All Clinton needs are a couple of battleground states. I really think, at this point, it's just a question of how big her margin of victory will be. And I do think the margin of victory matters to an extent, so I'm hoping for at least 323 electoral votes.

So long as it's a clear victory.

I do care about the senate & house races though, and I understand that the amount of victory can affect those races. So in that sense I hope she wins big.

the margin of victory impacts the narrative. A close contest results in a narrative such as, "We (the GOP) put up the worst candidate in modern history and he still almost won."

I care about sending a strong message to the racists, the xenophobes, the misogynists.

And I care about the House and Senate races.
