hampshire, colorado, wisconsin seem to be those states that have moved into tossup. suddenly she's below 270. she need a path to 270. trump meanwhile feels food about georgia, arizona, utah, the republican vote is coming home. what does that mean for him? well, there is a path for him. florida, north carolina, ohio, iowa, look where that would put him. 259. he still needs another state. i don't buy colorado for him. that's still in the blue column. he still need to break through the big blue wallth mid-west, michigan, pennsylvania seem out of reach. wisconsin may be out of reach, too. without it. he doesn't have a path. with it, he can get to 270. >> as the old saying goes, it ain't over until it's over, it's the world series that everyone hoped for. game 7. the cubs were able to fend off elimination. the time behind some hot hitting. it started in the 1st with this kris bryant homer. russell followed that up two
