Chuck Todd is pimping a "worst case for Clinton scenario" electoral college map

[lapucelle]

based on breathless speculation. His guests looked dumbfounded by the ridiculous and unlikely steps that he outlined to reach his conclusion.

1. What

Did he show ?

4. Although I'm not sure, I think it included every battle ground/toss up state except PA,

the blue states that seem soft, including those where Clinton made ad buys today, and the usual Republican map .

I stopped paying attention when Chuck pointed to a state and said, "Let's give it to Trump anyway."

3. What Chuck Todd's ridiculous excersise proved

is just how hard it is to get Trump to 270. Even if you use scenarios not backed by any numbers or evidence at all.

None of his guests bought it.


What it proves is the absolutely scary lengths the media will go to create a close race.

Chuck Todd is supposed to be the big bad numbers guy and political director. Yet he spends half his show literally in fantasy land to try to make Trump look viable.

Unreal

7. And he just let a former DEA guy spout off with a bunch of anti legaization pro drug war bullshit

without anyone to offer a counter opinion or Todd debating his bullshit points.

8. And an asteroid needs to destroy California and their EV's....

9. The "worst case" is still likely a Clinton win

If it were to come down to WI, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. I saw that map as rather encouraging.
