A Bernie v Trump electoral college map could have all sorts of changes.
You're right, Florida is lost, NC is lost, Arizona and Nevada are gone, states that have gone reliably blue like Virginia, Colorado, and New Mexico are suddenly back in play. The rust belt is probably locked up, but that is really the only gain.
