it'll definitely clip Trump's wings a bit.

We'd also be winning by a nice large margin in the House at that point.

I expect Ohio and Texas to be the tipping point states. Alaska, NC, and ME will be Democratic. GA, MI, and NH will be held.

If we win in Nebraska, Montana, or Iowa it'll be a lovely evening.
