These three states are making a Trump win basically impossible
By Aaron Blake August 12 at 1:29 PM

Donald Trump's week of bad polls just got much worse.

Four new NBC News/Marist College polls released Friday show Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton leading her Republican rival by five points in Florida, nine points in North Carolina and double digits in Colorado (14) and Virginia (13). All four states have been battlegrounds in recent presidential elections.

And really, it's those last two numbers that show just how massively difficult Trump's path to the presidency is right now. Because without Colorado and Virginia — and a third state where he trails by double digits, Pennsylvania — he's all but sunk.

National polls have gone up and down, and a few this week even show Trump within striking distance of Clinton. But national polls aren't what matter; the Electoral College does. And the numbers in Colorado, Virginia and Pennsylvania are basically prohibitive for Trump right now.

It was so difficult understanding ahead of time that Trump was such a buffoon that he could never articulate a clear, principled message of freedom and conservatism that would eventually sway voters before the election.

Many foolish people thought Trump could carry a message and their faith in this clown has all but ensured President Hillary.
