they are just starting to count. donald trump, i should say, the red counties you re seeing around pittsburgh and across pennsylvania tonight, they are a lot redder than four years ago. donald trump is going to get a lot of votes here. we talk so much about scranton, this county where scranton is, it was a blow-out for barack obama, he won it by 28 points. tonight hillary clinton s winning it by three points. that s the progress donald trump has made away from philadelphia in the suburbs in this state, and that s why, let s see if we ve got an update on the vote. that s why he s within 4,000 votes and closing in pennsylvania. overall, 89% of the vote in, in pennsylvania. watching these numbers just click up. we re up over 50% in all the outstanding states. minnesota s got just under 70% in. wisconsin, three-quarters of the vote. we re getting close, the numbers are getting tighter and tighter in terms of the percentage of
butler county, a republican bastion that donald trump has made more republican. donald trump with a lopsided t victory there. a couple of other things going on on the map. more vote coming in still from philadelphia. chris matthews is right. they really got the job done there, the democratic machine now 453,000, still maybe more to come out of there. there are still votes in the philadelphia suburbs. two pieces of bad news for democrats. number one, that doesn t necessarily mean they re votes for hillary clinton. this looks like it s just changed. we have it red. trump and clinton have been going back and forth in bucks county. the thought for democrats was that they would be comfortably ahead in the suburbs. you see one piece of gray here, there s one county in the state of pennsylvania yet to report, lebanon county. you ll get 60,000 votes out of here, mitt romney won this 2-1 in 2012. so donald trump right now, the biggest source of votes left on
it gets better as the night goes on. and of course, we get to fill in with actual results. so all of this, we ll have a better idea, especially concerning these certain populations, as the evening goes on. we should introduce the rest of our family here at the table. that would include nicole wallace, former communications director in the bush 43 white house and a veteran of the mccain campaign, among other things. and a pulitzer prize winner, eugene robinson rejoins us tonight. welcome to you both. nicole, i was thinking about your former bosses, the bush family, and all of your friends throughout establishment republican land tonight. yes, we ve been at a 15-month wake for the party formerly known as the republican party. you know, george w. bush making a little bit of news tonight. there was a false story saying that he had voted for hillary clinton. i m assured that that is not the case. but, you know, these numbers but he didn t vote for trump either. he didn t vote for do
many of the republicans we ve spoken to are having a hard time to get behind the candidate. you re about to meet one of them. it s friday at this man s household. the sun hasn t come up and they re already talking about their future. do you want to try this avocado. he and his wife moved from virginia to georgia about two years ago. this will be their first presidential election as state residents. it s people like them who are changing the historically red state purple. everybody is looking at him he s a conservative. he didn t vote for president barack obama in 2008 or in 2012. nor does he really support democratic candidate hillary clinton. but he says, he s voting for her anyway. if it wasn t for the candidate running now, i probably would have voted for that other candidate rather than clinton. more than likely. what is it about her that s hard for you to totally accept? the e-mails, the benghazi stuff. being a military guy, the
