convention, even potential and past presidents sometimes behave with all the delight of kids. jeanne moos, cnn, new york. >> hope that gave you a smile and hope you have an awesome day today. >> "inside politics" with john king starts right now. on the bus looking for a bounce. >> we've got to go out and we've got to fight for our vision of the future. >> the democrats had the last convention. >> a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. >> but donald trump vows to get the last word. >> she lies like a dog. the e-mails, she showed great negligence. >> the balloons and confetti

have fallen. "inside politics", the biggest stories sourced by the best reporters, now. welcome to "inside politics." today marks 100 days to the election. three questions, can hillary clinton and her running mate use their post convention rust belt road trip to shape the electoral map in their favor? >> i'm an optimist and i'm confident. i think if you look at american history, that's how we get things done. it's not the whiners and the complainers and the insulters who move our country forward. it's the workers and the builders. it's people who get up every day and try to figure out how it's going to be better for them and their families. >> question two, is donald trump's new self-described no more mr. nice guy strategy the right approach? >> if i don't beat crooked hillary clinton, she is as

crooked as a $3 bill, if i don't beat crooked hillary clinton, i will consider this a tremendous waste of time, energy, and money. >> and question three, is it smart ever to pick a fight with a gold star father? >> let me ask you, have you even read the united states constitution? i will gladly lend you my copy. >> with us this sunday to share their reporting and insights, jackie ka sin itch, jeff zeleny and malik ka henderson. in 1992 bill clinton left the

bus tour focused on the economy. in 1992 and 1996, bill clinton won. if it ain't broke, don't fix it, 2016 version. >> on our bus tour we're going to be visiting a few places where people are making things. i find it highly amusing that donald trump talks about make america great again. he doesn't make a thing in america except bankruptcies. >> that was the launch in philadelphia. yesterday stops included johnstown, blue collar country in central pennsylvania, where trump is counting on deeper support. >> donald trump may think we never win anymore and our country is full of losers, but boy, is he wrong. we still do big things and we can do more big things. we're not going to build a giant wall. we're going to build roads and bridges and tunnels. >> to continue the flashback moment, it's the economy, stupid. she seems to get that.

the area she was yesterday especially and watch where they go today. more conservative small towns where democratic registration out races republicans but a lot of those people end up voting republican. how critical is this to say in pennsylvania, we're going to block you in pennsylvania and ohio? >> it's incredibly important. if they would happen to hold pennsylvania as every democrat has done since 1988, it considerably narrows his path to reaching that 270 electoral vote margin. i think that pennsylvania and ohio, interesting that they're starting the post convention like this. as you said, they do know how this works. it is the economy. this is going to be followed up by an incredible amount of television ads drilling in the message that he does not make things here, that donald trump is a big outsourcer here. we'll see if it works. if they can shave down the margins in western pennsylvania and working class ohio, along

with the urban vote in those cities, they can win those states. we talk a lot about the national polls, how tight they are, how narrow it is. from this point forward, the 100-day mark, we have to look state by state at the electoral college. right now she has the edge. >> trump's quickest path if you will is florida, pennsylvania, ohio, and hold north carolina. if he can do those things and nothing else changes, he wins the presidency. but florida, pennsylvania, ohio, especially pennsylvania the most blue of those states. to come right out of the box for the democrats and stay on the bus tour, the clintons like this. it has worked for them in the past. you get momentum and a lot of local tv coverage. you try to boost this up. going straight into if you will a weakness, blue collar white workers. >> that's right. it's a real weakness for the democrats, particularly this democrat with her record on tpp, with her record on nafta and in pennsylvania and ohio and florida trump's super pac,

rebuild america now, is running these very powerful ads with working class mainly white workers in factories with the end being a renewed america and a city skyline. they've got some real work to do. for trump the question is can he really court white blue collar workers in the way he has been courting them in the primary without alienating those voters in florida. what balance is he going to strike with trying to court these voters but also gain some sort of support among the diverse electoral in florida. >> he has a powerful enemy in ohio in john kasich. he has not been shy as recently as yesterday criticizing trump. he didn't even attend the convention in cleveland. the fact that he has pit himself against kasich over and over again who's very popular in ohio could hurt him going into ohio.

