-- its almost impossible it seems for donald trump to get to the 270 electoral college votes he needs without florida. hillary clinton could potentially afford to lose it, although that means shed have to run the table elsewhere. but they have been so focused here on turning out particularly latino and african-american voters, and thats really the challenge for democrats now. the numbers in the early voting seem to indicate a slight advantage for republicans compared to some previous years, whic...

In play. certainly michigan. if you give donald trump florida, you give him nnk, give him ohio, give him utah and arizona and throw in new hampshire, donald trump still is below 270 electoral votes. he has to put something else in play. you were talking about michigan. if you end up giving donald trump michigan, all of a sudden he is now above 270 electoral votes. put a michigan in play. they are talking about minnesota. to be able to get some inside straight. thats what they are trying to do th...

Call as well north carolina and nevada. those early votes in nevada can make a difference. >> got to leave it there. thank you, we appreciate it. coming up, a closer look at north carolina. it has become a state that is really a must win for donald trump and had his path to 270. there on the last day of early voting. look at those lines. also live pictures from sarasota, florida. another must win. presidential candidate tim kaine there to get the vote out. next. beyond is a natural pet food th...

These -- some of these important battleground states are moving toward donald trump. >> very much so. i think im paying a lot of attention b to nevada, north carolina and florida. these are states with huge basis of donald trump supporters, but also significant urban areas. and we know that urban residents tend to vote left primarily because they are more diverse populations. and so were seeing states become tossups that in previous elections were a little more easy to guess, but we dont know wh...

They cant wake up on wednesday morning and we hope its wednesday and not after wednesday, feeling like they didnt put everything out there. we see that certainly in evidence from the clinton side with all their star power, political and otherwise. and for trump just trying to be the big personality, as big as he can be over the next couple of days. >> kelly odonnell, my fellow road warrior, we are not going to get much sleep either. we wont have much of a voice left come wednesday. >> no. >> tru...

Congressional district in maine. they award their electoral votes by congressional district, went from battleground to lean republican. that gives us donald trump at 204. hillary clinton at 268, falling below that 270 mark. how does she do it now? what is her path? she still needs to defend this blue wall of wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, where donald trump is going to be campaigning through the weekend. she did get some late news out of michigan, a brand new poll, 42% to 38% in this "detroi...

Your reaction to donald trump and this address? >> my initial thought is that these are many of the topics that his base and his advisers wish he would have stayed on track with throughout the campaign. these are ideas that many people, outside of the republican party would like to see accomplished, change in washington. he wasnt as able to as effectively communicate that to people outside of his base. >> derek, you have a piece that talks about the six ways that trump can get to 270. every sing...

Thomas, it sounds like they dont have that just yet, but we will stay here today and continue talking to voters. again, this is a big day here in north carolina. its one of the swing states, and especially donald trump mentioned he needs to win as his path to victory, and if he doesnt win, but if he wins ohio, florida, and the states he has outlined on the most important in his path to the white house, if he doesnt get north carolina its not likely he gets the 270 votes. >> we see the line behin...

So that -- that also is going to affect him. >> a lot of this comes down to game day, corey. maybe in some states its already going to be too big of a gap to make up, maybe in others, not so much. they dont have a ground game. they dont have as many offices, they are not going to be able to get as many people to the polls on election day. >> its the same argument we heard in the primaries. donald trump has no ground game and won and no ground game in nevada, won out there by 18 points. that was ...
