Hillary Clinton's Path to Victory

So I'm checking out the interactive electoral map at 270towin.com and Hillary's path is clear. She can lose Florida and Ohio and still win. She'd have to take Virginia, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Nevada and ONE of these 3 remaining states...either Wisconsin, Iowa or North Carolina. Her easiest win would come from Wisconsin in this hypothetical scenario...that would put her at 279. This is assuming Trump doesn't lose a red state like Georgia. There's no path to victory for Trump if he loses a long-time red state or Florida. He needs FL and likely OH to stay competitive. A loss in either of those states losses him the election most likely. Same thing goes for North Carolina. I don't see him winning Colorado or New Hampshire at all. Those aren't true toss-up states IMHO. Nevada is tight, but I'm hoping the non-White vote comes out strong there since Hillary's lead there is small according to the polling.

Hillary's path to victory is easier than Trumps and if the polls stay the way they are...she'll definitely pick off one or two purple or red states from Trump.
