and welcome back to the second hour of "360" on this very busy friday night. donald trump campaigned in michigan this happening, after he spent the wee hours on twitter, calling a former beauty queen disgusting, that was his word, and telling everyone to check out a sex tape. we'll get to all of that in a moment. fist, some breaking news. new national and battleground

state polling done after the debate shows hillary clinton leading over trump. now, the first national post-debate poll from fox news shows clinton at 43%. trump has 40%, a two-point gain for clinton since the middle of september in the same poll. clinton is also leading in post-debate polling in the battleground state of florida. she's ahead by four points there in a mason dixon poll of registered voters. clinton's lead is bigger in michigan, 42% to trump's 35, according to a new detroit news wdiv poll, and she has the same seven-point lead in new hampshire. gary johnson has 13% in a new hampshire poll, and in all the other polls we mentioned, he and jill stein are in single digits. both trump and clinton were on the campaign trail. we'll hear about both of their days from our reporters on the ground, but we begin with the pre-dawn tweet storm from donald trump, including new insults for the miss universe, who he says gained too much weight. >> mr. trump, why'd you go on a late-night tweet storm last night? when it comes to his battle with former miss universe, alicia

machado, mr. trump is no mr. congeni congeniality. in response to machado's claim that he called her migss piggy, he responded with a tweet storm last night. did clinton help disgustings check all out the sex tape become an american citizen? hillary was set up by a con. the trump campaign, which offers no proof machado never even appeared in a sex tape says it's just firing back. >> i don't know miss machado, but i've seen many of the interviews with her. she's not a very credible witness, you might say. >> reporter: machado insists her past is not relevant, admitting to cnn -- >> everybody has a past. and i'm not a saint girl. but that is not the point now. >> in a statement, she says trump's latest attacks are cheap

lies with bad intentions, adding trump insists on demoralizing women, minorities, and people of certain religions through his hateful campaign. this is one of his most frightful characteristics. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: trump is also ripping into the clintons, with not-so-subtle references to their past marital problems. >> the clintons are the sordid past. we will be the very bright and clean future. raising questions of hypocrisy for trump, who's on his third marriage, and has had his own issues with adultery. >> you're not worried about your past history at all? >> not, not at all. i have a very good history. >> reporter: trump is also attacking the media, blasting reports that he was furious at aides for spilling the beans on his debate preparations, tweeting, remember, don't believe sources set by the very dishonest media. if they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist. >> and jim acosta joins me now. i understand that trump spoke in "the new york times" today about microphone trouble he had in the first debate. what did he say? >> that's right, anderson.

donald trump did find some vindication at the end of this week. the debate commission found there were issues with that microphone in that first face-off with hillary clinton at a rally here in michigan. he suggested that there was some sort of conspiracy, saying to the crowd here that he wonders why his microphone was so bad. it was so bad. and then when "the new york times" asked about it, he said, well, he wants to participate in this next debate with hillary clinton, but at the same time, he says everybody is talking about this microphone. anderson, that was enough for the clinton campaign chair john podesta to fire off a tweet of his own late this evening, saying, i knew it. donald trump is going to chicken out, as he put it, out of these last two presidential debates. so they are just getting warmed up on this microphone issue once again, anderson. >> so you pointed out the debate commission put out a kind of very brief statement saying that there were problems with the mike in the hall, not to the 80-some-odd million people around the country, but not a lot of details on that if hillary clinton did not let

trump's twitter storm go unnoticed. she has made a point she has made before, a man who can get so provoked by twitter should not be anywhere near the nuclear codes. brianna keilar reports on that. >> reporter: hillary clinton taunting donald trump after he went on an early morning twitter tirade about former miss universe, alicia machado. >> i mean, really, who gets up at 3:00 in the morning to engage in a twitter attack against a former miss universe. why does he do things like that? i mean, his latest twitter meltdown is unhinged, even for him. >> reporter: clinton is campaigning today in florida, home to 29 electoral votes. >> there are 39 days between now and november 8th! just 39 days left in the most important election in our lifetimes. >> reporter: the race there has

