(44,173 posts)If the campaign was strapped for cash, I'd you'd have to do it, but it is not.
Pulling out of a state is noticed by the media and it creates a media feedback loop that the campaign is in retreat, and more negative coverage.

(53 posts)Iowa and Ohio are only this bad due to her bad week. If she's still down big during her decent weeks then she'll pull out. But if NC is tied during a week this bad, then I'm liking NC
