Red States = Republican won Blue States = Democrat won Teal States = To close to call Here is my explanation of how the electoral college works: The president with the most delegates wins, not the one with the most votes. If the majority of a state votes for a republican candidate, then all of it's delegates go the republican candidate. If the majority of a state votes for a democratic candidate, then all of it's delegates go to the democratic candidate. Some cities, such as California and New York are worth more delegates than states like New Hampshire and Rhode Island because they have more votes. | Here is my explanation of how there are more red states, but Hillary won the popular vote: Hillary won the popular vote, because she won all of the states with more people in them, like Illinois and Oregon. Trump won more states, but he won less people then Hillary. |
Here is my explanation to why Illinois is traditionally a democratic state: Illinois is home to Chicago, which is a big city, and big cities are generally left leaning, because they are more complex the rural areas, and they want a government that interferes, and keeps things under control.
- Donald Trump's plan for America ( information from https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ )

- Ensure the rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so much that it destroys jobs or undermines our ability to compete.
- Eliminate special interest loopholes, make our business tax rate more competitive to keep jobs in America, create new opportunities and revitalize our economy.
- Reduce the cost of childcare by allowing families to fully deduct the average cost of childcare from their taxes, including stay-at-home parents.

- Establish new immigration controls to boost wages and to ensure that open jobs are offered to American workers first.
- Protect the economic well-being of the lawful immigrants already living here by curbing uncontrolled foreign worker admissions
- Select immigrants based on their likelihood of success in the U.S. and their ability to be financially self-sufficient.
- Repeal and replace Obamacare with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).

- Work with states to establish high-risk pools to ensure access to coverage for individuals who have not maintained continuous coverage.
- Allow people to purchase insurance across state lines, in all 50 states, creating a dynamic market.
- Maximize flexibility for states via block grants so that local leaders can design innovative Medicaid programs that will better serve their low-income citizens.

- Reform policies with a pro-growth tax plan, a new modern regulatory framework, an America-First trade policy, an unleashed American energy plan, and the “penny plan.”
