After months of campaigning, the presidential race has come down to this: Democrat Hillary Clinton has several apparent paths to the White House, while Republican Donald Trump must sweep battleground states and seize at least one Democratic-leaning state, the Wall Street Journal reports.
For Mr. Trump to win, he must finish ahead of Mrs. Clinton in the battleground states of Florida, Ohio and, in most calculations, North Carolina, analysts from both parties said. His path to victory, far narrower than Mrs. Clintons, also requires a win in at least one state that has long been in the Democratic column.
Mr. Trumps chances are dim unless he can wrest away a state such as Michigan or Pennsylvania, where he campaigned Sunday, places that havent voted Republican in presidential races since 1988.

(37,428 posts)Time's running out, though. The race isn't going to be close enough for him to contest. How does he escape branding himself the official loser tomorrow night?
And why the fuck is he sticking it out? For just one more day of cheering crowds? For the fun of not conceding, so that MSM can pretend that would be significant? Without something to contest, his campaign will be over on Wednesday, and any more grandstanding can't come out of campaign dollars.
