CLEVELAND — Hillary Clinton entered the final phase of her campaign on Friday, working to ensure a victory that is decisive enough to earn a mandate for her presidency and a surge of voters to help Democrats win congressional races.

Emerging from a nine-day absence from the trail, Mrs. Clinton seized on the momentum of her performance in the final presidential debate, choosing Ohio — a battleground state where she has struggled the most against Donald J. Trump — as her first stop on a four-day swing. With new polls showing Mrs. Clinton closing in on Mr. Trump in the state, her campaign is glimpsing the opportunity for a clean sweep of traditional swing states.

Please, please, please remember! Even though things are starting to look good for us now, nothing is guaranteed in this game until the last polling place closes on election day. Do not become over confident, make sure you vote and work your tails off to get everyone you possibly can to do the same.

1. Encourage everyone you can to get out and VOTE!

Let's give HRC a mandate!

2. The Ohio ground game will pay out.

3. I can guarantee one thing, long election-day voting lines.

If you're in any state that encourages early voting, I implore you to early vote a.k.a. EV. You'll save tons of time and you'll be adding to the possibility of an HRC victory in another way; you won't be one of the voters in line on election day. That increases the likelihood that others who waited until the last minute will see a line without you also in it looking at your watch.

4. Year 2000 is relevant

Gore outperformed his expected vote totals by about 400,000 votes
in Y2K as the party and voters rallied with fear in the face of another
Bush.

Of course the fear factor of Bush was not a tenth of what it is today

If the Democratic Party can't win this ground game while faced with
Donald Trump, it really is time to recalibrate what they're doing
