Chris Cillizza Of The Washington Post Gives Us a Useful Reminder About The Electoral College

++The Democrats have had states who voted their way the last 6 elections, including Washington D.C. They total 242 electoral votes. 

++Today a private business group polled Florida and found that Hillary Clinton beats Trump by 13. That gives her 271 electoral votes. Game,Set, Match.

++The Republicans start off with the states they won for the last six elections and they total 102.

++Cillizza harks back to the GOP's perennial problem of winning over non-white voters. And says that the GOP can't just blame Donald Trump for a devastating loss in the fall.  It was written in the demographics and the failure at GOP outreach.

++So you'll see the Reuters poll today where Trump beats Hillary or Rasmussen rising his ugly head. But it is the electoral college.
