It's going to be difficult. Because even if Trump wins the popular vote in any given State, he has to convince each of those states' electoral college voters to also vote for him. Those electoral college members are not bound to vote for the candidate who wins the popular vote. For example, California has 55 electoral college member slots. They are not bound to vote for Trump, even if he wins the popular vote in California.
And the electoral college is comprised of party members, who are appointed by their respective political parties. So if Trump wins a state as a GOP candidate, he also has to convince the GOP established party in those States he wins to also vote for him...the same party his is pissing off right now. |
