go and what to say? >> i think juan has depicted some of the differences in style, but there is a reason trump campaign is florida, ohio and pennsylvania, if they win those three states, plus what romney won, they would go into the white house. pennsylvania is up for grabs. democrat friends of mine involved in the clinton effort readily acknowledge the state is changing. there's been a shift away from the democrats towards the republicans. similarly in florida since 2012, there's been a 300,000 vote the democrats, in a state that barack obama won by 94,000 votes last time around. these states are in contention, but one of the reasons why is because both major political parties are being disrupted. the republicans have a problem with college educated, particularly women, but also men. the democrats have a problem with blue-collar high school educated men and women. as a result that's why we have the highest numbers of undecided since 1982 a have nomineeses drawing less than an historic average. it's a close race all the way to the end. >> but karl, i think you would acknowledge -- >> let me finish. i would agree with ju

she is going to go onto ohio. tufrp and spens, you can see that is the focus right now. me into really strange confusion. trump's campaign has about 6 to staffers. the hispanic vote is nowhere near going for donald trump no report has lost 1988. it is on the theer row could get diseffected white males. we have seen clinton retching out to why p that was a theme of that democratic convention. >> carl, is it that bleak for trump? as the architect of 2000 and 2004 what would you be advising? >> i think it is in the style of campaign. there is a reason the trump campaign is on florida, ohio and pennsylvania. it will go into the white house. pennsylvania is up for grabs. the democrat friends of mine readily knowledged the state is changing. there has been a 2,000,000-vote shift away from the democrats. similarly in florida there has been a change towards the republicans and away from the democrats. barack obama won by 94,000 votes last time around. one reason they will be in contention is both political problems are being disrupted. the dem skrats have a problem with blue that
