Yes, Donald Trump can win. Here are 4 maps that prove it.

Even I did not say Trump could not win. I said improbable but not impossible.

Scenario 1 -- Trump must win N.C., N.H., and Colorado. The last "Poll of Polls" which takes into account the last 5 or so valid polls has Trump behind by 4 points in N.C. N.H. and Colorado polls are changing on a daily basis but are pretty much even.

Scenario 2 -- Almost impossible scenario for Trump to win.

Scenario 3 -- A tie and could happen. I can see Trump winning in Florida, Iowa, N.H., Nevada, and Ohio. In case of a tie, Trump wins.

Scenario 4 -- I just don't see Trump winning in Wisconsin.

So the way I see it is that Colorado, Florida and N.C. are the 3 states that could swing the election to either side. Colorado and Florida are a dead heat as of today. I don't see any new news coming out that will shift voters from 1 side to the other between today and next Tuesday. Should be interesting. Trump is still an underdog but certainly not out of it as it appeared to be about 2-3 weeks ago.

Yep. And she's leading in both.

The bigger question for my intellectually challenged OP -- what about the poll coming out on Tuesday? Will that "prove it" for you?

You want to wager 90 days of your life on it?

The latest polling shows that option 3 is the most likely (at this time) except they forgot to add Maine. You see Maine votes in two pieces and not winner take all. Trump is leading in part of Maine and if he wins then he gets one more electoral vote which would give him 270 and the win. If that didn't happen and there was a tie, the election goes to the House of Representatives and they choose among the top two vote getters. Guess who wins then?

The second thing is despite running a bad campaign Trump is getting help from the email scandal. Despite being not liked Clinton was not going to lose to Sanders or O'Malley in the democratic primary.

Nice side bet.

It is worth it to me to keep your continual SPAM off the board.

Whaddya say?. I take 90 if Johnson wins New Mexico. You take 90 if he doesn't.
