Can a Republican Win 270 Electoral Votes in 2016...or Ever?

An inconvenient truth:

After totaling the electoral votes in all the terminally blue states, an inconvenient math emerges, providing even a below average Democrat presidential candidate a potential starting advantage of 246. Here are the states and their votes:

CA (55), NY (29), PA (20), IL (20), MI (16), NJ (14), WA (12), MA (11), MN (10), WI (10), MD (10), CT (7), OR (7), HI (4), ME (4), NH (4), RT (4), VT (3), DE (3), DC (3).

Let me repeat, if only for the shock value: 246 votes out of 270 is 91 percent. That means the Democrat candidate needs to win only 24 more votes out of the remaining 292. (There are a total of 538 electoral votes.)

Republicans need to change their message. In my opinion they've done a poor job responding to the changing demographics of America. Republicans are selling buggy whips to a motorized population.

IMHO.....the dumbed down American voters will probably elect the Radical Clinton.......almost a given. The goal is to expand control of the house and control the Senate (that starts 2014.)

A "Swift Boat" asctin is in full motion (and $$$$) to make Slick's spouse pay for Bengahzi......that could be her biggest problem.....we killed Kerry's bid.....pay attention.

I had way too much good European brews......my taste buds really see USA Horsepiss as water....the craft brewers are getting better....



Hillary will win 2016.......unless she cannot fend off the SEALS in Imperial Beach (Salty Frog crowd)...do not underestimate the SEALS.....
