17. Texas by FAR, as we can lose almost ALL the rest of the close swing states & still win if we won TX
Thu Oct 1, 2020, 06:31 AM

If we won TX every election, odds are staggeringly high we will not have another Rethug POTUS for decades, if ever.

The only remotely close states we would need to win are MN, NH, and NV.

VA and CO are pretty much perma Blue now, barring a disasterclass Dem nominee.

AND, if we win MI, we could lose any 2 of MN, NH, and NV, and still win.

And there are TEN other states that I gave the Rethugs, all of them winnable, plus the 2 split districts (which I gave both to Trump to show how HUGE TX is)

Bottom line, without TX going forward, the Rethugs ARE FUCKED, POTUS-wise.




Finally, if we won only FL, TX, and VA (plus the DEEP Blue states), we could LOSE ALL the rest and win every time.
