I'm doing some research for a Bernie Sanders timeline I'm working on, and was wondering what a 12 point win over Donald Trump would look like?

How early do you think the election would be called in this scenario?

12 points is a massive lead, that would make a pretty crazy map:



The election would be called as soon as Florida and Pennsylvania are confirmed D, probably a few hours after the polls closed.

I was thinking something along the lines of this:

Bernie Sanders (D-VT): 394 EVs
Donald Trump (R-NY): 144 EVs

What's the reasoning behind him taking SC?

Let's say you're watching CNN the night of this Sanders landslide. Do you think the map could reasonably look something like this at around 9:25? Then at 9:30 CNN calls IN + GA for Sanders and SC for Trump.



If not, how do you think it would go down? I'm trying to gauge what time they would call the election for Sanders in a landslide scenario.

NE-2: D+4
AZ: D+2
GA: R+2
MO: R+6
IN: R+7
SC: R+9
TX: R+11
KS: R+11

final map


closest states:
GA: D+4
MT: D+4
MO: D+2
IN: D+1
AK: D+0
TX: R+2
KS: R+3

I'm going to go with this in my timeline. Thanks for the input. If anyone's interested in contributing to my timeline just PM me.

It's going to be about a transformative Sander's Presidency.
