More attached after this. some of the folks i talked to in new hampshire, they want to hear an apology from him. a sincere apology. but they also want to see him pivot to real issue. >> there are two things that are difficult to balance. you have to have a certain amount of nuance, and i dont think weve seen it from donald trump. which is contrition. and then hell be defiant because hes going to be defiant for his voters because thats what his voters want to see. how you move from contrition to ...

The 2005 videotape that surfaced friday. amid the flurry of reaction its important to remember one very important issue. this historic election will come down to one simple number, 270. thats how many electoral votes are needed to win the white house. lets get a look at the possible paths to 270. john, break down the math for us. >> were in such a different position heading into the second debate than first. lets look a t some numbers. on the day of the first debate we were talking about trump m...

Claim that nearly one in four african-americans support donald trump? >> outside that one poll, joy, every poll that ive seen shows donald trump within what mitt roey is doing which is probably close to 5%, 6%. >> i can back that up anecdotally. i dont know black republicans supporting donald trump. well, do i know. weve them on the show. lets show the nbc news battleground map and put it up on the screen. what does it show is the state of play as of now? >> it shows hillary clinton is on the cu...

Being able to beat 270. and the reality about the battleground map is that she has so many more opportunities than donald trump has. he has to essentially run the table in places like pennsylvania, in florida, in ohio, and north carolina. has to win almost all of them. hillary clinton just needs to either win one or maybe get a nevada or a new hampshire to be able to cross 270 electoral votes. the math is very daunting for donald trump. >> what about the strategy in terms of what were hearing fr...

They see this as raurch nchy, t behavior, i think we all do. well see the republican party come apart from the right. the left -- the left of the party, the center of the party has already moved against him. i think youll see a shrinking of his electoral base dramatically over the weekend, any polling, any focused grouping, any interviews by reporters is going to show it. in the last week, he lost his lead in ohio, a state you must win if youre a republican. hes lost his lead in florida, a state...

Hes getting killed in the philly suburbs right now by a 36% moargin. there you see these people who are appalled by this behavior. they dont see it as secular. they see it as raunchy. i think we all do. and so, you know, right now were going to see this republican party come apart from the right and the left of the party or center of the party has moved against him. i think youre going to see a shrinking of his electoral base over the weekend, any polling, focus groups, any interviews by the rep...

>> that was tammy leitner, who has just been through the worst of this storm in nassau, the bahamas. we hasten to add that prior to making landfall in the bahamas where this storm didnt spend long and almost looked like it was avoiding the bahamas with a little jog to the west, it took close to 270 lives, most of them in haiti. so when we say this is a killer hurricane, its not for the benefit of making some graphic more sensational. 270 souls are gone as a result of this storm so far. in haiti,...

State polls we can you about. two of them in new hampshire. this is potentially progress for donald trump. a two-point gap for him and hillary clinton. there have been more recent polls showing a wider margin and maybe something for donald trump to worry about in arizona. this was a red state in 2012 and his lead with hillary clinton there. the emerson college poll has hillary ahead by two points there. i see the recent polls that had trump up by two points. tom davis, those poll numbers for don...

Direction. two shy of 270. if you fill in the states that are likely orleaning in the red, that brings trump to about 190 that means he would have to sweep every other toss upstate to win. thats not a hospitable environment for the path. if he lost any of the state, clinton wins. there is no room for error for team trump as he takes the debate stage. that looks like it got a lot more perilous after the bombshell audio on trump. we will show you and play it for you straight ahead. blan

Lets check the "hardball" scoreboard. clinton is in the lead 44% with trump 42% with gary johnson at 5%. the real clear politics average of all the polls still has trump up by 2.5 in that state. okay, without ohio trump would have no path to winning the 270 electoral votes he needs to win the presidency. ohio is always a must and it is again this year. well be right back for republicans.
