An electability test that you can apply to any Democratic candidate. [View all]

Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3,000,000 votes and lost MI. WI. and PA by a mere 70,000 votes and with it the Electoral College. The question than becomes what candidate will do better with the various groups that comprise the electorate and which group will he or she do worse. Given the small number of votes our candidate needs to make up most of them are in a strong position.

Here's the tipping states, imo, in order of difficulty or ease, depending on your perspective:

PA
MI
WI
FL
NC
AZ
GA




TX
