If he wins the popular vote, he will have the YUGEST ELECTORAL LANDSLIDE IN HISTORY. TRUMP WILL REMIND US, AND LIBS, OF THIS EVERY SINGLE DAY OF HIS SECOND TERM. LOL

The real kicker? A bunch of states have signed on to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. If Trump wins the popular vote, he'll carry the entire West Coast (including Hawaii), plus Colorado, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, New York, and the bulk of New England's ECs. Even being super-generous and letting the Dems hold on to MN in the case of a Trump landslide, look at what the NPV compact could do to the map.



(NPV states in light red.)

I would expect that if the election starts looking like a blowout, you'll see an awful lot of blue state assemblies scrambling to see who can pull out of the compact the fastest. Failing that, some well-financed moderate Dem or NeverTrumper might just jump in, in an effort to deny Trump a popular majority.