there haven't been many attempts to make amend with someone who's got so much cloud. >> one of the things, if you listen to hillary clinton, she said this in her convention speech, yeah, i'm a bit of a nerd, i like policy, i have detailed plans. she's trying to say maybe i glaze the eyes over when i go through this, this, this, and this but the other guy has nothing. >> they spent more time on insults for me than jobs for you. i'm not standing here insulting my opponent and making crazy promises. i'm telling you what i want to do. i actually have plans. some people make fun of me for having plans. yeah, i know. it used to hurt my feelings. it doesn't anymore. >> you know, she's not a comedian and she's not the best public order but trying to be self-deprecating and trying to turn -- some people say i don't

want a laundry list of proposals. >> she's conscious of the work horse show horse line. she came in with all the advantages of the last name. you can see that in what she's doing now in trying to be the work horse and donald trump certainly is showy. i think that she's trying to turn that into an advantage. and that bus tour sort of shows that a little bit, rolling up your sleeves and driving through portions of pennsylvania. she did accomplish one thing where she was on the front page in york and lancaster and westchester, these types of cities and towns that she wants to win. she's getting good coverage. >> the iconography of the bus as opposed to flying in on a big jet or a helicopter. >> she's also trying to strike a tone. a lot of these communities, the factories are shut down or people don't know where the jobs are going to be. even if they're doing okay now, what's the job in five or ten years. listening to try to strike the balance, i'm here to help you but i'm not going to come in

here and say everything's great. >> i know people are angry and frustrated. i think we just heard one. i understand that. i'm not going into this with some kind of rose-colored glasses. it's our choice, america. we can grow together. we can have plans that will enable us, or we can go with demagoguery, we can go with insults. that's the choice. >> i think that's a pretty powerful message there. the question here though is to what degree are people open to hearing her. there's been so much noise this year, probably 40% of the electoral at least does not. so i think that is her challenge there. all of us will be watching in the coming days the size of their convention bounce. i assume that they get one as he did, and then the race begins. but i think that on the margins here, i think that's the biggest

thing. are the old metrics of the campaign still going to work this year, the television ads, other things. we'll find out. in terms of a rollout after a convention, so far it seems to be going pretty well. >> they hit the points they wanted to make. if you're going to get a bounce, especially in the states that matter, try to build. if there's a cloud, you have this continuing question are there more e-mails out there and over the weekend we learned that maybe the clinton campaign itself had some hacking. julian assange saying we've got more and we're going to release them. do they think it's something so sensitive it was shared with the trump campaign and gives them an edge? >> this was an issue the past year, hillary clinton and e-mails. as long as we're talking about putting those two words together, it evokes those images of distrust that people have. >> can trump actually turn this to his advantage. it seems if we look at his comment to russia, it seems like

he has trouble doing that and making a coherent argument and having people focus just on hillary clinton and e-mails. he's got to invoke russia and putin. we'll see but i am certain that the hillary clinton campaign is nervous about this and democrats are nervous about this because it's one of those unpredictable things. you talk about an october surprise. it could be a september surprise. >> every second you're looking over your shoulder wondering if something is about to comment. next, khizr khan's speech was a defining moment at the democratic convention but donald trump says he got a big piece wrong. first, politicians say the darnest things. here's donald trump and the mosquito he nicknamed hillary. >> that was a mosquito by the way. i don't like mosquitos. that's the second time that's happened to me. i said i'm getting that mosquito out of here.

