No he doesn’t need it to win,but Hillary has path without it.
I was hoping Trump would be doing better in NY than he has been... I know he will outperform his polling no doubt but by 20+ points? Doubtful.
I don’t know what if anything is going on in the ground game in NY, I figure Trump and surrogates would be running hard there, so maybe they are and it’s just not making news outside the city. Hillary is a corrupt carpet bagger part of the system the keeps the wealthy wealthy and the average folks down... The corruption on Wall Street etc...
Debated may help him break open there but honestly if he’s 20 points down he won’t outperform polling by that much. Single digits certainly could mean upset 20-30? No.. He need to move that needle and shocked that he hasn’t.
I am not counting my chickens in NY state win. Even PA will be difficult. Better chance in mid-western rust belt for Trump.
