leave nothing to chance. i don't think it will happen but if trump were to flip a blue state it could change everything. expanding the map is a great idea in theory but unfortunately a candidate like trump is far too dangerous to risk letting a state we should win slip away.

Candidate time during the final week is spent only where it is needed to win, not where padding or reassurances are wanted.
