Trump will not win. As close as the networks are painting it, the lowball figures for Clinton still have her in the position of only needing a little help. She will be closer to 300 or over. Those whom have her at 258 sill would include the alleged tossups which she will win the majority of. But when the dust settles it will not be as close as Republicans and Trump would have one believe now.
The polls for Obama against Romney were also seemingly razor thin and he got 332 to Romney's 206. Clinton may get fewer but Trump will not do as well as Romney either. But no, she wont simply win 272 or 278, she will get more than that and closer to 300 if not over.
Trump is doing better than Romeny in some states yes, but not where it counts, but mainly in already deeply red states. And again, the survey taken in Fla about 28% of republican women early voters flipping to Clinton does not bode well for Trump nationally.
My only concern now is the lower the gap the more desperate the GOP will be to use those same tactics in 4 years.
