I'd like to begin by saying that I am an anti-establishment trump supporter. I enjoy seeing someone that is a nationalist even if he doesn't share all of my libertarian beliefs. I feel as though Trump isn't an outright shill.
To the point, is it impossible for a Republican to win the national election. I'm neither too politically savvy nor entirely ignorant, but I don't believe the math in in the GOP's favor.
The basis of this claim was formulated on 270towin.com. Choosing "same since 200" and adding Florida into the mix gives Hillary the election. Why Florida? Changing demographics and the questionable Bush win in 2000.
With Virginia allowing 200,000 convicted felons to now vote that's another 13 for the Democrats.
I believe the GOP simply cannot and will not win this election nor any future elections. This has become a one party country.
I personally feel that several secessionist movements should occur. I've been following the Texas Independence Movement as case study and example for the rest of the country.
Please, let me have your input /pol.

He could flip all the 10 swing states. Not sure about anything beyond that.
Even if he won all ten he loses! That's the point that I'm trying to make; the election is already over!

That's not all swing states. Also, Trump is very popular in the Midwest. I believe he could win them.

This is why Democrat strategists actually want Trump to win, you know.
>Virginia allowing convicted felons to vote
I think this will blow up in their faces. Virginia Republicans are going to be more likely to vote now, and I doubt convicts are actually going to show up to the polls.

Most likely contestants are Pennsylvania and Michigan, they were destroyed by Hillary's open borders free trade politics and they know it.

This. Don't discount his chances in places like New Hampshire and Maine. Anywhere that has lost manufacturing is likely to be receptive to his message.
I think he's better served fighting there than places like Iowa and Wisconsin. The upper midwest is too cucked; but the great lakes region is definitely in play. Maybe even New Jersey.
But definitely PA.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida are all that are needed but others are definitely in play.
Of the ten closest states in the 2012 election, Obama won 9 of them by 6% or less.
All of those are very much in play this year with Dem turnout down and Republican turnout up and I don't think anyone can argue that Trump is not a stronger candidate than Romney was while Obama was not a much stronger candidate than Hillary is now.

An actual political thread. Who would've guessed. Since Hillary won't be arrested or charged, there is little to change the traditional blue-states. The swing states likely won't be enough, bc polls indicate Trump leading in one Category:white males. Hillary leads with virtually every other.
If he can pull New York out of his ass we'll have a fighting chance
>>72336886
uh, if he flips all 10, he's winning with over 300 delegates.
He could flip 9 and lose florida and still win.
i don't see it happening
Trump can't win the general election
