say its a perfect storm on Trump, is a 50 state blowout possible?

-What if Pence drops out?

-What if more tapes come out from the Apprentice?

-What if half the Religious Right do write-in votes or don't show up?

-What if Trump totally melts down at a debate?

Could we get to a 50 state sweep for Hillary?

Trump will get at least 40% to 45% of the vote even if he beat down a defenseless victim on camera. Since it isn't an even distribution across the country that means he will pick up some states no matter what. That being said if Trump keeps being Trump up till election day it could be a very blue map (all normally blue state, battle grounds, and some light red). The dark red states (AL, KY, TN, MI, etc) are voting for Trump no matter what.

will be needing federal help to clean up from Matthew. That could be an interesting state to watch.

TX, MS, MO, GA, KS, and IN will be easy to flip. AL where they barely let any minorities vote, ID, WY, MT, ND, SD, and TN will never flip. Trump's words express the Far right's views of women perfectly so he will always get 25%.

Tapes could emerge showing Trump raping kids and he'd still win the deep red states. Here in TX people have been conditioned to vote R, no matter the name next to the R
