hillary clinton and donald trump will be meeting again on sunday. this time, in missouri. it is the second of their three presidential debates. let's look ahead to what should be another lively event. we have the executive editor of bloomberg, and author of trump nation, the art of being the donald. thank you for coming on. tell me, how did we end up with these two candidates? how did 320 million americans and up facing a choice between these two? a perfectomething of storm. trump was nominated because the primary process was a little haywire. i think he touched on issues that matter quite a bit to postindustrial, working-class americans. i think he stumbled onto those issues. once he did, he ran with it. and in hillary clinton, you have someone who obviously comes out machine,inton legacy

an important force in democratic politics. money early on, like jeb bush did in the republican party. but she was able to make it to the finish line. rishaad: that is just it, let's talk about hillary for a minute. she comes down to the establishment of the democrat party. some have called it obama's third term. this is both a blessing and it curse for her, isn't it? >> in terms of whether or not she is her own person in the context of it being considered as obama's third term, is that what you are asking? ashaad: indeed, and being lieu-blooded democrat, i suppose. blooded democrat, i suppose. >> i think she has been weighed down by people feeling tired and

worn down by the clinton legacy. i think she is seen as an establishment politician in an era in which american voters are very discontented with the establishment across the board. not just the political establishment, but the business and media establishment. people feeling like u.s. institutions are delivering results that make a difference in their lives. bernie sanders completely spoke to that on the democratic side. to it on theken republican side. i think the issue is, what do effective leaders do with that discontent? where does a good, healthy, mature message come from? that is what is now being contested between clinton and trunk. who can offer a real set of solutions, both on the global

stage and the domestic stage, to these problems that are concerning people. rishaad: the point being, a lot of people are paying lip service , being seen to do something as opposed to actually doing something. that is where some of the discontent comes from. is that the mainspring for why donald trump is popular? because he is untested and not from the political establishment? that is where some of the discontent comes from. >> yes, i think so. some of it is the long hangover of the 2008 financial crisis in which you had a global-financial crisis in which the financial players were bailed out. i think that was a wise policy, but it happens. average people were not bailed out. peoples mortgages went under, they did not get the kind of assistance that the financial sector got. i think that fueled a lot of suspicion of both the financial system and of washington.

trump enters the picture saying, i feel your pain. you have been ignored. the reason you have job insecurity is because of immigrants. so, i will build a wall with mexico. and the reason you have job insecurity is because free trade is bad. therefore, i will vilify the chinese. and he made a great payoff from that. but the issue is, he is completely devoid of any kind of sophisticated policy prescription beyond that. rather than having a political -- pogo, he has a pog stick. rishaad: let's look ahead to the sunday debate, who won the first in your view, and what are the main issues in the next? >> i always think it is a little bit scary magic, saying who won any of these debates.

but looking to the first debate, i think trump came out in the beginning very strong. he was on message and when after hillary clinton on issues that resonated with her critics. immigration, her e-mail problems, and her career as a long legacy career politician. with trump, he went completely off message. and i think she recovered from the debate, and won it. is ae debate sunday, it very different format. it is a town hall debate. in the first there was a moderator and teleprompters. in this next debate, they will be taking questions from the audience. and, in a live format. themnk you can see both of killed as they go off script. ,ishaad: stick around with us

that has been a hurdle for him, he ends up stepping on his own talking points. i guess rivalry would be the word for, is it indicative of a polarized america? >> of course it is indicative of a polarized america. on a map, you can see the deep south and the plains estates fully republican. thatof the coasts and northeast, firmly democratic, and that will not change, either. rishaad: after brexit and the performance of bernie sanders, can trump pull this off? math is working hard against them. i think the gop has started to look at down ticket candidates. i think they are concerned about the senate, not the house. if i were a betting man, i would say trump has the odds heavily
