When has a candidate been elected President when his own party does not back him?
If you don't see the point being made then I'm going to have to assume it's deliberate because it's pretty clear. However, I'll explain further. You made the point that voters generally stick to party regardless of the nominee, i.e. red states will stay red and blue states will stay blue. That being the case the general will come down to, as it always does of late, to a few swing states. I illustrated how I think Trump can claim more of the swing states than Hillary and I further explained why I tend to think this.

I agree about VA and stated so in my post. I think Trump wins OH, NC, FL, and possibly IO and MI as well. If he could flip Michigan, which I think he'd have a strong chance to do for reasons already stated, he could easily win the GE.
