The only way they win it is if they benefit from a large enough \*national \*tide “somehow” that makes it irrelevant. PA is not in play except to the extent the \*nation \*is in play.

You’re right to point out that the Dems must not take it for granted, but only because they must not take \*anywhere \*for granted.
