I can't see how Trump can win any blue state on your map.

Oct. 23. Porn star Jessica Drake claims Donald Trump offered her $10G, use of his private jet for sex
Donald Trumps offer of $10,000 and the use of his private jet couldnt turn a porn star into a prostitute.
Jessica Drake whose credits include Sex for Sale and Think Pink claims she rejected the billionaires crude come-ons during a 2006 golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Calif.
This is not acceptable behavior for anyone much less a presidential candidate, the adult film star said ........

Oct. 25. Donald Trump hosted wild parties with sex, cocaine and underage models: report
..... Trump allowed the attendees to do whatever drugs they wanted, the photographer said. As guests partied hard on coke and top-shelf liquor, the mogul would stroll from room to room and hook up with girls.
He'd wander off with a couple girls. I saw him. He was getting laid like crazy," the photographer said. "Trump was at the heart of it. He loved the attention and in private, he was a total f---ing beast. .....

Ninni Laaksonen, a former Miss Finland in the Miss Universe competition that Trump once owned, alleged in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat that Trump groped her before an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006.
Before the show we were photographed outside the building, Laaksonen said, according to a translation provided by The Telegraph. Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt.
I dont think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: What is happening?
Laaksonen said that she had been told at other events that year that Trump found her attractive because she reminded him of his wife, Melania, whom he had married the year before.
Somebody told me there that Trump liked me because I looked like Melania when she was younger, Laaksonen said. It left me disgusted.

The Senate was looking good for the dems for a while, but it looks like the repubs are surging in a few of those Senate races, and the dems may not take it, or may not get 50. We'll find out in a week