donald trump says he wishes khizr khan well, but he's taking issue with one of the signature speakers and signature moments of the democratic convention. khan, if you missed it, is a muslim whose son served in the army and was killed in iraq 12 years ago. khizr khan was critical of trump's tone towards muslims, especially his promise to temporarily ban muslims from entering the united states. have you ever been to arlington cemetery? go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the united states of america. you will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities. you have sacrificed nothing and

no one! one of the most emotional moments of the democratic convention. speaking to abc, here's trump's response. >> i think i made a lot of sacrifices. i worked very, very hard. i have created thousands and thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs. >> those are sacrifices? >> oh, sure. i think they're sacrifices. >> i think when i can employ thousands and thousands of people, take care of their education, take care of so many things, even in the military. i was very responsible along with a group of people for getting the vietnam memorial built in downtown manhattan which to this day people thank me for. i've raised millions of dollars for the vets. i'm helping the vets a lot. >> those might be accomplishments for which mr. trump deserves credit, but sacrifices? i don't -- i understand politically you might think this is damaging and we need to respond, but isn't the best answer when something like this

happens is i appreciate his son's service? mr. trump did say his son was a hero and i'd like to meet with him in private some day, i'm not going to engage with him in public. >> there are a million other better ways trump could have responded to this issue. he also implied that his mother didn't speak because of something to do with islam. that is just unacceptable. you don't say these things about gold star families. >> she did do an interview with msnbc. >> she did. she said she was too overwrought with guilt to speak. and the trump campaign issued a statement last night that said you need to read the entire transcript because clearly we're all misconstruing it. no, when you read it it says exactly what we said. >> he said his son seemed like a really nice guy d his son was a hero. then he said it's not fair to me and i made sacrifice. >> he said he had no right to

stand on that stage and say that when his right to stand up there is in that constitution that he waved. i think this is another one of those instances like the john mccain instance. the difference here is mr. khan is speaking back. he's kind of engaging with trump. >> the question here is also timing. mccain happened in a republican primary atmosphere. again, in some ways, the death of somebody in iraq, you want to keep it out of these things. the democrat things number one, there's a lot of patriotism. number two, diversity. and three, donald trump's tolerance which the democrats clearly want to make an issue. >> this gets to one of the reasons why democrats are using trump's words against him. they think he's very easy to bait. in commercials they're just playing his words. in pennsylvania, for instance, the things he said about john mccain, the threats against protestors. i think this weakness where he

can't seem to make a two-word statement or a two-sentence statement. he has to get into it and turn the attention on himself. >> it's a discipline question that has followed trump from the beginning. in the primaries everybody said it would be his undoing and it wasn't. we'll see if it is in the election. some say trump's onto something we don't understand. is donald trump talking about a stagnant economy, making the case that this is the obama/clinton economy? he said he wanted to rough them up. assuming he's been mr. nice guy, he said he's watched the democratic national convention and he's turning the page. >> i've been nice, but after watching that performance last night, such lies. i don't have to be so nice anymore. i'm taking the gloves off, yes?

just remember this, trump is going to be no more mr. nice guy. how do you lie to the fbi and now you're running for president? how does that happen? >> a footnote for the fact check team, the fbi director was harshly critical of hillary clinton and her handling of classified information but he did say in his testimony to congress that he didn't think she lied to the fbi. >> he gets the applause so clearly that fuels him and keeps him going. the problem is the voters he needs are not in the room. they're not at these events. it's a wider audience here. yes, it may work. it worked in the primary. again, a different audience here entirely. the voters he needs to win over are voters who are not chanting "lock her up" and probably don't believe "lock her up." so many republicans you talk to think they're just on the cusp

of i don't want her to be president at all, i can probably support him. then he says something like this, particularly on the gold star families, and it knocks them back down again. we have to wait and see how this settles out here. there is still time for him to right the ship in the minds of some of these voters in the middle. boy, he makes it so much more difficult. so many say, do you want hillary clinton to be your next president and say nothing else he would be much better off. of course he can't help himself and he gets into this bizarre fight with the parents of a soldier who was killed. it just makes no sense. >> how about how are you better off or how is the economy treating you. help me on this one. where is donald trump going with this? over the weekend he said he doesn't like the debate schedule. the debate schedule has been out there for a long time. after the democratic convention donald trump says i don't like the debate schedule because it conflicts with some nfl games. he said this in a tweet. as usual hillary and the demps

