But the other option is that he puts another large state not currently considered a swing state into play. With a rust-belt blue collar jobs focus, I could see Michigan being the best candidate for the latter, especially given how unexpectedly poorly Clinton did there in the primaries. Clinton is leading in polls there consistently, but not by an insurmountable margin. If he can dominate that region and flip all of Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania red, that opens up a lot of maps for him. I honestly think trying to expand the map is the best play for him. The only other option is to play defence across the whole country with very little margin of error.

He's really wooing those rust belt swing states
