So after taking a look at the map Trump has to hold Ohio, Florida, Arizona, and North Carolina while winning one of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Minnesota, or Virginia. So what do y’all think the most likely of those states is to go Trump?

Pennsylvania, especially after the ruling that they couldn't accept naked ballots.

Pennsylvania is Trump country. They worship him there. Drive from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and it’s nothing but Trump shrines.

I don’t know, but I think PA is likely to go Trump again.

No chance in Virginia, you should include Minnesota, Nevada, and New Hampshire in your group.

Both AZ and NC will be challenges, but Trump looking better there by the day (as the "polls" are adjusted closer to election so they don't look so biased and silly).

You like MI don't you baw?

I think VA will be the biggest challenge there. I think MI, PA and WI will all be razor close no matter what.

Frankly, it all comes down to how successful the Dems are in cheating in those 3 states. Trump probably increases his EC votes over 2016 in a clean election.

I see him holding the ones you speak of.

I also think Wisconsin and Minnesota break for him.

What possible reason would people in Pennsylvania have for voting against Trump? Or any state that he won in 2016 for that matter. No such reason exists.

Minnesota. The iron range swinging to Trump is Game-Set-Match

This would be the most likely outcome based on polling today assuming Trump wins states where Biden polls with less than a 4% lead. I think there are several reasons that Trump under-polls and that 3-4% would be a good margin.

I think Trump takes Wisconsin. Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Minnesota will all be razor close. I think Virginia is a lock for Biden.

I think the whole race will come down to Pennsylvania.

If history holds, I think he'd have to win Ohio also. I'm pretty sure Ohio has been a presidential bellwether state for more than 50 years.

I suppose in the end it might be anecdotal and not exactly causal, but still.

I can see that.

Also NH goes red.

Ohio is solid red this year, IMO.

Ohio is pretty much a lock for Trump I believe. No Republican has won the presidency without Ohio though.

PA is going to be the close one.
