This is where a ground game can make a difference and sounds like Trump has a really good one this election cycle.

If I'm closing out

I'd hit Arizona and New Mexico to hit them. Then go to Colorado and Nevada tomorrow.

Then go back to the North and get Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa, and Penn in a three day hit

Then finish off down South in Georgia, NC, then hit multiple spots in Florida(especially South Florida because of the latino vote there).

I'll never forget in the closing days of 2016 when he hit states like NM, VA, and MI and I remember reading blue checks on Twitter saying, "This man is desperate, he has NO shot of winning Michigan and breaching the Blue Firewall."

NM and CO still have their fair share of oil workers and that could help GOTV a bit.

CO is too far gone. NM, NV, and NH are better dark horse candidates to get to 270 EV's if Trump can't win any of the Upper Midwest states (MI/WI/PA/MN). I really do think NM would go red before CO this year.

12 million FACE-TO-FACE contacts in swing states... 110+ MILLION other verbal (phone calls, etc) contacts nationwide.

They have a system where they literally track mail-in voters by when they request a ballot, when they send it back in, and when it is received by the election office. I believe that's a HUGE reason the Republican early vote is so strong... they're harassing people until they get that vote sent in.

I would focus on PA, MI, and AZ the most. IMO he needs to continually hit these 3 multiple times until 11/3. Then I'd throw in rallies in WI and NC the 2nd most, and then sprinkle in another rally or two in FL and MN and maybe LV for good measure.

But I think PA, MI, & AZ should be his focal points.

NC is crucial. If Trump goes down in the midwest at least maybe the NC senate seat keeps the senate in Mitch's control.

would not be surprised at all if NH is Trump. Ask me to place a bet and I'd go with that.
