and molly hemingway, both of them back here now. um, what are your thoughts, fred, about this campaign? does he know something or does he have to have the state. >> i think well he has to have the states and i think he knows what we know. he's gained ground there. the polls have tightened a lot but he's still in michigan and he's still four or five points behind, pennsylvania put him at the same thing. these are difficult states. minnesota, that is a reach. virginia is interesting because that was a state that i thought the trump people had written off. remember when they pulled out all of the advertise. trump needs some things to happen though. he needs -- let me just -- overall, he needs a weak turnout by african-american voters and a very strong turnout by the noncollege white voters who are really his constituency and a big turnout and he needs to get some of the college-educated republicans who have been sort of never trump, he needs them to be never hillary and line up with him. he needs some of them. and when you put them alt

john steinbeck and ernest hemingway. unlike hemingway, steinbeck laid claim to london as a literary precursor. "steinbeck entertained visions of sailing to the far east like his fellow californian, jack london, and his novels are naturalistic." but stronger parallels exist. i want to commit to talk about those. in steinbeck sympathetic portrayal of the dispossessed in "the grapes of wrath," as london had done with "the people of the abyss," steinbeck is a documentary approach to weave together the stories of those driven from the land by competition of the great depression entered interlocking set of economic pressures that held accountable to no greater good than making a profit in combining three of london's persistent themes, social justice, "grapes of wrath" updates "valley to the moon," which we have heard about, but it reaches a different conclusion. like the london characters who claim land of their own after leaving oakland, they search for california. unlike billy, who is helped in the quest to learn about farmi

andrew hemingway, the cochair of the truck campaign, says that they really feel the ground game they had really made a difference. the fact that he was just here, the candidate was here twice in just four days time. that made a difference. it really feels the room. it seems to be paying off. there had been surprises here and a lot of excitement. andy hershberger is also standing by. andy, described the mood behind you. john: you just heard heather's headquarters for trump and a lot more energy seems to be spilled over there at that headquarters. we are at the madison in manchester which is a hillary clinton watch party and colin van ostern's election night headquarters. we have been watching the hillary clin cheers when we heard some of the western returns from california and oregon, those sort of areas. largely tonight it has been a quiet and tense mood as people have continued to watch to see those electoral college numbers going up and down, up and down. we had ray buckley speak to the crowd maybe an hour or so ago, their support, encouraging them to stick around, which is expecte

john stein beck and ernest hemingway.teinbeck laid claim to london as a literary precursor as his biographer writes, steinbeck entertained visions of sailing in the manner of his fellow californian jack london and his novels. as london had done with the people of the abyss, stein beck used a documentary approach to weave together the stories of those driven from their land by a combination of the great depression and an interlocking set of economic structures that held accountable to no greater good than making a profit. in combining three of london's persistent themes, social justice, the road, and love of land, grapes of wrath updates london's 1913 novel the valley of the moon, which we've already heard about, but it reaches a very different conclusion. like saxon brown and billy roberts, the characters that claim land of their own, the joad family leaves search of work and land in california, the promise land. unlike billy and saxon, the joad family is driven from place to place and cheated of their wages to keep the p

let's bring in molly hemingway.ey are looking for a scapegoat right now. >> it's been amazing to watch the media throughout this year and a half. they have put the worst construction on everything that donald trump says. they flip out over everything he says or does. they make it sound tyrannical and awful. never really seeking to understand him and when he does what he's been doing in his communication for the last 40 years, which is kind of moderate his rhetoric. he puts out a extreme proposition and moderates it, which is something that he's done for decades after decades, they now act like this is suddenly a flip-flop. >> i actually have a hard time believing that they are really that confused about his rhetoric. it's something that's pretty well-known. >> confused or even upset. it seems like that they are upset by the fact that he is walking back his stance on hillary clinton and whether or not he would appoint a special prosecutor. you would think that would make them super happy. >> that's a really good exam
