............it looks like it's Pennsylvania. I used to think Ohio and Florida were the key to winning any Presidential election, but I've seen models where Hillary loses both Ohio and Florida and still wins (she does this because she wins Pennsylvania and Virginia). So since she can win WITHOUT Ohio and Florida (and Drumpf can't win UNLESS he wins BOTH Ohio and Florida), that leaves Pennsylvania and Virginia. Virginia is highly unlikely, since Tim Kaine is from there. That leaves Pennsylvania, which is also highly unlikely because it's been reliably blue for a LONG time, and he's way behind in the polls there. Realistically, Drumpf has no chance.
