Trump also vowed he would win the state of Illinois, which hasn’t gone Republican in a presidential election since 1988 and which Obama won by 25 and 17 points, the Post reports:
Trump also called out Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), who withdrew his endorsement of Trump last month citing the business mogul’s racially-based attacks on a federal judge, and said he did not approve of the senator’s action, said the officials.
Characterizing Kirk as a loser, Trump vowed that he would carry Illinois in the general election even though the state traditionally has been solidly Democratic in presidential contests. Kirk did not attend the meeting with Trump.
There are, I believe, 8 states which have voted for the Democrat Presidential candidate for the last six elections. Their electoral total is 245, so, assuming they vote they way they have for the last 1/4 century or so, Hillary just needs 27 elsewhere. If you think Rump, who has the highest negatives in HISTORY, is taking any of those states, you're even dumber than I thought you were, which is saying something. They played a montage of about 6 Repubs-including Ryan-who couldn't even bring themselves to say his NAME, fer crissakes: every one said something to the effect, I pledged to back the nominee of my party, and I will do so. This culminated in Walker's "ringing" endorsement:

"The last two weeks have shown that while Trump is able to pick up a few supporters, he’s not making serious inroads among the holdouts who have so far refused to back him. Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s July 6 announcement that he’s backing Trump is an outlier, and even that is almost comedically tepid—he
didn’t deign to use Trump’s name in a tweet. Meanwhile, there’s been a steady list of prominent conservatives coming out against him. One pattern that emerges is that the people backing Trump tend to be non-elected officials, some of them retired and others in politics-adjacent fields, like leaders of conservative Christian groups. Among officeholders, however, Trump is losing ground or stuck in neutral—perhaps an indication of how electorally toxic he is, or perhaps a reflection of deep misgivings about the lack of organization and fundraising on his campaign so far."

Last August, I said I'd support the GOP nominee. It's now clear who the RNC delegates will vote to nominate. And he is better than she is.