been tight, but clinton's debate performance is giving her a bump in the polls. she's leading trump in florida by four points, largely due to her advantage in the decisive i-4 corridor, the counties between tampa to north of orlando. clinton is also ahead by seven points in both michigan and new hampshire. in nevada, she's up six. clinton hopes the next debate in a little over a week will be a one-two punch, even as donald trump and his surrogates bring up bill clinton's infidelities. >> it's fair game to think about how hillary clinton treated those women after the fact. >> reporter: clinton is not responding. >> no! look, he can say whatever he wants to say, as we well know. >> reporter: and she's still focusing on this. >> i, alone, can fix it. >> reporter: one of donald trump's key convention themes. >> i, alone, can fix it. i, alone? well, we've learned that that's

his way. one person getting supreme power and exercising it ruthlessly. that's why he admires dictators like vladimir putin so much. >> and brianna joins me now live. so the clinton campaign, they must be absolutely loving all of this, the fact that at the end of the week, donald trump is still talking about something that she brought up, kind of an offhanded mark, certainly a choreographed and planned one, about the former misuniverse. >> this has gone way better than they could have imagined, anderson. this is day five, maybe going into day six. you had elizabeth warren tweeting about this. she's obviously supporting hillary clinton. she and donald trump have been trolling each other back and forth. so she put out a bunch of tweets today, kind of guaranteeing that the story will continue. and hillary clinton herself talked to alicia machado today for five minutes and the campaign put out a readout. they detailed what they discussed on the phone call. because when hillary clinton is talking about this, which they see as bad for donald trump, with hispanic voters and women

voters, she's not talking about her own campaign. you had one campaign aide who said that donald trump can't help but going down the rabbit hole and it seems that they'll keep giving him bunnies to chase. >> lots to talk about with the panel, jonathan tasini, clinton supporter, christine quinn, "new york times" presidential campaign correspondent and cnn political analyst, maggie haberman trump supporter, paris denard, and trump supporter and former north carolina lieutenant governor, andre boward. so maggie, this late-night tweet storm, it seems like the more disciplined donald trump we have been seeing, teleprompters after kellyanne conway came onboard, that seems to at least this week have just disappeared. >> i think it's very hard for trump to look at the criticism he got after the debate, which was pretty widespread. and i know he has pointed to these internet polls that were not real or scientific as evidence that he did well. every other poll said that clinton had handily won and the

coverage has all reflected that. trump has never really had that experience before. he's had controversies around things he said in the primary debates, but this was difference and his impulse when he feels like he is attacked or he feels like he is being mistreated, regardless of what the actual facts may be, is to lash out. the problem is that he is basically treating a former miss universe as if she deserves the same level of attention that he does. and that is not the case. this also continues, now day four of a story that his aides would really like him to stop focusing on. >> paris, is there nobody in donald trump's inner circle who can just say to him, look, just don't tweet. stop tweeting in the middle of the night. or stop talking about miss universe, because, clearly, he's the one who has continued this conversation all this week on "fox & friends." i mean, one thing after another. and it's not doing him any good. >> you know, what's unfortunate, anderson, is that secretary clinton called this the most important election of our lifetime. and yet, she decided to get involved in federal politics and

bring in this issue up at the debate. >> how is that gutter politics? >> because it has nothing to do with the election. it has nothing to do with real americans and what their issues are, and what they're really concerned about. >> if a presidential candidate is calling people fat pigs, constantly referencing women's weight, that's not an important issue? >> i think an important issue the fact that there is joblessness, hopelessness in many communities, and the fact that people are suffering and really need help. that is the issue that people are concerned about at the dinner table. >> what does it say about your candidate that on day four, he continues to talk about something, by which your own admission, is not an important issue. >> back to your original question, i think kellyanne can talk to him and say, mr. trump, this might be off-message, you should probably put the twitter -- >> she said she did it to him -- >> right, she is the person who can do that and has done that, but at the end of the day, it's mr. trump, when he feels that someone is attacking him or coming after him, he defends and fights back. >> andre, donald trump said he did not take the bait during the debate.

