- Electoral Map Is a Reality Check to Trump’s Bid I've kept the presidential election out of these round-ups, because there's been more than enough coverage elsewhere. However, this pretty much sums up my feelings about where things stand now. I do not think Trump stands a chance to win the presidency. However, I do hope he gets the Republican nomination. I think it would give the Democrats a good chance to take back the Senate, and an outside chance of taking back the House also.
