Electoral-vote for POTUS: HRC 353, Conman 179, only 6 tied electoral votes left

2 nights ago Steve Kornacki ( covering for Rachel's vacation) used the term landslide.

Blue: Fla, Az, GA, NV Ohio, PA.

Barely pink: NC and Mississippi.

Indiana, Missouri and Kansas and Texas are just pink, not red!

I doubt the Clinton Foundation story matters with numbers like these.

Can Clinton break 365? I doubt we're looking at a Reagan/ Mondale but 350+ looks doable.

Donald Trump, under these circumstances, would not hold North Carolina while Hillary Clinton flips both Georgia and Arizona. Iowa—which has been the subject of strange polls which does not comport with reality—would be safely in Hillary Clinton’s column. Nebraska #02 (Omaha) would also become a Democratic pickup. So, the 332 electoral votes, from Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election map of 26 states (plus District of Columbia), would move up to 29 states, plus a congressional district and D.C., for 375 electoral votes. And, based on how Donald Trump is performing, and that it can get worse for him, I don’t this is Hillary Clinton’s ceiling.
