Look at this map. Which is VERY generous to Trump. He's basically starting a hand with AK suited and the only way to win is a royal flush.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/create_your_own_president_map.html

The loss of VA/CO/NM has basically pwned the GOP.

Just looking at the Bush/Gore map, you see how screwed he is.

CO/VA/NV are forever lost.

This poker analogy is awful. Anyway, the map is challenging, but if he can make inroads into a rust belt dem state like PA then he could do it. I think oh and fl actually look ok for him. Odds are against him but he has a shot

NC doesn't really matter. There's no scenario in which he's winning FL/OH/PA but losing NC. If Hillary is winning NC, it's already a landslide.

Good map. Probably the most likely map if he wins. But I can't see him sweeping the midwest and Florida.

Yeah, almost no scenario in which he wins MI but loses FL. He would be over 300 EVs by the time he won MI.

It does look insurmountable for Trump. However, there is the theory that the swing states tend to "swing" together so that there really isn't a "blue wall". Nate Silver argued this last year. Unless you have something like the 2000 election (popular vote difference of less than .5%) the winner of the popular vote will also win enough of the swing states to get to 270.

FL, OH, and IA would be givens for Trump if the election were close enough to favor him.

Then he would just need to win one of PA or VA, or both NV and NH. Very doable.