and yet, here we are four days later, and because of his own comments, and his continued talking about this, isn't this the definition of taking the bait? >> maybe not his definition. clearly, it's not the message i would like to be, as someone who's supporting the campaign, supporting the candidate. i think he's missing a real opportunity with 39 days out. >> 39 days left. >> to be focused like a laser beam on things that directly generate enthusiasm with people coming out to vote, and this is sidetracked and it's a carnival show and it's just not healthy, no matter what side you're on. and it's not exciting people to come out. it might make a few people mad one way or another, but i would rather him focus on what he thinks is strong -- >> i want to bring in patrick healey from "the new york times," joining us on the phone. patrick, i understand you just finish an interview with donald trump. what are the headlines? >> yeah, thanks, anderson. he basically said he had absolutely no regrets about sort of his overnight tweeting rampage against alicia machado. he said, you know, why would i

have regrets? i'm a very truthful person and i'm telling the truth. you know, now people understand it. before the tweets, people didn't understand. so he's sort of -- he's stood by those very strongly. and he was really sort of furious about the way that he sees hillary clinton sort of seizing on this issue. he said he was absolutely disgusted by the way that she was supporting alicia machado. and then he also sort of basically went to this larger, what he saw as this larger pattern of the way mrs. clinton treats women for what he said were her political ends. basically, sort of really going after the clinton marriage again, saying that, you know, hillary clinton had been married to the single greatest abuser of women in the history of politics and that she had been an enabler, and he made clear that he wants to put this at the center of his argument. she said, quote, she's nasty,

but i can be nastier than she ever can be. and then i pressed him, anderson, too, on his own marriages and sort of the question of hypocrisy, since he's been married three times, i asked him if he'd ever cheated on any of his wives, and he said, um, he said, no, i don't -- i never discuss it, i never discuss it. it was never a problem. and i kept sort of pressing him about, especially marla maples, and he said, i don't talk about it. i wasn't president of the united states. i don't want to talk about it. so, you know, he was definitely trying to sort of keep prosecuting this target against hillary clinton before the first debate, second debate, try to unnerve her. but also still, you know, when he gets those questions about his own marriage, marriages, there was definitely discomfort there. >> so he seemed -- i'm curious about that, in particular, so he seemed uncomfortable talking about it? do you think he didn't expect you to ask those questions? because, obviously -- >> no, he was pretty -- he was pretty surprised. he asked me to repeat the

question. we were speaking by phone, while he was on a campaign swing in michigan. you know, but, in talking to him about why he's bringing up president clinton's indiscretions and kind of why he feels like he has a leg to stand on there, you know, he started kind of making some real kind of moral judgments about their marriage and so i decided to press him on his own relationships, you know, over the years. and it clearly was something that he, you know, he basically wanted to say, i think part of what i was struck by, anderson, i left this out, was that he said that infidelity was, quote, never a problem during his three marriages. the marla maples news has been out there are for a number of years, but he seemed to be indicating unlike bill clinton and the troubles that brought, that infidelity was, quote, never a problem during his marriages. >> okay, there's a lot of ways

to interpret that, i guess. did he say anything about participating to the next debate or the microphone issue? >> yeah, anderson, he was raging about the microphone issue. he was sort of very angry about it. he said that about 50% of his thought process at the first debate was devoted to trying to deal with this faulty microphone. he basically said all of his problems in the first debate that anyone could see was just related to this microphone. i kept pressing him about how, on television, he sounded fine, but he was insisting in the hall, it was off, it sort of threw him, melania was signalling to him from the audience that there was some kind of a problem with the microphone, and he felt very off. and i said to him, well, does this give you any concern about participating in the second debate? you know, does it give you pause? and he said, i want to participate in the second debate, you know, the microphone situation needs to be fixed. but he really kind of indicated that he felt like someone was monkeying around with his

microphone and that's who he put the blame on. >> patrick, if you could please stay on the line with us, we want to take a quick break, but continue this discussion and bring in our other panelists, as well. we'll be right back. ut the netw. all the networks are great now. we're talking within a 1% difference in reliability of each other. and, sprint saves you 50% on most current national carrier rates. save money on your phone bill, invest it in your small business. wouldn't you love more customers? i would definitely love some new customers. sprint will help you add customers and cut your costs. switch your business to sprint and save 50% on most current verizon, at&t and t-mobile rates. don't let a 1% difference cost you twice as much. whoooo! for people with hearing loss, visit sprintrelay.com. mornin'. hey, do you know when the game starts? 11 hours. oh. well, i'm heading back to my room.

