There is enough going for Trump at this point its not quite there. He has a nominally supportive Supreme Court and most of the state legislatures are more eager to do something and are generally aligned Pro-Trump. I have never given Trump great odds of succeeding, but have acknowledged these Pro-Trump forces in his favor.
Hoping the FEDERAL legislature does something is a whole 'nother ball game. Its a bed of RINOS, Traitors, and backstabbing, backroom deals. COULD it go to Trump? Yes. Is it at all reasonable to even HOPE it goes to Trump? I'd say no.
A non-zero chance doesn't mean its not coping. It was a non-zero chance that enough electors would hate Trump and vote for Hillary instead, or that the Powers That Be could find a way to fuck it up for her. But it was cope to hope for those things.
