I was playing around with 270towin.com and came up with this:

So do you think the GOP House would actually vote Trump in? Or would they leverage it out to have the Senate pick a VP to give Hillary headaches?

They know they have a partisan duty to support the GOP candidate, but many of them have to know Trump is unfit for the presidency.

Trump has pissed off John Kasick so much who is loved by Repugs in Ohio that they will cost trump the election. And that is before even studying the other states.

I think Nevada is much more vulnerable to Trump (but won't be enough if Hillary holds Wisconsin and everything else remains as you have it)

I think it's to far away to worry too much.

When I went state by state and gave all states where Hillary was +3 or more, she won the EV handily with a number of toss ups/closer states undecided

She's in good shape if the GOP do not successfully swiftboat her on the Clinton Foundation or something like that.

Trump seems to be in self destruct mode - better that he destroys himself now than the country after November.
