The "red states" are not enough to get to 270. You have to win some of the swing states. Hilary only needs to win the blue states and enough of the swing states.
I don't necessarily agree with you that she can't win any red states though. The Black + Hispanic vote is 50% in Texas. I wonder how Trump can win this state when Blacks love Hillary Clinton and Hispanics hate Trump. There has been talk for awhile of the Texas demographics forcing the state blue. And if Texas goes blue, it's all over. Your boy Trump could be the one to make it happen.
There was an article in today's Austin American-Statesman about a surge in citizenship applications from legal migrants who want to vote to ensure that Trump faces stiffer opposition.
