Senior Trump campaign official: "We are clearly in a corner here"

From CNN's Sarah Westwood

Despite the confidence the Trump campaign projected in a call with reporters this morning, not everyone was feeling optimistic waking up on Wednesday as President Trump’s pathway appeared to narrow.

“We are clearly in a corner here,” one senior official said.

But the official cautioned that the campaign is not yet out of the game, and campaign officials have continued to claim both publicly and privately that they think they have shot if they can get Arizona and Nevada into their column.

That looked unlikely in the case of Arizona heading into the early hours of the morning, but the campaign’s internal math was better than public polling in several places and so that’s given them hope that their projections in this case could be more accurate than projections that show Biden taking the state.

1. Being better than polls is one thing

But this is now about mail in vote and you'd have to believe that Republicans just swamped the last day of mail in voting in AZ and NV to believe either flips
Possible but unlikely.

2. No, you've gone over the cliff

But keep repeating every 50 feet you plumment: So far so good. It's that sudden stop at the end that really gets you.

6. I'd like to see those internals. Something feels hinky about AZ.

The way the trump campaign freaked out when fox and ap called AZ for Biden made me wonder what they're up to.

7. "Internal math"
