executive officer of the wwe, that is world wrestling entertainment for those of you who don t tune into monday night raw. she launched a failed bid for the senate in 2010 and in 2012. donald trump s new hotel in d.c. is not the only conflict of interest concern, but the house speaker doesn t seem to worried. a baby seven days old among hundreds of people forced from their homes in the war zone. the new warning from the syrian regime next.

donald trump s twitter feed you can find spots where you agree with him. here he is in 2012. donald trump said, the electoral college is a disaster for democracy. [ laughter ] i m going to have to retweet that tomorrow. that s great t. clearly it is right now. i think one of the things people can do to channel this anger at the electoral college is at least learn about what s called the national popular vote compact, npvc. what it is, state legislatures determine the details of their lect electors. and 13 states have declared that their electors have to vote for the popular vote winner, when it gets to 25, we won t need a constitutional amendment, it will be the end of the electoral
institutions, of every democratic power often the republican establishment. donald trump sounding a very different note there last night. we ll get to more of what he said. it s important to listen to his tone now, carrying this forward. the point before the break, one of the open discussions before the election was, trump campaign officials on the record saying one of their strategies, such a negative campaign it would depress people. convince people to stay home. donald trump is the next president of the united states. he received 1.1 million fewer votes than john mccain back in 2008. john mccain lost in a landslide. received 2 million fewer votes than mitt romney who lost in an electoral college landslide in 2012. donald trump criticized john mccain once for being captured in the veet na war and called romney a choker. 2 million fewer votes than a choker. what lesson do republicans take from that? is their president, won the election. turned blue states red.
mind the purple north carolina, he has really boosted the white vote, particularly among white working class voters. north carolina, went for it s really a swing state, went for president obama in 2008, for mitt romney in 2012. donald trump is keeping it red. one thing we re going to also need to look at as we all come and analyze the night, or after it passes, is the effect of the third-party candidates, gary johnson, libertarian, jill stein, evan mcmullin, what role what votes would have gone to hillary clinton or clinton but instead went to them. that was always one of the wild cards that pollsters were talking about. there were so many undecided voters and third-party voters. turns out that might have had a better effect than we thought in addition to the trump effect. let s go to john king. let s get back to michigan and wisconsin. these two states potentially
what are you seeing, dan? good morning, alisyn. a little bit of a line at this church in central phoenix. arizona is an early voting state, and more than 60% of the ballots have already been cast. we ll see how that manifests itself here at the polls today. arizona has been a reliably red state. a democrat has only carried arizona once. that was bill clinton back in 1996 but they think they have a good chance again with hillary clinton thanks in large part due to the hispanic vote. if large numbers of latinos get out and vote they think they can carry the state. following the national trend they did see a surge of latinos voting early, about double in terms of what they saw in 2012. donald trump, a lot of people think this is a must-win state for him. he s been to this state seven times but in the last week we have seen the hillary clinton campaign dump a ton of resources into the state. there is a reason why tim kaine was here last week speaking to a group of voters in spanish.
