Trump has to replicate his 2016 numbers to have a chance of winning.

I remember in 2016 he tweeted Trump had the big mo and Clinton was fading with a bunch of undecideds sitting on the sidelines. Freaked me out and I was mad at him. I only say this to point out this guy is a pro and calls balls and strikes
