From 538: There’s been a lot of talk about Clinton trailing in Michigan and Wisconsin. Pennsylvania may be a far bigger problem. Clinton is up by just 4 percentage points, and that lead is slipping as more of the vote comes in from outside the Philadelphia media market. Clinton cannot lose Pennsylvania and win the election.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?I honestly think that Pence is better than Trump, they are both equally awful on civil rights, domestic issues, and taxation but Trump is a threat to the post WW 2 order.

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!Clinton will not grab anything.
She has utterly failed to grab anything that wasn't 75% in her favor so far. She won't pull upsets at the eleventh hour. This will not happen.
Remember that assuming most of the Midwest goes Clinton - she can afford to lose one but not more of the key states there - she can still win by getting electoral college votes from Maine, Nebraska, or New Hampshire (which she'd have to win completely.)
If she loses Pennsylvania, though, she's out.
Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur.

North Carolina isn't done yet, remember there was the late voting that was done and was in Democrat areas.
