Not one. Given the "blue firewall" of MN, WI, MI, and IL, his only path to victory involves taking OH and FL and PA. There is no other option for him. He's probably going to lose OH and FL too. Kasich is still popular (don't ask me why) there and loathes Trump. Florida Latinx population will deliver the state for the Democrats thanks to Trump's racism.

He would need to win NH, NV, OH, FL, and NC. I think if he wins all those, he can win without PA.

I actually think he's more like to win NH than PA, (though Hillary is well ahead in both). In my view, if Hillary wins NH (or any of the others), she wins.

Aside from the EC votes he had to win OA to show that his message could reach that crowd. It hasn't.
