Trump camp: We don't need Pennsylvania to win

Donald Trump's campaign manager on Sunday said the Republican nominee doesn't need to win Pennsylvania to get to the White House.

"We have several different paths to victory," Kellyanne Conway said Sunday on ABC's "This Week." Conway said Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is doing a "whiplash-like tour" to fundraiser for her campaign and is ignoring the voters.

"I would point out the growing number of stories just this week about the Clinton campaign, how she's being told just prepare for a landslide. Wait -- you know, run out the clock. Don't go talk to the voters."

She's "thinking, 'Hey, I've got this one. I can win through many different paths through electoral map,'" Conway said. "And we're taking every state seriously. We're looking at -- we're just making investments just this week with absentee ballot outreach, with ads in about 10, 11, 12 states. Pennsylvania is one of them."

and it is the Bush path...consider he won narrowly if he won at all (he didn't) and since then they have lost Virginia.

But then they have to take Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire, Iowa, North Carolina and Nevada (along with all the other Romney states).

I blame religion. You have to have a religious-type fervor to maintain such delusional thinking.

Has anyone seen this TV ad in the Philly area? Doom and gloom under HRC and awesomeness under Trump? I do not know whether to watch it and laugh or mute the TV.

It is a pretty bad ad.
