Down-ticket races, some worry is overconfidence. shes extending her coattails to senate candidates, trying to take advantage of the one senator whos been known to get under donald trumps skin. more on that from brianna kei r keilar. >> reporter: hillary clinton making a campaign swing through new hampshire. >> we are more than our disagreements, we americans. there is so much more that unites us than divides us. >> reporter: and shes got help from liberal darling elizabeth warren, senator from n...

You know, god save kellyanne conway when this campaign ends, because shes going to be the first person hes going to have to blame. i shouldnt say that. theres 100 other people he could blame, but within his own campaign, heres the person whos supposed to be the architect of his victory, and i have to say, should he lose, as horrifying as it is to say that, the idea of being overconfident about this, and then you get even a poll like cnn, which puts it at 5%, you know, 5% is not nothing. >> 3.5% ...

Confident or already just past this election? we kind of see some reporting that shes moving on looking very deeply into transition and reaching out to folks in congress. >> you know, i think that the clinton campaign is very much concerned about any kind of appearance of overconfidence here. i think there is concern that people not assume this election is won. this election has changed many times. there have been a lot of twists and turns, unexpected trump has seemed out and come back and seeme...

White working class voters are, again, this nostalgia for a past where they were more ascendant, where there was more h ho mogeneity they will see it slipping farther and farther behind them and no one is talking to them. i shouldnt say this. i think hillary clinton and tim kaine are trying to talk to them about where they fit into the future and invite them into this future, but they are being lied to right now and they are going to face another crushing defeat. >> jameel, i wonder if democrats...

Today without the talk of trashing other republicans. if trump keeps this up, is this a recipe to save the house? >> i dont know if hes going to keep it up. bob dole is bob dole and donald trump is his own brand of politician. until now, he was saying that the system is rigged. i think that suppresses voter turnout from his supporters who may think, why vote if the system is rigged? is he changing? we have to see if hes going to continue with this tone. i have no idea. look, at this point, it re...

That affect the strategy walking in that hall tomorrow night, what do you think itll be? >> reporter: brian, i think the strategy here is to maintain what theyve done the last two debates. theyve kept her out of sight. theyve given her the time she needs to prepare. i think they are focussed on potentially hand american league curve ball. you saw one right before that second debate. and afterwards, they were really focussed on saying, hey, hillary clinton was not rattled by this. i think theyre ...

Else spin themselves out. let her surrogates hit the campaign trail, but how does that affect the strategy walking in that hall tomorrow night, what do you think itll be? >> reporter: brian, i think the strategy here is to maintain what theyve done the last two debates. theyve kept her out of sight. theyve given her the time she needs to prepare. i think they are focussed on potentially hand american league curve ball. you saw one right before that second debate. and afterwards, they were really...

Im going to elaborate on the presidential debate, let me disabuse you of that notion. if youre interested in the presidential election, i dont have any other observations to make on that. that doesnt strike me as a sustainable position. >> one other thing. i guarantee right now in the brooklyn headquarters there is not one iota of overconfidence. hes going to drive this thing for the next 28 days and he doesnt give a damn what the margins are. the clinton campaign with robbie and john podesta at...

Sustainable position. >> one other thing. i guarantee right now in the brooklyn headquarters there is not one iota of overconfidence. hes going to drive this thing for the next 28 days and he doesnt give a damn what the margins are. the clinton campaign with robbie and john podesta at the top of it wont let this one slip away. thats a long time. im not doing the victory dance. >> cornell, one of the things weve seen is i think well see equa librium move and the predictions will move. >> thats ab...

He was already facing an uphill battle tonight now that its magnified so much here. i was talking to just a lot of average voters. people i met along the campaign trail this weekend. average voters of his are not as concerned about this as some party leaders are. boy, hes never had a moment like this. its an important moment for hillary clinton as well because any talk of confidence or overconfidence in campaign is being squelched. theres a no gloat policy. if hes going to save his campaign, he ...
