And a happy holidays from Washington. I'm Chuck Todd and this is the Chuck Todd cast.

Clinton's weaknesses and what happened to her campaign in the last two weeks of that election.

And you've also got like a white college degree population in Minnesota that looks more like

Pennsylvania and North Carolina than it looks like Wisconsin too. I mean, you have that core of
