So odds went down from 11-1 to 5-1 if you take that analogy. i think hillary clinton is ahead and will win by more than barack obama won by in 2012 and less than 2008 and i could be wrong, god knows, as i was during the primaries often. you know, i think she wins -- >> you think -- a lot of people think this. something that happened between 08 and 12? >> more hidden hillary clinton vote than hidden donald trump vote. >> whats the logic behind that? >> i think a lot of people are nervous about tr...

Angeles. and he started out by telling me that it wasnt just the media who had failed to seek him out in 2016. >> you know, its interesting, in 2008, barack obama specifically, you know, reached out, personally reached out and called me and asked me -- he didnt know where i was politically, what my motives, my interests were. and he said, listen, if you dont mind, i would appreciate it if you would help me secure the latino base and the latino vote. 12, he came back and did the same thing. i hav...

And political leaders. look at polling in this election, 90% of clinton voters have a highly unfavorable view of trump. 90% of trump voters -- 1980s, people voted for bill clinton and respected bob dole or -- a lot of people who voted for bush or gore could have lived with either in 08. this election, it really feels as though the candidates are running to be the president of different countries, with two different electorates that not only dont like the other guy, but dont really like the other...

Theres a case before a federal judge where theyre trying to get their rights back. they say its republican activists doing this to target minority voting. this is a state truly where every vote counts. president obama won in 08 by 1400 votes and lost in 2012 by a similarly small number. thats why hes here a second time this week. his message, go out and vote, and theres a voting place right across the street. >> right now, donald trump holds a five point lead in the state of arizona. msnbcs mari...

Them on your instagram account. you wereig supporter of barack obama. >> i was. >> hillary clinton, youre going to vote for her? >> i am. >> with enthusiasm? >> no. you know, i think the immigration problem is probably laid at the feet of barack obama. because in 2008, you know, we campaigned based on, you know, helping them create a pathway to citizenship and in 08, it didnt happened, and in 12 he mentioned it and didnt do anything. my only beef with him would be, you know, we were the deciding...

Divergence in this election between the vote of noncollege whites. in 08 president obama ran seven points among college whites and its the biggest gap ever. its probably going to be double or more. shes going to run 15 points better. so, in a state like north carolina where you have a white collar suburban vote that is trending democratic outside of raleigh and charlotte, how does that compare to the rural parts of the state where donald trump may set records in this election? the composition of...

They got insurance. they got someone who care about clemency. there is a picture everyone at this table has seen of a young black boy who set there and the president has to lean over and he reached up and touched his head and told his parents that his hair feels like mine. that is an example. that is what people vote for. and yes we had gains and we lad a lot of gains because what he came in with. after the bush presidency. you cannot talk about the desperation and despair. and where we are now....

Infrastructure tan republicans, by deposition, you have a commander in chief sitting in the white house at your party. >> bill, one of the things weve noticed here. its not surprising you started to do it in 08.2 and when you hold a rally say in late october in florida t. clinton campaign has been planning them as close to an early polling location as they k. i saw it in north carolina. the trump campaign hasnt been doing that as much. maybe that just goes to inexperience on the ground. >> right...

Are -- many of her at tributes, the things that stand out most about her are things that make her an imperfect menninger, i think, to a lot of ordinary voters. so i dont know how much they have actually missed by not having her out there. she was fine today, but im not sure she cost them a lot by not having her out the there more frequently. >> part of the problem is, this takes practice. michelle obama is now one of the best speakers in the country. i saw her early on in her husbands presidenti...

First, move the needle for hillary clinton? >> well, he can -- he certainly is popular among democrats and thats why you saw him in south florida. in jacksonville, what he can do there is narrow the margins. meaning its a predominantly republican area but as you saw the president do in 2012 and 2008, he goes into these types of areas and trips to really get black voter turnout. higher than it has been in the past. so thats why hes there. and hes also there eight years to the day when he held his...
