely galvanize conservative voters to turn out.

If it doesn’t make the ballot or is disqualified from the ballot, a Democrat likely carries the State.

I give the 2020 Democratic nominee at least a 50% chance of winning Arizona next year.
