A new memo released by Donald Trump's campaign shows how his team hopes to compete in toss-up battleground states in the waning weeks of the 2016 election. But the Trump team's battleground map is far more optimistic than assessments by almost all outside experts, including NBC News.

Trump's campaign lists a total of 12 tossup states: Nevada, Colorado, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire and Maine.

By that assessment, Trump's team says they have 191 electoral votes, compared to 197 for Clinton and 150 in the toss-up column.

In a memo to supporters, campaign manager Kellyanne Conway wrote that polls over the last month have shown Trump's campaign leading in six of those states: Iowa, Ohio, Maine, Florida, Nevada and North Carolina.