are trying to rig the debate. two are up against major nfl games. unacceptable. on the democratic primaries, the debates were a joke. having the debates on saturday nights and things like that, it was a joke. the commission is independent. the commission works forever trying to find the college campuses, that have the infrastructure that can do all this. the commission says it did its best trying to avoid religious holidays. donald trump says he got a letter from the nfl. the nfl says no letter. is this about stirring up controversy or planting the seeds to back out of debates? >> it seems to be planting the seeds to back out of the debates as he did in the primary. he backed out of that iowa debate, complaining about fox news, complaining about the moderators. that's been the conversation all along. this idea that could donald

trump stand next to detail-oriented, wonkish hillary clinton for an hour, two hours or however long the debate would be and still be a credible commander-in-chief. it seems to be working the public to say that this is a rigged system. >> this reiterates what he's been saying his entire complain, the system is rigged. even if he does go and it's a dumpster fire, he can say this was rigged against me the entire time. i can't imagine him -- this campaign, i can't imagine him not showing up for one of these debates but i think he's going to try to show that this isn't in his favor anyway. >> we've got 60 days before that debate and for him the question is where is his campaign at that time period. that's the biggest game changer that's out there. if he needs to change the game, he'll be there. it's like ali backing out of fighting frazier at this point. you have these two huge candidates in this much anticipated event and it is hard to imagine him backing out.

one other thing he could do is gary johnson. if he's scared of hillary clinton, get gary johnson in that ring and that alleviates the pressure. >> rules for that 15% for gary johnson. if the motto of your campaign is strength and toughness, you got to show up at the debates. next, the country made history this week and in that there's an important lesson about hillary clinton. first, who's more in touch with the middle class? donald trump or hillary clinton? you can vote at cnn.com/vote. we'll show the results a bit later. to severe plaque psoriasis, isn't it time to let the real you shine through? introducing otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently. with otezla, 75% clearer skin is achievable after just 4 months, with reduced redness, thickness, and scaliness of plaques. and the otezla prescribing information has no requirement for routine lab monitoring. don't take otezla if you are allergic

historic is an overused word but not in the context of what happened this past week in philadelphia. >> standing there as my mother's daughter and my daughter's mother, i'm so happy this day has come. when there are no ceilings, the sky's the limit.

>> no matter what happens in the next 100 days, hillary clinton will be remembered in the history books as the first woman nominated to lead a major political party ticket in the united states. she hopes to add first woman president of the united states. this is hard for republicans but i'm going to say it anyway. whatever your politics, give her her due. >> the truth is, through all these years of public service, the service part has always come easier to me than the public part. i get it, that some people just don't know what to make of me. >> hard to argue with that last part. and with this, like her or not, she is as resilient and tenacious as they come. earning the nomination and the celebration that comes with it eight years after her devastating loss to then senator barack obama. jeff, you spent a lot of time on the campaign, and again, republicans don't like her so they probably won't like this part of the conversation. but take her name out of it, she

did make history as the first woman president. she also seems to be a little more confident and less behind the wall if you will, at least in the context of the convention and what we've seen in the early days of this bus tour. we'll see if it lasts. >> standing on the floor of that convention in philadelphia i think starting when president obama spoke and having her come out and watching that embrace, i have never seen her in that moment obviously. it was a new moment because this is all new for her. we think she's done everything before but this is a new look for her. the gratitude and to watch those two have that moment as the music played and things, i thought it was extraordinary and it gave her energy i think for the path forward here. the question is, she is now completely embracing and fully locked into this third term of the obama administration. no doubt about it. a year and a half ago when she started this journey no one

