 That seven-point drop mattered in states where he lost by the narrowest of margins. 81,000 votes in the Keystone State, that's Pennsylvania. 34,000 votes in the Silver State, that's Nevada. 155,000 votes in Michigan and only 21,000 in Wisconsin. If Trump pushes his margin among veterans back up by 7%, he wins Wisconsin and Michigan easily and closes the gap significantly in Pennsylvania as well as other swing states.
