Before I share this afternoon’s potentially blockbuster numbers, I want you to write it 100 times on the blackboard: “I will not get cocky.” Also please note that text formatting for our THM mobile app and notifications is the only reason I didn’t put “potentially” in italics, boldface, and all caps. Because all of the things you’re about to read are only POTENTIAL indicators of a Donald Trump win in Pennsylvania.
