Jim Messina coming up on The Last Word

One of the brilliant architects of the Obama election strategy and one of the only persons whose opinions about election strategy I truly believe and respect.

Basically saying Team Clinton shouldn't just focus on the battleground states but go for Arizona and Utah and force Trump to spend resources defending areas he really shouldn't be having to defend.

Said Team Clinton must ignore "rigged" talk and that they have to focus on their strategy and operation and kbow that Trump is just blowing hot air. Said Trump has no path to 270. Said that Trump doesn't know how to admit defeat but that he's going to get a healthy dose of defeat next month.

Said that early voting is difficult to measure but that Robbie Mook has learned from 2012 Obama reelection where they miscalculated early voters but that the Clinton campaign is doing stellar in early voting. Have such a sophisticated ground game and Trump doesn't.
