Plus, rumor has it that Philly folks have cars.
Who knew?

Where has anyone actually said Clinton will win those states? I certainly never factored them in.

They were never factored in. I've never heard anyone mention South Carolina as even a possibility.
Georgia and Texas are occasionally mentioned as having a smaller margin than expected, but I don't believe they have ever been in Clinton's column.
North Carolina, Nevada, Florida, New Hampshire... these are the ones on the cusp.

Inner city in Philly are mostly low income, fewer cars per capita.
But like many urban areas, turnout wasn't going to be anywhere near BO levels, more like Al Gore "ho hum" levels. This strike decrease it more.
RCP shows Trump with a larger avg margin in Ohio than HRC in Pa.

Liberals are ALWAYS going on about how Georgia is a swing state and how South Carolina and Texas will turn blue in the next few elections.

It's all about the turn out.
The polls are pretty much meaningless at this point
the battleground states will be close
Aa turnout is down and for at least this election the Hispanic vote won't make up the difference.
Then there's the sanders supporters who are either sitting this out or voting 3rd party.
Prediction :
269
269
On the other hand if it breaks big it's likely to go trump way.
