I think that whatever hopes she had in NC went up in smoke with the BLM riots in Charlotte.
NC was NEVER in play, that’s one of the many attempts at self fulfilling prophecies by the Media....
Simple reality... and it was from day one.. Hillary would underperform Obama... PERIOD. If Obama didn’t get a state in 12, Hillary had ZERO shot at it. NC was NEVER in play.
Few more fundamental realities: Ohio and IA were NEVER in play... nor was any RED state that they claimed they could turn. Hillary never had a shot at holding all Obama’s states from 12... NEVER.... her only hope was to hold enough of them to win.
The entire election cycle was a LIE from the elite and the media... they were unwilling to be honest about the most obvious and basics fundamental facts... and that’s the only reason anyone ever though Trump didn’t have a shot to win. Reality was, Trump has the greater shot to win this thing from the day the candidates were selected. Hillary, from that moment forward, was ALWAYS the long shot.
Hillary’s only shot at winning was squeaker, holding onto enough swing states to eek it out.. that was it.... and had it been any other Republican she may just have managed it... but she was ALWAYS a low probability for the win, and never had any shot at NC, IA or OH.... those states were lost before the race even began.
