7:08 am
273 electoral votes. donald trump wins all of the tossup states, pure tossups. he doesn't have enough votes to win. he's still behind. he needs to win some place where hillary clinton has an advantage. there's a new poll out today that shows pennsylvania now a tied race. so if he can win pennsylvania, he would be able to win the presidency. i want to play one other possibility. he could try to win in inspect. . place he won in t >> and it goes to congress. hillary clinton going to new hampshire this week. you talked to undecided voters. there are relatively few. but this year, more people moving around a little bit. >> it's unbelievable to me to go out there with the voters and still have people say i don't know who i want. when they watch the debate tonight, there's about 3% truly undecided.

clinton is winning this race. donald trump is the one that has to change the dynamic. if all she does, and thing she needs to do more, is keep the race where it is and don't give him momentum, that's important. you can't be fact checker in chief. you have to take moments, have moments where it's clear donald trump not fit to sit in the oval office or situation room. >> the problem for hillary clinton is she does have a slight lead. she's kept him in the game. he's within a field goal. you don't last few days of the election and have him within a field goal. anything can happen. >> the clinton campaign wants trump to go offmessage and to be crazy. what does trump need to do? what does he have to accomplish tonight? thancht have to switch positions. he needs to be more rational, less visceral. she needs more head and less heart in the course of the debate. he has to try as best he can to

no matter what the question is they have a safe place. have to be able to end up in place they're comfortable in. >> also curious about lester holt. should he be encyclopedia britan britannica? >> journalists are supposed to discover the truth. part of it should be fact-checking. they shouldn't be an arm of the campaign. but in the course of the he does need to come up. if somebody tells a bald-faced lie, he should correct it. >> if you look at debates, moderators don't just read questions. anyone can do that. they help direct the conversation. particularly hillary clinton, it can't be in her head why is lester holt not fact-checking? she has to take the opportunity when the moment presents itself. >> david, you have helped get social media involved.
