Trump 320

2016 plus MN and NH

Trump with 2016 map. Perhaps you could add MN or minus MI from that. 290-316 for Trump.

Overrated candidate electorally in hindsight.

2020 map without Georgia but with ME-2.

2012 map minus FL, OH, and IA.

2020 map without Georgia but with ME-2.

I'd give Bernie (and most Ds) North Carolina before I'd give them Florida.

Bernie would absolutely not win AZ, NC, NE-02 (not even a question given the huge discrepancy there between Biden and the Berniecrat’s performance), or IA. Probably would not win PA or WI, 50/50 if he wins MI, slightly better chance of winning NV but not guaranteed.

He loses ultimately, regardless of what states he holds on to exactly. Trump would win Florida by high single digits and quite possibly win Miami-Dade county outright. Ohio, Alaska, and Utah() would also not be close.

It’s frankly delusional to still think Bernie would have won, let alone that he would have won multiple states he was destroyed in the primaries (let alone the ones he also lost in 2016) and was a terrible fit for. The idea that he would have done BETTER than Biden is just LOL.

Wait you are talking about 2020? Well that makes sense that Bernie wouldn’t do as well as Biden but NE-02 was going to flip with anyone, it was too big of a margin for Trump to overcome.

As for my answer to the thread question which was related to 2016, I think Bernie pulls of MI, WI and PA due to his eons better wwc appeal than Hillary, some states like VA or CO would probably be closer but probably still go blue. Ohio would have been very close but Bernie probably loses by a point or two to Trump in 2016, although he definitely would have beat Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio there.

Bernie would lose, probably worse than Clinton