would have ever thought she would have doubled down quite so much. now it's obviously the best strategy here. but that is the overall question hanging over all this, can you still be a maker of change, as bill clinton argued over and over, and still hug the president as robustly as she did. >> i was going to get to that in a minute but let's get to that. the president of the united states, she has that embrace. that's going to be in democratic ads and probably in republican ads, i suspect. the president tried to make the point, he came out and there was this -- how much does he love this. remember they were rivals. he beat her eight years ago, then brought her onto the team. the president was all in. >> that is the hillary i know. that's the hillary i've come to admire, and that's why i can say with confidence there has never been a man or a woman, not me, not bill, nobody, more qualified than hillary clinton to serve as

president of the united states of america. >> might take issue with that on mount vernon and meant cello. but in terms of this campaign, that is all in and he is incredibly important. but you mention, there's a risk in that. i think she's decided, sure, there's a risk, but if i'm al gore and i back away from it, i make it worse so i'm all in here. >> his numbers are up. he is an asset in a way that he wasn't a year ago. i think this is kind of a change in status quo election. jeb bush found that out the hard way against donald trump. there's all this different factors in the general election versus the primary. it is a risky strategy to sort of hug the president and not sort of find ways to sort of be different and i think that's her challenge. >> when was the last time you saw a candidate hug an im couple bent president like that. obama made a better case for

hillary clinton than hillary clinton did on the night of her historic nomination. >> he's obviously trying to make a wholesale transfer of the obama coalition to hillary clinton. he told the audience there carry her in the way that you have carried me. that's the big test in this election, are those obama voters or are those democratic voters. did he sort of highlight the democratic change or is that inevitable no matter what. >> you can feel a mood shift throughout the week in terms of are democrats unified. yes, there were people at the convention hall on the floor on thursday booing her, no doubt. that was some disgruntled sanders people. but the ones i talked to over all are in with her, at least the delegates. there was a woman from the panhandle of florida who i watched during the entire speech on thursday night. she was a bernie sanders supporter through and through. by the end she was holding up a homemade sign, my heart is with

bernie, my head is with her. she said donald trump is unacceptable here. i think the democrats are coming out of this convention more unified. you have to give it to bernie sanders for taking one for the team. he wants to be the budget chairman. a loss for clinton is a loss for sanders. he knows that. >> he wants help raising money down the road maybe. it's interesting because it was her moment. she clearly was liberated, i can focus on donald trump now. i don't have to go after bernie sanders. what was also interesting, we'll see the polling in a few days how big of a bounce she gets and my caution would be wait until after the olympics, after the labor day and we'll know the state of the race. you see in these early tracking polls that her personal numbers are up. people don't like her, she had really high negatives and those numbers have improved some. interesting, donald trump didn't talk about faith. normally you see it but you did

hear hillary clinton describing her mom and the motto of how she lives her life, talking about her faith. >> she made sure i learned the words from our methodist faith, do all the good you can for all the people you can in all the ways you can as long as ever you can. >> someone who's been around so long, you don't learn a lot new about them but do you learn a little bit more nuance about them? i'm not sure the right way to put that. >> it did at times feel like a republican convention of the past. there was the talk of faith. the veterans on the stage. aspects that i think the clinton campaign is -- sure they're trying to offset the blue collar support that trump has but they're also making an overt play for republicans. >> republicans paint her as a calculating, cold, ambitious, just all about her, almost robot, not human, and the question is do people outside of

her base listen to it. >> chelsea stories about her mom leaving the notes when she was away, engaging on face time with charlotte at times. i think the goal was a softer, kinder, gentler hillary clinton. then when hillary clinton speaks it's sort of take me as i am. i'm not a flashy orator, i'm a detailed, wonky grandma in some folks. up next, think of the conventions as a job interview. hillary clinton and donald trump make they are case issue by issue. those hot dogs look good. oh yeah, hebrew national. they're all-beef like yours but they're also kosher. is that a big deal? i think so. because not just any beef goes into it. only certain cuts of kosher beef. i guess they're pretty choosy. oh, honey! here, have some of ours. oh! when your hot dog's kosher, that's a hot dog you can trust. hebrew national

