>> joining us on the phone from the arc is kellyanne conway. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> on sunday, you told "meet the press" that we are behind. how do you get ahead. >> we are behind slightly in some of these state polls. feel really good about that. these are states that john mccain and mitt romney did not carry and mr. trump is putting together some good numbers in those states. we get ahead by mr. trump doing what he did all along, to do these roundtables in the swing states, take his message
10:23 pm
directly to the people. he cannot really wait to get the mainstream media to give him fair coverage. hillary clinton is running a much more conventional campaign and she is a much more conventional candidate. i believe an unconventional candidate like donald trump demands an unconventional approach. i will tell you, steve, that lots of folks out there think the crowds at these rallies don't matter. i will tell you that enthusiasm and the momentum never abate the matter what the media stories are, the matter how many fake victory laps hillary clinton and her friends are taking. toks are showing up 10,000 15,000 strong in these swing states and that has got to mean something. if you are waiting in line for hours and hours just to say you were there when he was there, just to say you were part of the trump movement, you are of course going to come out and vote.
10:24 pm
we also looked at the returns in the early voting in states like north carolina, iowa, ohio, florida. in other words, we are focusing on the fact that the rnc has helped us tremendously. they have been incredibly helpful in helping us beef up those aspects of the campaign. and we are starting to see the fruits of that. >> the real clear politics average in states like florida, pennsylvania and new hampshire give the edge to hillary clinton. in ohio, donald trump is only up by one percentage point within the margin of error. >> sure, but that is what campaigns are for. the national polls don't matter as much, but it is a tighter race wit. the cnn poll yesterday, five points nationwide. hillary clinton is never at 50 in these state polls.
10:25 pm
if you are the incumbent and represent the status quo, more of the same, it is unlikely that those truly undecided voters are going to go your way. what are these undecided voters going to learn about hillary clinton between now and election day they don't already know? something is holding them back. for those voters, many of them have decided, i'm not voting for hillary clinton. and now they want the closing argument to vote for donald trump. i think he did a great job in gettysburg and since then, in m ulti-stop states over the last couple days. he's talking about his vision for the first president. it isa very meaty plan, very specific. they can go to the website or his twitter feed, and they can look for themselves. they will see he is for education reform, defeating laworism, respecting
10:26 pm
enforcement, repealing and replacing obamacare. the big news today is what we have always known, which is that obamacare is a very bad at deal for americans. you have a 25% increase coming down the pipe from one of the largest insurers. it is the best example of how invasive, intrusive, expensive, and expansive the federal government has become. >> you have been asked this so often. the number one criticism of donald trump is that he has not been disciplined enough. you mentioned the gettysburg speech. you also talked about the at&t time warner. when you talk to mr. trump, what do you tell him about that? >> first of all, i think he has the right to defend himself. those are his words and his campaign. it has to be his voice and his choice. i am always respectful of that. secondly, i think donald trump
10:27 pm
is at his best when he sticks to the issues. when you go to these rallies and listen to voters in these focus groups, that is what you want to hear. he has an advantage over hillary clinton in two issues. one is the issues. she cannot with a straight face say that obamacare has been good for most americans. many people feel over quality, less choice and less access. say that she stopped isis from expanding. the second thing he has going see to is she does not have much interest in talking about the issues . if you look at her negative ads, her entire campaign is about donald trump. that is not a campaign about aspiration or optimism. that is not uplifting. i believe many voters will reject that. donald trump outperformed a number of his polling averages in the primaries.
10:28 pm
i think last-minute people are saying, who am i if not a change maker? i want to take the country and indeed, washington, dc in a new and different direction. so, i am going to leverage my chance and go for donald trump. >> let me ask you about utah. on wednesday, governor mike pence will be in salt lake city, campaigning. this is a state that has not voted for a democrat since 1964, when lyndon johnson won in a landslide. are you worried about utah? >> we want to make sure that evan mcmullen, it is running as an independent candidate, does not win utah. i think the never-trumpers, who put him in that position, just wanted to choke off the tru utah,ce path to 273 in which has traditionally been a very red state.
10:29 pm
if you get a candidate that shares a lot in the state with people who are in the state, you can get him up to 32%, maybe even 35%. but it is also a state where governor pence has a friend in senator lee, and where he recently spoke to the education reform senate. he is on his way to colorado and nevada as well. i also take nothing for granted. that is my job. my job is also not to chase every good promising statewide poll and go deploy our best resources there, meeting governor pence and mr. trump. we are trying to do a tighter electoral map than republican candidates have done in the past. i look to the obama 2012 effort as a partial model. even though some of the states that president obama and his team