breaking news tonight in a new interview, donald trump says infidelity was never a problem in his marriages. he also says he has no regrets over his overnight twitter storm over the former miss universe that he said gained too much

weight. patrick healey did the interview on the phone with mr. trump. i misspoke when i asked you about the audio problems that mr. trump said existed. i stated that there were microphone problems. that's not what the debate commission actually says. they put out a statement saying, quote, regarding the first debate, there were issues regarding donald trump's audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall, and that was basically what their statement was. so it's donald trump saying it was a mike problem, the commission is saying it was an audio problem that just affected the sound in the hall itself. but in your interview, donald trump was saying he, himself, was experiencing some sort of distracting problem? >> yes. he was totally focused on the mike, anderson. he was talking about the way that it was positioned, the height of it, but then also, he felt like someone, as he said, someone was modulating the volume or the levels of the mike offstage and was not doing it to hillary clinton. so at times, he felt like he

could be heard in the hall, he couldn't be heard in the hall, and he said he's worked with mikes for 30 years and he knows when something's not working. so you know, we kept going back to this idea that 50% of his thought process during the debate was being devoted to trying to handle the mike and not have it be a distraction. >> i understand you also asked him about something he had said during the debate about a pledge to support hillary clinton if she, in fact, gets the presidency. >> yes, he was really kind of going off on hillary clinton, her support for alicia machado, you know, his -- the issues with the clinton marriage. i said, well, look, do you really believe it when you said at the last debate that you would quote/you unquote absolut support hillary clinton if she won in november? and he said, look, we're going to have to see. we're going to see what happens. we're going to have to see. and i had this feeling in there, i sort of pushed him on the follow-up, and he wouldn't move off of the, we're going to have

to see formulation. it seems like what he's doing and i wrote the story with my colleague, maggie haberman, we were talking about it, about how it seemed like what he was trying to get at is kind of the new front where he's really trying to do what he can to kind of unsettle mrs. clinton or so he opens, before the second debate. and really kind of put their relationship, their marriage, you know, his -- you know, his take on her own legitimacy, possibly as the future president at stake. and try to rattle her. >> is there any other -- anything else i should ask you about from the interview? we're just hearing about it for the first time. >> no, he was just very, very tough on alicia machado, i mean, really sort of standing by, again, the overnight tweets that he sent. he sort of asserted again without offering any evidence that she once participated in a sex tape and just sort of kept repeating, you know, that mrs. clinton was making this young lady into a girl scout, when she

was the exact opposite. and you know, really going tough and i sort of pressed him on, how does this line of attack appeal to, let's say, undecided women voters? like, why does he think this helps? and he sort of has this view that, look, it's about saying who these people are and, you know, calling them out, and getting people focused on the right things and hopefully voters will pay attention to that. >> and i should just say, again, for -- we have not confirmed that there is a sex tape that donald trump continues to refer to. patrick, i appreciate you calling in with the latest on that interview. maggie haberman from "the new york times," your co-reporter here is -- what is -- i mean, what do you make of these latest statements from trump? >> i think that trump wanted to -- has wanted to go in this direction for a long time. i think it is front of mind. i think there is some disagreement within his campaign and his advisers about how he should do it and whether he should do it, but i think there are a lot of people advising trump right now who were around or involved or had some connection to the impeachment

process, when bill clinton was going through the lewinsky scandal. so i think that for trump, this feels very top of mind. he also, i think, genuinely has come to believe this is a know tnt line of attack. i think what he doesn't quite see is that it's opening him up to questions, like what patrick asked him, about his own marriage, where he said, there was never an issue with that. there was a pretty tabloidy, well-publicized issue with his first marriage that resulted in his second marriage. so i think -- i just think that i don't know how some people around him argue that this will help him, this will peel women voters away from hillary clinton. the way he's delivering this line, it's hard to see how that's going to work. and you're at the stage of the election where it's very tight and what you want to be doing is adding voters, not subtracting them. >> there's also -- as a clinton supporter, christine, there's a lot of folks surrounding donald trump in the inner circle, who are advising him, who also have, you know, a past, as well with some, you know, marital problems, which lots of people

have. i'm not making a value judgment on it, but that's just a fact. is that something that then donald trump risks bringing into this presidential race, as well? >> well, i think, you know, what the risks are or aren't are kind of in a way, almost besides the point. i can't believe we're having this conversation? right, we're on cnn, on your show, a very important show, and we're talking about whether we've been -- the press has been able to validate that there's a sex tape relevant to a former miss universe, who now has become the focus of a week of a debate about the presidency of the united states. i mean, somebody's going to write a history book about this some day. >> but isn't this -- >> no one's going to believe it. >> but haven't you thought this past week has gone well? >> you know, i have to say, aisle saddened by this past week. in a pure political sense, sure, it's great. but i actually think, and i think if you ask a lot of people in the clinton campaign, this is bad for the country. this isn't good for the office. and i really don't understand

