Ben Shapiro joked last night that we need to “get ready” for the 2020 “nightmare scenario” which involves a 269-269 electoral college tie with future Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi in charge of what comes next:
Get ready for the 2020 nightmare scenario: Trump wins WI, loses MI and PA, and loses all four votes in ME. 269-269 tie. Election thrown to the House, presided over by…Nancy Pelosi.

That’s pretty funny until you realize that — gulp — it’s a somewhat likely scenario based on what happened last night with Scott Walker’s close loss in Wisconsin coupled with big losses for the GOP in Michigan and Pennsylvania:
NEW: Democrats have swept the Senate and governor's races in the Rust Belt states that made Trump president: Wisconsin (Baldwin/Evers), Pennsylvania (Casey/Wolf), Michigan (Whitmer/Stabenow).
A warning sign for Trump in 2020.https://t.co/dMilRPOddJ

With Ohio and Florida looking to be in decent shape for Trump in 2020:
TRUMP showed his strength in Ohio and Florida in 2018. But the Clinton states plus PA MI WI, where he was just rebuked, would give them the presidency in 2020. A roadmap for the nominee?https://t.co/dMilRPOddJ

Gird your loins, GOP. The 2020 election is only 727 days away:
With Evers winning, Dems went 7 for 8 in Senate/gov races in MI, OH, PA, Wi —all states Trump won in 2016.
