Reality, no one. The electoral college is too far gone now. The Democrats have 40% of the votes they need by winning three states (CA, IL and NY). Those are automatics. Throw in FL and OH, which are near automatic now, and you have statistically almost no chance of a GOP president.
I am of the mindset that the GOP WH ship has sailed.
The electoral college is actually a huge saving grace for Republicans - it forces the Democrats to spread their assets. If we ever went to the popular vote, the Dems could easily set up shop in the top 15 populace cities in America and just hammer the GOTV. Think of how many unmined African American/hispanic votes there are in the NYC, Chicago, LA because the Dems don't sweat the GOTV there - those states are arleady safely blue. Ditto for Dallas, Houston, New Orleans (where the states are safely red - no need to mine all those Dem votes). It would be an unmitigated disaster for the Republicans.
Further, your assertion that FL and OH are "near automatic" for the Democrats now is retarded.

I beg to differ with you here, the numbers of Demacrat voters would increase without a doubt but The republican would be able to pick up tens of millions of votes from the more populated states where they get none currently. More people voted republican in CA in the last election than live in the state of LA. The electoral college protects the Dems right now.
