Donald Trump’s electoral map looking worse than ‘choke artist’ Mitt Romney’s did in 2012

By Seth McLaughlin - The Washington Times - Wednesday, October 19, 2016

Donald Trump’s electoral map looks worse than Mitt Romney’s did four years ago at this point in the race, upending the billionaire businessman’s claim that his unorthodox appeal would be able to put new states in play for the GOP.

He has done just that — only it’s mostly been in the wrong direction, leaving him struggling to win states that have been deep red for generations.

Political handicappers now say Mr. Trump could end up with fewer electoral college votes than Mr. Romney — who lost to President Obama by a 332-206 margin, and whom Mr. Trump has described as a “stone cold loser” and a “choke artist.”


“There was a lot of bluster from the Trump campaign early on about playing in New York and California, but the reality is much different,” said Nathan Gonzales of the Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report, a nonpartisan group that tracks elections.

The good news for Mr. Trump is that he appears to be on stronger footing than Mr. Romney was in Iowa and Ohio, according to recent polling averages.

The bad news is he is worse off in Colorado, Florida, Michigan, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Virginia, and also is putting out fires in Georgia and Arizona, which have been GOP strongholds. Even in Utah, one of the most conservative states in the country, GOP domination is threatened by the emergence of third-party candidates.

Trump though, is competitive with much better numbers in states Mitt got blown out of,

Illinois, Minnesota, I mean some maps have MN as a swing state, Trump has some competitiveness in many states, even if Trump fails, it does show the GOP does have a chance to get some traction.

Oh, the Trump haters say "populism",  I don't agree with that, and it's difficult to get anything going in the Blue Wall,

NY Michigan and so on.

Again, to be in the game in some states, is amazing to begin with.

Hillary running ads in Calif.? Really, she shouldn't need to.

Tom, I like you. But you know deep down this is just not an honest appraisal of the situation.

More like Amazon Women on the Moon's "Bullshit Reenactment" version. :) Too bad I couldn't find the clip - it's even got a snippet of Nearer my God in it!

Trump is competitive in the upper mid-west states. I'll wager Trump/Pence does better there than Romney/Ryan.

Is that the same John Harwood featured in Wikileaks giving tips to the Clinton campaign?

Unattributed sources of course... :laugh:

I saw you on TV a while back. You were  wrong. There were American soldiers in Iraq. They were right behind you.

Well at least your sense of humor seems to be overcoming your disappointment in Trumps failing. It's a brave front you put up but we know your dying on the inside. So thats good I guess.

At this point, I don't put faith in any poll.  I have no idea who is going to win.  This is the first time I have seen Texas pink.  It could be, in Texas, third party votes combined with Republicans skipping the presidential choice, are going to give it to Clinton.

I'll take that wager.  $100 to GOP Briefing Room from the loser.

Trump is losing big in every Midwestern state but Ohio. 

The sign of a losing campaign:  press conferences.  Hillary does one every day now, on her plane.

Trump hasn't done a formal press conference since the end of August.
