trump took the state. at this point you start to look like he is within range of the white house. 222 electoral college votes. the line at the top of the monument is 270. that is the finishing line. that watch what happened next. some districts coming in the state of maine. some obvious ones are for trump, then some surprises. ous ones are for trump, then some surprises. some obvious ones are for trump, then some surprises. older, white , trump, then some surprises. older, white, male voters in particular are being super motivated by the trump campaign. pennsylvania goes red. watch the columns as the numbers go [mer watch the columns as the numbers go up. now he is within touching distance of the white house. the whole conversation changes. hillary clinton is somewhere back stage at error victory rally and everyone is waiting to hear from trump and waiting to see what happens next. what happens next is wisconsin. a rather modest ten electoral college votes. here we go. let's see the job numbers go through

and this is what trump got. they said he got this feeling in the country, that he understood it, that he played to it, and in the end that was what made the difference. a lot of people just didn't understand how angry america washington, so now you get the ultimate outsider, the ultimate non-politician. >> christa: he predicted after the brexit vote a similar reaction when it came to his candidacy. >> dan: people thought it was different in england, but in the end many similarities. they reelected many incumbents, but at the top job they just said, no matter what, it came they didn't want more in washington. >> christa: a new world we're weigh up. to there are so many questions. what will a trump presidency look like. we have to talk about the balance in the power in the nation's capital, local races, as well, but for the latest on the weather and all this stuff at home, we'll send it back to you guys in boston right now. >> sarah: thanks, christa. >> kris: the local races, we'll get to that in a little bit. >>

has she ever met donald trump? let's get more from sara murray. >> reporter: good morning, john and christine. melania trump on the campaign trail in philadelphia to deliver a speech. her first since the gop convention where they plagiarized first lady michelle obama. she wanted to talk about what she would do as first lady and said one of her top priorities is battling cyber bullying. >> children and teenagers can be fragile. they are hurt and they are made fun of or made to feel less in looks or intelligence. our culture has gotten too mean and too rough. especially to children and teenagers. >> reporter: now one thing melania trump did not mention is her husband's use of twitter. donald trump uses it to hurl insults to people in the media. melania said she feels adults are better able to handle criticism. she wants to do more to protect children. it a speech heavy on what she wants to do as first lady. not too much on details of her husband. she has been a rare asset for her husband because she made it clear pub

anthony mason shows us how trump scored his upset. >> reporter: the trump victory was built on several key pillars, scott. but he also won white women by a similar margin. his greatest strength came from whites without a college degree. he had nearly a 40-point edge among those voters. when we asked voters most important quality they were looking for, number one was a candidate who can bring about change. donald trump won 83% of these voters. now, after the release of the "access hollywood" tape some republican leaders un-endorsed trump and it look liked there didn't happen. he won 81% of conservatives and white evangelicals, nine out of 10 republicans voted for trump. at the same time, clinton under-performed with three key groups in the democratic coalition. she won 55% of young voters but mr. obama took 60% four years ago. she won 88% of african american vote. president obama had 93% in 2012. even with the hispanic vote where early voting suggested new only 65%. mr. obama polled six points higher. in the end, republicans came home. democrats, it seemed, stayed home. finally, 13% of

donald trump 244. but still, a very steep hill for hillary clinton to climb. >> again, we are looking inside those additional states. really the ones that, animated involve pennsylvania, michigan, and wisconsin. right? do they have a similar electorate in those states? john? >> yes, they do. it's that noncollege blue-collar population. what makes pennsylvania a little bit different, is -- i mean pennsylvania and michigan the coalition for hillary clinton would have to be african-americans, college suburban educated women. in michigan points. college educated women. so that's not a huge amount for her. whereas in, in pennsylvania, she is up by 14 points. with college educated women. so -- that would -- she would have wanted a bigger margin with that group. by the way, giving her maine, continues allowing the possibility of the screen writers, 269-269 electoral hillary clinton. >> the clinton team and watch party was assembled at the javits center in new york two miles from where the trump team was gathe

trump's victory. they resolved to work together, which is exactly what this country needs, to get the current president and the president-elect and others who are in leadership positions to help unify and heal the country. we expect that the two gentlemen will be meeting soon. >> kellyanne, i have to ask you a question. for months and months now donald trump has been saying that the election is rigged. would president-elect trump now agree that the election is not, was not and never was ri the system is rigged and it proved last night he's got millions of people who agree with him. i think, you know, when he says the election is rigged, matt, what he's really talking about is he couldn't believe that he wasn't winning. he'd look at these polls, hear everybody on tv constantly say he can't win, she's a shoo-in, the path is gone, there's no way. look what happened yesterday. i think there's just a frustration for him and for those of us close to him and working for him that you've got a lot of people ta

this is how trump operates. distract, make it about the culture, but at the same time, he's not talking to the press and making all these conservative policy plans. >> i think he knows what he's doing. i think his part of the country might be a little bit bigger than the "saturday night live" audience, but we'll see. he's duking it out with these people and it's always, you talking to me? he wants to fight. robert costa, thank you. thank you all. tomorrow on "hardball," i just got the word that trump's campaign manager kellyanne conway is going to be here on "hardball." coming up, two-thirds of democrats want their party to stand up to donald trump, but democratic leaders might not be willing to do such a thing. by the way, what's the best strategy for democrats work right now? work with rump or do what the republicans did last type to obama, do nothing and stop him in his tracks. and white nationalists converged on washington jubilant in their victory. >>> and the "hardball" roundtable and what it says about ho

trump returned to the stage.e continued and finished his speech taking the time to thank secret service. >> victor, christi? >> we appreciate it very much. no charges were filed against the man detained at that rally. we know that his name is austin cites. he claims he did not yell gun other than the crowd reacted negatively toward his sign. >> i just came with a sign. i literally had one sign that said republicans against trump. when i pulled out the sign, people around me were trying to grab the sign. somebody yelled something about a gun. so that's where things really got out of hand. people were just kicking me, grabbing my arms, and finally, i'm thankful for the law enforcement who was able to quickly come. had they not been there, it's possible that these people could have strangled me and killed me on the spot. >> donald trump released a statement after making his final campaign stop yesterday saying i would like to thank the united states secret service and the law enforcement resources in reno and the st

trump. and jon karl, now hillary clinton has one path? >> she basically has one path. she needs to win all of those states we just mentioned in that industrial midwest. pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, minnesota, and she needs to hang on to the state of nevada. if she does that, she narrowly wins. let's look at it on the possibilities board. so, here's where we are. hampshire, nevada, pennsylvania, she still needs to win the state of wisconsin to get over 270. >> so, donald trump has many, many more paths. he's still leading. let's go through the states, he's still leading in most of those states. >> let's go back to the map. running out of states that are still open. hampshire, 48% to michigan, dona michigan, donald trump leading. wisconsin, donald trump is up three points, 70% remaining. minnesota, clinton has the lead. but right now, she has to win in three states where donald trump is leading. >> and wisconsin, a fairly healthy lead, three points? >> yes. caught my eye. if i can zoom b
