carolina polls had him up seven were for example, it's a must win state from my perspective for donald trump as is florida, as is ohio, as is iowa, as is nevada and as is every other state that governor romney won back in 2012 question is how does he get to 270. there's got tab a combination thereof where he gets a blue state, he's going to have to convert new hampshire, maine second congressional district. if that doesn't work he'll needs the votes in new mexico. if that doesn't work he'll need minnesota, michigan, wisconsin or pennsylvania. and you said to me i'm wrong. i have conventional thought process on electoral votes and i want to dig deeper into the issue with you and have you explain what you mean. >> well, this is actually something that larry sabato wrote about a couple of years ago in a book i found fascinating. he said, the you think about it, it's not that there's an electoral lock by anybody. if your candidate's vote goes up, it tends to go up across the board and all of the sudden a lot of states start to fall into play. i mentioned to you on the video today this fascinating report by the education of minnesota
