And polling looks promising in Georgia, though that would be a stretch. Plus, forcing the GOP to expend resources defending formerly safe states is a bonus in and of itself.

Abortion at 19 months? Is that a new adoption program for toddlers, 'cause that shit would pass in a heartbeat.

There are 19 states (and DC) that have voted Democratic in every Presidential election since 1992. Those 19 states total 242 EVs.

If Hillary wins those 19 states - and there's no reason to think she won't - she'll only need another 29 EVs to win the Presidency.

And the ones she wins are bigger states.

There have been primary contests in 23 of the states that Obama won in 2012. Sanders has won 11, Clinton 12. And the states won by Sanders represent only 83 electoral votes. The ones won by Clinton represent more than twice that amount: 172.
