Can Hillary win or get close too 400 electoral votes? If Trump continues to tank his entire

campaign, it's not out of the question. At this point he has to be trolling the GOP.

That pretty much requires flipping Texas. Possible, but not likely unblock Oct 2016 #5

We're at least a couple of cycles away and even then need another reactionary idiot R candidate and/or local Latino D candidate to see a TX swing.

This, being a campaign that includes trump, means that anything is possible.

I have been waiting for trump to just flat out tell his supporters to only vote for him. To essentially punish the establishment candidates (i.e. gop).

He is probably threatening it "if" the gop doesn't roll over and spread. He may just decide to do it.

If that happens, the loss will be bigly. Not only downballot, but the gop mainliners will not vote for him in droves.
