Even that outcome isn't terrible for Trump, since that means there's way more volatility relative to the polls than previous results from the night. Problem is that every swing state he loses makes him much less likely to win. But if VA goes Trump that does open up a lot of paths to victory. In any case, the landslide is dead. | ||

If that happens then he needs to win Michigan to give himself a chance and then hope that VA stays red and if that happens then he can win with a sweep. Otherwise he has no path to victory. | ||

She needs to close a 200k vote gap. That is a near unfixable gap with what is left. I expect them to call it shortly. | ||

Otherwise he has no path to victory. His path to victory is to win Ohio, Florida, NC, and MI/VA/WI/CO/PA... He will at worst be within 1-1.5% of doing that, imo. Insanely close. Predictable that Trump is overperforming polls, though I must admit I'm quite impressed with the polling accuracy, I thought it'd be way different. | ||
