In the swing states that matter most in the presidential race, Donald
Trump doesn’t have a prayer against Hillary Clinton in the general election.

That’s according to top operatives, strategists and activists in 10
battleground states who participated in this week’s POLITICO Caucus.
Nearly 90 percent of them said Clinton would defeat Trump in their home
states in a November match-up.

Republicans are only slightly more bullish on Trump’s prospects than
Democrats: More than three-quarters of GOP insiders expect Clinton to
best the Republican front-runner in a general-election contest in their
respective states. Among Democrats, the belief is nearly universal: 99
percent of surveyed said will Clinton will beat Trump.

In three of the biggest swing states—Ohio, Pennsylvania and
Florida—Republicans were particularly downbeat about the prospect of a
Trump-Clinton contest.

“There is positively no way for Trump to win in Pennsylvania,” said a
Republican from that state.

“Trump cannot and will not carry Ohio,” a Republican from that state
insisted. “He will do well in Appalachia and in the Mahoning Valley but
he will get killed in the rest of the state. The danger for the GOP is
losing Rob Portman which is a very real possibility under this match-up.”

Added a Florida Republican, who like all participants was granted
anonymity in order to speak freely, “Trump is grinding the GOP to a
stub. He couldn't find enough xenophobic, angry white Floridians to beat
Hillary in Florida if he tried.”
