New Analysis: Trump Could Sweep Toss Up States And Still Lose The Election

[DonViejo]

A new electoral map projection by Charlie Cook reveals that Donald Trump is severely behind in the Electoral College and he may not be able to catch up.

"As the race stands today, Trump could sweep the entire Toss Up column
and still come up two electoral votes short of the 270 needed to win," said the Cook political report. That means Trump could win Florida, Iowa, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Maine’s Second Congressional district, and Nebraska’s First Congressional district and still lose.

Cook's analysis finds that Trump's original strategy to win the Rust Belt is unraveling as he lags far behind Clinton in states like Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Cook writes that his analysis "generously" kept Georgia and Arizona "lean Republican" even though Trump is only a tiny bit ahead.

"Much of what he has said over the last month has only aggravated what would have already been a very difficult challenge," Cook wrote.

1. I got to think if he win's one

congressional district in Maine, he would win New Hampshire.

I still get 4 short of 270 even by his numbers. New Hampshire's four puts him at 270.

Trump wins New Hampshire but loses the Maine district, then it is 269-269.
