Hey, I'm from Brooklyn. I'm going to call myself Mr. Friendly.

Just about 90 days left in this election and I think it's time we embarrassed ourselves with outlandish predictions.

Prizes:

Grand Prize: One forums upgrade on me, and one avatar of your choosing for another lucky goon

Runner Up: Forums Upgrade

Saddest Map: A new Avatar of my choosing

Rules:

Show us what you think the electoral map will look like for the 2016 Presidential Election. 270towin.com is what I'd recommend for making your map, but if anyone has any other suggestions feel free. Please screen cap your maps and post them as an image, I've had problems with linking to 270towin in the past. No repeats, everyone's map must be different.

The winner we be chosen by whoever gets the closest to the victor's Electoral Votes without going over. Ties will be decided by accuracy of the actual map. Good luck, have fun, post maps.

My entry:



I'm expecting the race to stabilize a bit after Trump's no good very bad week. Still I think Hillary can squeak out AZ from the republican column.

(there's a bug for Nebraska on my map - that's a 4-1 split to Trump, but the map is showing it as blue. The count and bottom-right indicators are right.)

We don't need to have that dialogue because it's obvious, trivial, and has already been had a thousand times.
Going all in.



I'm guessing the media blitz and one of the ongoing criminal investigations will reveal something so odious that Trump is forcibly removed from the campaign, one way or another. Third party voters will try and fail too get enough leeway to get an EV in one of the split states.

True, I guess that's not really a safe prediction. But the polling in UT has been baaaaaad for Trump, but I'm not crazy enough to give it to Johnson.

Edit: plus electoral vote-wise, it might be closer enough if it's not exactly accurate.

I don't know how to do fancy non-binary colors but since this dream team poo poo Utah feels the Johnson and AZ is a 'battleground' between Trump and Hillary that's super hard to call.

I'll just go with the conservative/safe pick, she will probably win by more but this is still fairly likely IMO.

ok here is my "total trump collapse" map.

premise: trump does something somehow worse than what he's already done that alienates not only the entire GOP leadership, but the actual conservative base. most GOP leaders pull endorsements (including mike pence who resigns from ticket) and many even endorse Gary Johnson. only the hardest core trumpers stick with him, with almost all western conservatives going to gary and the rest of the GOP split pretty evenly giving many otherwise deep red states to the dems



this isn't my Official Guess just me being a nerd

The Scenario: Trump continues to go off the crazy end even more so. GOP Establishment turns on him and endorses and throws their machine behind Gary Johnson in order to try to save face for the downballot. This fractures the Right Vote so bad that Hillary landslides, and Trump ends up losing so bad that he's beaten by a third party candidate in EVs.
