Election Paths

 

Election Paths

 If we watch the conventional polls and the Real Clear Politics averages, we have to conclude that “all is lost” for Trump and the republicans in the coming election.  Unfortunately, we have to reach this conclusion even allowing for suppression polling and media skewing of the polls.  We simply cannot explain away the large margins of Biden over Trump, even in the swing states.

 But wait a minute.  A close look at the electoral map, and reference to the Trafalgar Group, who accurately predicted not only the 2016 national election, but many other elections against the conventional polling grain, shows that Trump may very well win in 2020, as he has been saying all along.  Links follow.

 A look at the electoral map shows that if Trump wins Florida’s 29 electoral college votes, Pennsylvania’s 20 and either of Minnesota’s or Wisconsin’s 10 votes, he can afford to lose Michigan, Wisconsin (or alternately Minnesota), Arizona and Nevada, and still win the election with 277 electoral votes.  He could lose Pennsylvania, win Arizona and Nevada, and still win with 274 electoral votes.

 So, certainly, all is not lost to Trump and the republicans.  A good showing in the coming debate, good economic news for the third quarter, positive news about vaccines and the continuing almost frenetic pace of his multi-state daily rallies, all are positive for Trump, as are Biden’s silence on court packing and other major issues, and the increasing din of the “pay for play” schemes of the Biden family.
