or do you think michigan becomes a battleground state? >> i think the 2012 map will be the foundation for where these races will play out. i do think that michigan, we had an artificial boost in 2012 because of how weak that specific candidate was for that state. as you remember the auto bailout. some of the statements that mitt romney made even though his father was governor there almost disqualified immediately in michigan. michigan should be a closer state. i suspect in 2016 it will be. >> that is interesting. i had not thought of that. so you think he actually ran below essentially generic republican in michigan, mitt romney, mostly because of the auto bailout thing? >> yeah, if you look at what's happened in the legislature in michigan, the governor, given what's happened in flint, that may change. but it's a state that should be much closer than it has been in presidentials. >> let's look -- the clearest path seems to me of a trump victory would be all romney states plus what? >> well, you can look at pennsylvania. and pennsylvania
