49. Seriously?
It's really amazing how people who keep citing "the math" when it comes to delegates can't understand math when it comes to adding electoral votes.

It would be a big accomplishment if he were able to flip any of those states you mentioned. A HUGE accomplishment to flip Virginia or Missouri.

But let's say he does it all. He pulls off an unprecedented win, winning Colorado, Virginia, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, and Iowa. Thats 50 electoral votes.

Guess what. FL, PA, and OH are 68 electoral votes. I don't even know what else there is to say. He can win every single one of those states, ranging from republican leaning to strong republican, and still not even equal the electoral votes of FL, PA, and OH. If you step back into reality and realize he will probably only win 10-15 electoral votes out of those 6 states you mentioned, while simultaneously losing in at least 2 of FL, PA, and OH, a win is mathematically impossible.
