We've spent a lot of time talking about Florida recently because it has the most electoral votes of Trump's must-wins and because it has been the closest race of the three. If Trump loses Florida? Done. Over. President Clinton, once again. But if Trump wins Florida? It doesn't mean President Trump.

This is important because Clinton holding North Carolina makes Trump's path to 270 electoral votes much, much harder.

If Clinton wins North Carolina, Trump's 259 electoral votes from the everything-goes-right scenario fall to 244 electoral votes. That means he probably needs to win at least three other states that aren't currently in his column to win the election.

He's unlikely to pick them up elsewhere in the Rust Belt

You shouldn't post this. I'm hoping for a 2012 replay where Trump supporters are absolutely certain of their victory and then, boom! The crushing blow.

Not a Hillary supporter but I see this as the most likely scenario next week. Hillary will probably barely carry Florida at the end of the day and probably North Carolina as well. I can see Trump winning the other battleground states though. I definitely don't see him pulling off some miracle like taking Pennsylvania or Michigan or something like that. Just not going to happen. So that's why I'm still pretty certain Hillary will win at the end of the day.

We heard you dems saying it was over two weeks ago, and look what happened.

Hillary has been dropping in the polls for the last two weeks.

Trumps is up, or competitive in enough swing states that he has a very good chance of winning.

I will congratulate you and all the other trump supporters on here if you're right. Unlikely though!

NC and FL are key, no question, but Trump has a great shot in both. It's not like they are MI or PA which would be more surprising.

I am In the i4 corridor. I am hoping all those old republican snowbirds got up at 6 am drank their coffee, put in their teeth, and hit the early polling places before their golf game this week. -and the are alllll done . What transplanted for the elections is done. Traffic has been horrendous today, I hope that means - like I don't want to Drive in it, they do not either. The Canadians are here now and next Friday is a holiday so more Tourists. So stay safe little people stay home.
Now true natives the silent majority can go vote . See the 2 hrs lines in others states, old folks, you can't stand in the hot Fl sun that long,,, you will get a stroke !
