Ohio wasn't even near the tipping point or a bellwether.
Better questions:
Who can win back Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan?
Who can flip Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida in case the trends exaggerate even more?
Can someone pull a Bill Clinton and do for the former what Bill did for The South and for the latter what he did to Dukakis' gains in New England, Montana, and The West Coast? And whom?
Who can win Nevada by a lot of points? Nevada has been more reliable than Ohio with regards to the popular vote as of late, and besides the two elections where the winner was an Eastern dark horse, it's predicted the winner since 1912 [Ohio got FDR and JFK wrong in the same period of time]. If Hillary had won Nevada by 3 points, odds are, she'd have taken the nation by 3, which was needed to keep the EV in balance.
