those states are colorado, florida, which i know you're familiar with, these are states, virginia, northolina, these are states where looking at electates that feature minority populations. nevada is a fifth. states where you have a lot of, in the case of virginia and north carolina, you combine significant minority population with college white voters. they all voted for george w. bush. four voted for barack obama. they voted in 2008 but mitt romney in 2012. they're very competitive obviously. they're states where both campaigns are going to compete but they're states that have been moving into the democratic column over the past eight, 16 years. >> you're talking about this movement in the minority population that is african-american and latino. what percentage or where do you see the biggest growth? >> well, you're seeing it among latino voters and particularly looking at florida which has obviously has always had a large latino population. you have the cuban population in south florida. you have a huge influx of puerto rican who can vote as soon as they come in and register, you have

- right now the polls have you even in florida, ohio and pennsylvania, but it also means north carolina, virginia, maybe a state like new jersey, maybe michigan, maybe wisconsin, iowa, new hampshire, new mexico, colorado, and nevada. it always seems to come down to that. it seems that it's much harder for a republican to get those electoral votes because, look at the big prize, for example, in california. as you look at the map, you keep saying you're going to run a 50-state campaign. does that mean you're going to try to win all 50 states? >> no. we're going to run a campaign that a lot of states that were never traditionally in play for a republican will be -- i think we have a chance to get them, including connecticut. look at polls in connecticut. they look very good. no republican would go there and campaign. i love connecticut. i've lived in connecticut. it's a great place. it's got big problems. so, i mean, we're going to run a campaign that a lot of states are going to be in play that would not be in play for other people that we've beaten in the primaries. i will say, as an example, mich

ohio, north carolina, virginia, colorado, iowa, states that you would think donald trump would be campaigning a lot of the gop concerned about the fact he's not raising as much money as mitt romney raised at this point, for example. the bulk of the ads are going to be these bio ads, reintroducing secretary clinton to the voters. right now her unfavorable rating at 55%. that's pretty high. donald trump's by the way even higher. it's at 70%. but it's an acknowledgment by the clinton campaign this is something they need to work on headed into the fall. she's going on offense here. this is what president obama did back in 2012, defined mitt romney during the summer months. it was pretty much cemented when the fall campaign season started. >> it is normally the mind-set when they come back for labor day. i want to talk to you about bernie sanders. he did not concede in what was a video address to his supporters thursday. how does this situation with sanders play out? i'm struck by how much his political capital has shrunk since california. >> i'm not sure senator sanders knows how this is going to

recalling florida, ohio, colorado, north carolina, and virginia, i'm thinking, kaching on those. that's going to be a lot of money. and then one of the most recent conference call, tegna was practically salivating over the tumt. particularly as they believe trump's nomination on the republican side will expand the number of house and senate races up for grabs. now according to a terrific piece of research, tegna has exposure to 34% of the hottest races in the country. the company saw wound 51% increase in political ad revenue versus 2012. and i wouldn't say it will continue now that the primaries are over and we're moving toward the general election. even though coil has some tremendous broadcast assets, it has that ailing business where career builders consistently missed it ever since it broke up late last june. in fact it only got worse when they reported in february. the company keeps spending as a service business. that's like sales force.com. with not much to show for it. at the same time, cars.com saw recall it start to decelerate. and it remained the same with the fabulou