why donald trump on tuesday morning kept it going. and i was on "new day" this morning and i was shocked. i was preparing to go on and saw these tweets. they're just the most outlandish, undignified, bizarre thing i have ever seen. and you know, not to be tripe, but my father used to always say to me when i was a kid, it's nice to be nice. and it's a pretty good rule to live by, except i don't think donald trump's father ever said it to him. his life isn't about, it's nice to be nice, it's nice to create huge lies about people and then use your media empire to spread them. i just -- it's beyond me. and it goes to the point that he can't be president. a guy who not only can be baited by a tweet, but bites into it and can't let go like a rabid dog. >> but, doesn't it fall -- i mean, for hillary clinton's earlier argument that she made during the democratic convention, that they can be baited by a tweet, that he can -- that a tweet can so upset him that he loses focus on other

stuff, doesn't this play into that narrative? >> look, it plays into the narrative that when somebody attacks your character, that you're going to fight back. if it's at 3:00 in the morning, 4:00 in the morning, or during a presidential debate, when you attack somebody's character -- i appreciate your comments, and i think they're very, very spot-on about how deplorable this is. but at the same time, we have to remind the audience, secretary clinton inserted this into the debate on purpose. and then the media has, in part because of mr. trump, his tweets, has continued this line. we're not talking about the basket of deplorables -- >> the word "sex tape" never came out of secretary clinton's mouth. >> machado and those issues came from secretary clinton's mouth. she knew this was going to happen and she wanted it to happen because she doesn't want to talk about the issues. and that's unfortunate. >> she could never have known donald trump was going to do this. >> first of all, one of the things we're missing in this whole tape issue, is the same effort to blame the victim is what women have faced in cases of rape and all sorts of abuse by men. machado is not the issue. the issue is we have a deranged

candidate. and the spirit of ana navarro is quite here. i heard her, quite fiery. and there's a history to this going back a whole year. donald trump's behavior in the last few days is no different than the past year. he is a draked man. the "union leader" of new hampshire, which is a conservative newspaper, here's what they said about him. "the man is a liar, he's a bully, a buffoon. he denigrates any individual group that displeases him. he has dishonored military veterans and their families." if you read the "usa today" editorial, which doesn't endorse hillary clinton, quite critical of her, he's erratic, ill-equipped to be commander in chief, a serial liar, a man who's not fit to be president. a long editorial. why are we even -- to christine's point, why are we even discussing this man as a possible commander in chief? >> well, because he is. >> i know, but i'm telling you, he's deranged, and what we need

to talk about is -- i'm sorry. if you look at the behavior of this man from the beginning, a serial liar, attacks women -- >> i want paris to be able to respond. >> i think it's irresponsible to call somebody deranged. if you're not a doctor, have not analyzed him, you cannot call him deranged. >> no, but when you look at his behavior over the past year, in the debate -- >> when you look at secretary clinton's behavior, and how she attacked the victims against president clinton. if you go back, she was very, very much attacking those women and calling out their past. if you want to open up this window, if you want to open up the door, she should be very careful. >> she knows exactly what she's doing. >> number one, there is a sex tape. i easily the googled it today, not that i want to watch it, but just to clarify, it's not so high in the sky. it's out there. >> so what? >> i'm not -- >> let's just stop on that -- >> i'm not here to -- >> i'm not either, but -- >> -- but to make the point, fact checkers have found no evidence that there was a sex tape -- excuse me.

>> well, they need help. >> there was a reality tv show that she was involved in and that appears to what they were referring to. but there is not -- when somebody says "sex tape," the image that they come up with is of kim kardashian or paris hilton and that's what -- >> -- said there was 100 of them. >> i've watched it today. it was pretty easy to find. >> we should not be using those words. we should look at donald trump's behavior -- >> -- hillary clinton knew what she was doing and she's been using women for a long time, anytime it was convenient for she or her husband, she threw this out like red meat. so she knows what she's doing and they have, the clintons, for a long time have known how to use people to the best of their advantage. and this is just one more example. >> can i say, hillary clinton has dedicated her life, among other things, to improving the quality of life of women and girls across the world. so to say that hillary clinton -- there's a lot of things people can say about hillary clinton and a lot of criticisms, but to say that she