josh, don't you have fryeah, so? ng over? it stinks in here. you've got to wash this whole room are you kidding? wash it? let's wash it with febreze. for all the things you can't wash, use febreze... ...fabric refresher whoa hey mrs. walker inhales hey, it smells nice in here and try pluggable febreze, with up to 4 times the freshness... ...in one refill. pluggable febreze and fabric refresher... [inhale + exhale mnemonic] ...two more ways to breathe happy

this clean was like - pow. everything well? it felt like i had just gone to the dentist. it just kind of like, wiped everything clean. my teeth are glowing. they are so white. crest [hd]. 6x cleaning, 6x whitening. and at two weeks superior sensitivity relief to the leading sensitivity toothpaste. i actually really like the two steps! crest [hd]. step 1 cleans, step 2 whitens. it's the whole package. no one's done this. crest - healthy, beautiful smiles for life. welcome back. candidates often describe campaigns as a job interview. so consider the two conventions the first round in making a big hire and consider the contrast. two finalist with a very different tone when they disagree and even when they might not be that far apart from the substance. >> our convention occurs at a moment of crises for our nation.

the attacks on our police and the terrorism of our cities threaten our very way of life. any politician who does not grasp this danger is not fit to lead our country. >> he's betting that the perils of today's world with blind us to its unlimited promise. he wants us to fear the future and fear each other. now, we are clear-eyed about what our country is up against. but we are not afraid. >> to me that's sort of the umbrella in the sense that trump wanted -- we're in a crises. we're in a crises. we need a change. she's trying to say, there are problems but you need a steady, calm hand and we can get through this if you keep your head up.

>> right. and i thought her -- overall there's no question that philadelphia had a more optimistic ring to it than cleveland. the question is, some voters are not feeling very optimistic. he's doing what he believes the voters want to hear and he's right about that with his voters, his electric rat. the question is his expansion potential seems more limited than hers because he does keep stoking these things. he's probabright with probably n ten voters. >> the other voters, they're anxious too and anxious about donald trump. they're fearful about what a donald trump presidency would look like and that's what she's playing into when she talks about donald trump having the nuclear codes, a guy you can bait with a tweet. she's flaming a lot of these issues differently. she frames crime as a gun control issue. she frames isis differently as

well. so we'll see what argument works. >> it's not without risk. people thinking she's not taking this seriously or that everything is going to be fine which is not what a lot of voters want to hear. they don't want to hear everything's going to be okay. they want to hear something else. >> same question on the economy in the sense that there are some statistics that you can say, hey, things are much better but then you go out there and feel people's anxiety, feel like they're treading water in this economy. here's a little contrast on that. >> 58% of african-american youth are now not employed. 2 million more latinos are in poverty today. household incomes are down more than $4,000 since the year 2000. >> 15 million new private sector jobs, 20 million more americans with health insurance, and an auto industry that just had its

best year ever. that's real progress, but none of us can be satisfied with the status quo, not by a long shot. >> i think barring other unfortunate events overseas or at home, i think this is the debate that's going to decide the election. to one point, donald trump in his rallies often doesn't do what he did in that script. if he focused on the economy, it would be better. >> hillary clinton because she's embracing barack obama and all that comes with it has to do this. she can't talk about gloom and doom and the economy's garbage. she's essentially saying she's going to carry on the legacy of the person who's been in charge. >> she did try to say but democrats aren't doing a good enough job of listening for those of you who are in pain. >> the challenge is translating those policies into something that the average voter can grasp. she is wonky.

and trump, you know, he has a bumper sticker for every policy that he has, whether it's immigration or isis or the economy. it makes it easy to understand for the average person even if it doesn't go much past the bumper sticker slogan. it doesn't have much detail. >> let's quickly bring in a very different tone on immigration. >> we are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence and to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. >> i believe that when we have millions of hard working immigrants contributing to our economy, it would be self-defeating and inhumane to try to kick them out. >> talk about a different tone. >> yeah. i mean, this is part of the reason why trump is going to have so many problems with latino voters. i think he's like at 8 or 10% so

it's going to come up in colorado and florida. the question is does he get enough other voters, white voters, who have these anxieties about immigration. one of the problems is most americans don't agree with where he is. >> a lot of republicans don't agree with the walsh. again, he thinks he's tapping into voter sentiment. we'll see how this plays out, 100 days to go. a sneak peek, including trump's head scratching debate schedule. we asked who's more in touch with the middle class, donald trump or hillary clinton. the majority of you, pretty big majority there, picked hillary clinton. up next.

