Together they add up to 242 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House.A new general-election poll of a Clinton-Trump matchup shows Clinton ahead by 13 points in Florida, a state with 29 electoral votes. A simple sum shows 242 + 29 = 271. Game over."
This means for Trump to win he either needs to take some democrat strong states away from Hillary or he will basically have to win all of the battleground states. Neither are easy prospects.
So far nothing has gone as expected with this election so there is no reason to think that things can't change and strange things can't happen, but it is pretty clear, if Trump wants to win he has a major uphill climb ahead of him.

What this means basically is there aren't nearly enough, angry, bigoted whites to put Trump in office. It looks like there's enough while inside the Republican primary bubble, but I have faith there's a lot more people who are feeling ok about the economy, and actually have half a brain to not vote for that orange haired ego-maniac con artist.
