a few months back i watched video of election night, 1980. i was surprised that the broadcast (nbc?) literally started with the anchor saying something like "we believe ronald reagan will win a very substantial victory tonight" (which he did). while it's in the media's interested to string people along as much as possible about the outcome, it's very likely trump could get close to reagan's historic defeat of carter. it could happen.  from today: electoral college map projector flips three swing states to donald trump   college-map-projector-flips-three-s wing-states-donald-trump-1969120