let's head around the inside politics table. let's get out ahead ofhe political news around the corner. jackie. >> last week mike pence was jeered when he said name-calling

wasn't appropriate in response to something hillary clinton said. he said after a "washington post" was black listed saying he was treated unfairly he said he should talk to trump about letting all of reporters in. when donald trump said all of clinton's e-mails should be hacked by the russians he said it was a joke. mike pence said the russians should be punished if they hacked into the dnc. whether this is simply not a discipline message or whether it's a deliberate tactic to show one side of the republican ticket is actually reasonable or whether it's a way to preserve mike pence's brand of the presidential race, isn't working out. it's certainly worth keeping an eye on. >> he has a tough job cleaning up for the candidate sometimes. >> donald trump talks about law and order. but the real law that's going to matter in this election is election law. one of the biggest developments of last week was the north carolina ruling that could have a seismic impact on november. and this is why. a significant change in election

law because of a voter i.d., early voting, same-day registration was not going to be on the table in november. now it looks like it is unless there is an appeal, if the supreme court steps in. but this could be a significant, monumental change, bigger nan anything that happened a the convention. if the clinton campaign is able to register voters on election day in north carolina, if they have one more week of early voting and if they're able to use all kinds of i.d.s, not just driver's licenses, that could be the biggest development. a change in wisconsin election law with a court ruling as well. a couple others to potentially happen before voting day. that's one of the most significant things the clinton campaign thinks would help them. >> yes. you said early voting period -- >> north carolina, the 15 electoral votes, critical. >> matt. >> donald trump's numbers among women are terrible. 70% disapprove of him.

hillary clinton is up by about 24 points over trump. one thing the campaign is looking for to fix that is ivanka trump. she was a breakout star during the republican convention. she softens her dad up in a unique way. the campaign is telling us that they -- to expect her in tv ads, expect her doing more interviews, and expect her on the campaign trail with and without her father. there is only so much that she can do, so there are reasons to be skeptical but that's one way the campaign is looking to, overthe neover the next couple weeks, change the opinion of donald trump. >> donald trump next week in some ways going to all the usual places you would expect a republican presidential candidate to go. he'll be in virginia, ohio, pennsylvania. but there are two states he'll be in thursday that are raising eye brows among republicans. maine and new york. maine makes sense because it's a

funky state that splits its electoral votes, though i don't think it's ever happened. new york, again, he's said he wants to play aggressively there. republicans on the ground seem to think on one hand maybe he has a shot in upstate new york. other republicans say this is sort of a fact-finding trial balloon for donald trump to essentially find out that it's not really a good idea for him to spend any time at all in new york. >> he keeps telling people new york and california. uh-huh. pigs flying comes to mind. >> the speakers get most of the attention at political conventions but there are important strategy discussions behind closed doors and in conversations throughout the week as old friends and alleys bump into each other. in philadelphia trying to bump hillary clinton's standing with union voters was a topic of discussion. president obama received 58% from union households in 2012 and mitt romney got 20%. team clinton hope to boost the

numbers. especially in the rust belt states like pennsylvania and ohio, so critical to donald trump's electoral strategy. labor leaders told the campaign aggressive use of surrogates is critical to shape conversations in the work place, around the bar or dinner table. leaders in michigan or pennsylvania are among those warnings the campaign that trump has broad appeal and boosting clinton will take constant work. thanks for sharing your morning with us. see you soon. up next, "state of the union." ♪it's peyton on sunday mornings.♪ (peyton) you know with directv nfl sunday ticket you can watch your favorite team no matter where you live. like broncos or colts.
