joining us now from philadelphia, senate chris coons of delaware.eople that don't know their geography, delaware is a suburb of philadelphia, because it is a lot easier to live in philadelphia than it is in some portions of pennsylvania. so you know that turf. and i'm going to ask you the same thing i asked john hickenlooper, why is it so close in pennsylvania. it is historically a democratic leaning state. >> pennsylvania hasn't voted for a republican candidate for president since 1988 and i don't think it will end up being close on tuesday. i think what we're going to see on election day here is that the investment that the clinton campaign has made in the ground game, the focus that they've brought to their campaign in planning and preparing for election day is going to ultimately produce a very strong turnout across the state of pennsylvania. >> if that is true -- >> and a win for secretary clinton. >> if that is true. if minorities go out in philadelphia and in great numbers, rivaling barack obama, i think you are right. but you have to cede th

we're back with democratic senator chris coons of delaware. senator, i spoke to chairman jason chaffetz in the last hour. he says he's promising two years of investigations. he had enough material for two years of investigations into hillary clinton and her e-mail server and other issues if she wins the presidency. what do you say to that? >> wolf, i frankly say that gravely concerns me that republicans are not preparing to govern in a way that will solve america's problems. the idea that two years of investigations of this e-mail issue strikes me as a distraction from the challenges that face us and we should come together to deal with our economy, grow decent middle class jobs through manufacturing and infrastructure, to confront the threat of isis and the challenges that we face in security overseas. secretary clinton has faced so many investigations that at the end of the day, ultimately prove to be without foundation. i'll give one example. i serve on the foreign relations committee. the tragic incidents of benghazi were the subjects of 1
