Realistically, the Republicans have just north of a 0% chance of winning if Hillary runs. The women vote would be enough to seal the deal right there.
Add in that there is no credible republicans that are remotely sellable (give me a break on Rand Paul/Ted Cruz/Bush III) and they have to do whatever is possible to slam Hillary.
In the past 6 elections these states went for the dems
Washington
Oregon
California
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Illinois
Michigan
Pennsylvania
New York
Vermont
Maine
Rhode Island
Connecticut
New Jersey
Delaware
Maryland
Hawaii
DC
If we tally those based off 2012 EC - That's 238 Electoral votes that seem to be Dem locks.
New Hampshire went dem 5 of 6, only Bush in 00
New Mexico and Iowa also went dem 5/6 Bush in 04 being the exception
Add in 15 for those 3 very likely dem takes and they are up to 253. They only need 18 more to get the White House.
In the past, these states have gone Dem more than once
Nevada (Obama X2, Clinton X2)
Colorado (Obama X2, Clinton 92)
Ohio (Obama X2, Clinton X2)
Virginia (Obama X2)
Florida (Obama X2, Clinton 96)
Indiana (Obama 08)
N. Carolina (Obama 08)
Nevada + Colorado + New Mexico does that, As would Ohio or Florida. Virginia or NC + 1 of the smaller ones works as well.
Basically the Republicans are screwed.
