smashing all kinds of records

another heart-stopping election here

Todd: let's go to Andrea 

Mitchell in New Hampshire

Todd: the Hispanic vote is way up

Todd: welcome John Podesta

Podesta: nice to be here Todd

Todd: you are struggling with black voters

Podesta: no we're not

Todd: why do black voters hate Hillary?

Podesta: they were her 

firewall in the primaries!

Todd: but she's down with blacks

compared to Obama in 2008

Podesta: well yeah newsflash Ted

- Obama is also black

Todd: is he?

Podesta: we're doing better with

women and hispanics and asian-americans

Todd: Obama said “I don't care if you're

not inspired go vote for Hillary anyway”

Podesta: hells yeah!

Todd: that's not a great message

Podesta: I don't care – Trump

is a dumb bigot and a fascist

Todd: mostly true

Podesta: we called 7 million people

Todd: what about?

Podesta: Hillary fights for 

families and children!

Michigan and Iowa

the rules to help Trump

Todd: should he resign?

Todd: say something inflammatory please

Podesta: the FBI leakers

should shut the fuck up

risotto recipes exposed to the whole world

Podesta: I've fought tougher bastards

than Vladimir Putin and Julian Assange

Todd: thanks for coming John

Podesta: you've got to stir it constantly!

[ break ]

Todd: welcome Newt

Gingrich: you are lucky

to have me here Chet

Todd: Donald Trump – what went wrong?

Gingrich: He is very likely insane

Todd: that's true

Gingrich: but on the other hand

his ideas like fighting corruption

and helping black people are good ideas

Todd: right

Gingrich: he's a brilliant

marketer who says nutty things

Todd: Trump lost this election

on day one by insulting Mexicans

Gingrich: Hillary may regret

abusing national security

Todd: okay

Gingrich: did you know she

used to work with Barack Obama?

Todd: yes I did actually

Gingrich: I met a 90 year who is

voting for the first time in her life

Todd: she's 90 and never voted before?

Gingrich: she was waiting

for the just the right racist

Todd: Kelly Ayotte hates Trump's guts

Gingrich: Trump represents

grass roots populism

Todd: he does?

Gingrich: Trump's campaign

was a hostile takeover of the GOP

Todd: wow

Gingrich: Kelly Ayotte is a corrupt leftist

Todd: do you really mean that?

Gingrich: yes I do

Todd: okay

Gingrich: Hillary Clinton is guilty

of violating 100 counts of federal law!

Todd: I see

Gingrich: the wikileaks burglary

finally revealed how much

lawlessness there is!

Todd: right

Gingrich the media is corrupt too!

Todd: if Hillary wins will there be a civil war?

Gingrich: if Hillary wins there will

be endless criminal investigations

and if Trump wins the 100 foot tall

gold statue of him on the mall in

Washington will bankrupt the country

Todd: golly

Gingrich: either way there

will be decades-long civil unrest

Todd: that's scary

Gingrich: labor unions will destroy America!

Brokaw: Bret Baier is a wonderful

man who reports lies about Hillary

Brokaw: this is no way to run a democracy

Todd: can Trump win?

Wallace: he can sweep the table and still lose

Matthews: time for some

street money in Philadelphia!

Todd: how does that work

Brokaw: you pull people

out of bed and get them to vote

Todd: Hispanic is the new black

Diaz-Balart: Trump woke 

the sleeping Latina Giantess

Guthrie: the Republicans saw all

this coming four years ago and

McInturff: but it won't

Todd: Trump leads non-college

educated men by 40 points!

Todd: but loses educated men

Yang: it's killer for him

Todd: sadly people care more

about his insanity than her e-mails

McInturff: if it weren't for Trump

being a groping creep Hillary would be losing

Todd: Trump voters think Hillary is crooked

Todd: her supporters says

he's a racist and misogynist

Todd: how do we heal?

Todd: our long national

nightmare is just beginning

Guthrie: I just learned that division

won't end after the election day

Todd: oh really

Guthrie: all of America feels sick to their stomach

Todd: no one trusts any of our institutions

Brokaw: right

Todd: even Obama doesn't trust the FBI

Obama: Justice is being weaponized

Brokaw: the FBI was investigating

failure to protect confidential information

and they can't protect confidential information

human carnage wrought by this

campaign and despair

and Right are destructive monsters

Todd: whoever wins will be impeached

and their bookfaces and their snipchats

Todd: she hasn't run as a woman

Matthews: the whole world

is terrified of Trump

Wallace: I'm obsessed with the hidden vote

Todd: for Trump?

Wallace oh no Trumpers are loud and proud

Todd: that does seem to be the case

Wallace: I'm talking about

the hidden Hillary Clinton vote
