I find these what-ifs a bit odd. Sure it's interesting, but if those states borders weren't where they are, surely Trump would have noticed and adjusted his strategy accordingly. It not like one thing could have been different and not affected anything else at all.

The thing I find more telling is that Clinton spent well over twice what Trump did on the election [0]. If Clinton had that much of an advantage and still lost, then I think the democrats could have run almost anyone else and had a tighter race.
