I believe Donald Trump has a psychological profile that involves conflicts with his mother. Someone needs to do some narrative research on his outbursts around women and find out what specific topics set him off. Then Hillary can use that information to get him to make inappropriate outbursts right on cue.

Is that the one that smells like burning landfill or burning orange dog hair? Either way, I’ll pass.

She will and we will. Hillary knows there is more on the line just winning the White House. Its about taking back the Senate and taking a large bite out of the House majority (hopefully to finally end it by 2020) and flipping a few governor’s mansions.

The fact of the matter is, that with just the states that we have always won in every election since 1992, and Florida…we win. But we are going after MUCH MUCH more than that. We want NH, because we want Ayotte sent home. We want Ohio, because we want Portman out of a job. We want NC because we want Burr and McCrory sent packing. We want AZ so we can get McCain off the Sunday talk show circuit. We want WI so we can get Feingold back where he belongs and get the dumbest guy in the Senate out of there. The list goes on and on, but I think you get the drift.

It’s called Narcissistic Personality Disorder…there is no cure and it is very very toxic…

Intuitively, this map looks about right. I always felt that Rubio and then Kasich were her strongest opponents but the GOP base didn’t agree. So yeah, that works.

Is there a scientist in the house?

So, after the funeral for the Republican Party, should we salt and burn their bones? … Just to make sure they don’t come back as some even more awful monster.

Cook does a pretty decent job on this type of stuff. But so far, it really hasn’t mattered where you look…everyone is early predicting a Clinton landslide in the Electoral College.

Complacency is always a concern, but all signs seem to be pointing to a lot of people quite enthusiastic to vote against Trump. And of course, the MSM is about to have a heart attack, because they can’t build a horse race narrative out of maps like this. So without a doubt they are going to do everything in their power to hide/shift these type of analysis.

She is squarely focused on the CA Primary and General Election too. Check out her campaign schedule:

What flavor of scientist? Darr’s here, I’m here and I’m sure there are others.

they will discuss it.

Lewin and Beck’s shots across the bow will force Fox News to address the matter head on at some point. There will probably be someone carted out and that person will spout every Fox News point from the last ten years, as to why it will be an upset.

Now it won’t do any good, but imagine this Sunday’s ‘Meet The Press’ roundtable…yeesh.

The NY Times had a similar map yesterday here:

The total is Hill 347, Trump 191. The opening paragraphs sum it up pretty well:

Current national and battleground state polls have Mr. Trump trailing Mrs. Clinton by about 10 percentage points should they face off in the general election.

If those numbers hold, Mrs. Clinton would take all of the states that President Obama won in 2012, as well as North Carolina (which he won in 2008), putting her far over the 270 electoral votes needed to win.

Obama beat Romney by something like 100 electoral votes, I suspect Hillary will increase that number. It may seem like a no-brainer, but keep in mind Trump is exactly what the GOP has been for the past 8 years, he’s just louder about it and given how divided and tribal the country is, the percentages will still be close but the electoral votes may not.

Hillary, more than any other candidate in either party, has shown she’s above the fray, can stay focused and has an unwavering (though flexible) plan to win this thing, and to put more Democrats in Congress both nationally and locally. I’ll be very glad when Trump and the GOP not just lose, but lose embarrasingly.

Maybe I’m a glass half empty guy, but I’m disturbed by not seeing a solid map of blue.

I think it’d be best if we’d also cover those bones in silver, holy water, and cement and then bury them someplace where there’s always direct sunlight. Just saying, you can never be too careful.

Just pitch the remains in a vat of fluorosulfuric acid. That should remedy any zombie issues.
