clinton has a better field organization, but there has been a lot of chatter about how she won't be able to get the same number of african-american voters out as president obama did. what do you think of that? >> i think what you are starting to see is record turnout everywhere. it might hit 2008 or close to it and in some states it will exceed it. where african-american vote dropped off, it has now picked up. but everyone says was the low turnout, but instead you will see everyone. janet: she'll probably make up the difference of the latino vote. >> and women. janet: what have you seen today that surprises you? >> i have to say, having seen this before, the trump team
