That could work against him this go round, as he's taken a mallet to a few of his groups that make up big voters in some states. Farmers, for one. Flip a couple of those fly over states and give the usuals to the Dems and he could win the popular but lose the EC. Which would be hilarious.

Yeah, it would be fairly hilarious because of how Trump hated the EC before he got elected by it and how much he suddenly liked it after. Meanwhile we'd get  to watch Democrats in another Comey situation where they would cheer that they won the election, almost certainly ignoring how they railed against the EC and for a straight popular when they lost it.

There'd be so much flip flopping from both sides it would be like looking at a lake full of fish if the water suddenly vanished.

I'm just hoping that the Democrat who wins the primary will settle down a little bit on the race-to-the-left and then maybe I can vote for them. I am happy going Weld in the primary, but not-Trump is as far as I have gotten with who I will vote for in the general election.

I think depending on who he chooses as his VP, I could see Ohio go back to blue for Biden. I think Bernie is a non-starter for Ohio, and not sure how the rest would fare. Just laughed at the idea that polls say no matter who wins the primary, they win.

(Also weird to say he "only" won last time because of the electoral college when that's the only method of winning available. Like "only" winning a football game because you scored more points while the other team gained more yards.)
