The margins were pretty close, well within any MOE of accurate polling.

MI was 47.6 to 47.3 percent.
PA favored Trump by 1.2%
WI was 1% difference

Those are razor thin margins. He had to put his all into it if she were to succeed.

Think about it this way, if he didn't and she loss by those margins he would have been blamed.
