As an absentee Georgia voter, I will certainly be voting for her. ....and what is really interesting is that I know of solid Georgia Republican voters that will be as well.....particularly women Republican voters.

Utah, Arizona, Missouri, and Georgia all could go to HRC. I wouldn't be
surprised if Texas is close too.

Trump has no real campaign staff to help GOTV or just to make calls
and raise money.

He doesn't have and won't understand a good GOTV infrastructure. As his polling continues to drop so will his ability to raise funds. And as he makes these outlandish statements, that only increases fundraising opportunities for Hillary.

.... taking a purple heart that he did not earn pisses off vets too.

After 2012 the GOP did a study that showed they needed more women,
latinos, and blacks if they wanted to win the White House again. However
Trump is toxic to those groups and add Mike Pence to that mix and you
lose the GLBT vote too.

1964 LBJ vs Goldwater race might be the case this year.
