re: #100 EPR-radar

Mondale carried only MN and DC, with 40.6% of the national popular vote.

This GOP richly deserves a 50 state wipeout with less than 30% of the national popular vote in 2016.

Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem at all likely. With the increasing polarization of the electorate, I don’t think it is possible for either party to see the kind of crushing result we had in 1984. A GOP tea/party split could cause them to lose really big, but I just don’t see how they get annihilated as badly as they need to be in a two-way race.

True. President Obama has already proven you no longer need the South to win the White House. The South will end up isolated, Teahadistan, if you will. A de facto secession of sorts, though not a de jure one.