has used women is outrageous. she's dedicated her entire life. she went to beijing and stood up and said that women's rights are human rights. she stood up for lesbians and bisexual women across the world who are getting murdered. you may disagree with her politically, but she has -- >> she's taken millions of dollars in her foundation from countries and government -- >> she has done more, she has without a doubt, in every fact measure, even by conservatives, done more to help women than -- >> she discredited any woman that came against her husband, that had an affair with her husband. >> but what you see with donald trump is attacking miss universe. you see him attacking women in the military who were victims of sexual assault and rape. >> -- that appeared on cnn today. >> he has been sued for saying that unattractive women cannot work in his clubs. this is a man who has a pattern of behavior, in his own words, saying if you're not a ten, you're not worth it. if you're flat-chested,

something to the effect that you're not worth it. he simply can't be president of the united states. >> hillary clinton is a super predator and called us basket of deplorables. i don't see her standing up for jennifer flowers or all these other women who were attacked by bill clinton. >> on the deplorables thing, just factually, she did apologize for saying "half." she amended her statement, somewhat. has donald trump afteramended or apologized for -- >> she was talking about the white supremacists and the alt right people who are -- >> but has he ever apologized or amended a state, to your knowledge? >> there was a time on the campaign trail when he said that he apologized for some of the things that he had said -- >> no, no, he said he regretted some generalized thing -- >> and i don't remember a direct apology from secretary clinton. >> she did. >> anyway, we've got to take a break. up next, we'll have more on "the new york times" reporting. tonight, donald trump attacking bill clinton, more on what he said.

ryan ruelas: no new education cuts, and no new taxes. reagan duncan: vote yes on 55. sarah morgan: to help our children thrive. well, donald trump has stepped the rhetoric even further on his attacks against hillary clinton and her

husband's infidelities. hillary was an enabler and she attacked the women who bill clinton mistreated the afterwards. i think it's a serious problem for them and it's something i'm considering talking about more in the near future, he says. he's really talking about it in and out. award-winning journalist and cnn political analyst, carl bernstein, wrote the book on hillary clinton. he joins us now. the book is "a woman in charge." carl, i'm sure it's no coincidence that president clinton is talking about hillary clinton's personal life and disappointments when their personal life is in the public eye right now, in no small part to donald trump. >> i think two things are going on at once here. we're watching a rageaholic candidate for the president of the united states become unhinged before our eyes. and at the same time, we're watching our campaign throw almost all of its marbles into the notion that the great issue here that might resound for them is that hillary clinton has mistreated women who were involved with her husband. and they're throwing all their

bets on this particular aspect, as way of winning the presidency. and it's deep in the sewer, and at the same time, there is a kind of legitimacy, if it were discussed in context and truthfully, to look at how hillary clinton has handled this terribly difficult business that's been thrown at her by her husband. >> and this is something you've written about. i mean, one of the narratives that trump surrogates have been putting forward the last couple of days, is that hillary clinton intimidated, discredited women who had affairs with bill clinton decades ago or made allegations against him. what is the actual truth, that you've uncovered in your book? >> it's a story that really requires many pages and a couple of hours of television, i think, to tell in context. there is no question, particularly back in arkansas, when enemies of bill clinton alleged that he had maintained a slush fund, which was not true, to support five women with whom

he was having affairs. and the truth is, he was probably having affairs with at least a couple of those women. the women were named. and the law firm that hillary clinton was a partner of, the rose law firm, undertook to investigate the women and to get statements from them that they were not having affairs with bill clinton. according to betsy wright, who was bill clinton's secretary, and told me that they did get statements from those women, they included jennifer flowers. that there were no affairs that took place. some of those statements were probably not true. at the same time, hillary clinton are interrogated one of those women. so a lot of things go back to that original incident. >> and how do you think secretary clinton will react if trump brings all of this up in the next debate? she's certainly be dealing, answering questions about her husband's infidelities for 25

years. do you think she'll be thrown off guard by something he mentions or what? >> i don't think we can predict how she's going to respond publicly, because she goes to many places with this. first of all, she is a deeply religious person and it's her faith that has gotten her through an awful lot of this, including the lewinsky period. she goes to the bible, she meditates. and that's part of where she gets some stability and stays level on these questions. there's also anger that she has had through her life at bill clinton for putting her and them into this position. and at the same time, her view of the quote, vast right-wing conspiracy is fanning these flames, including donald trump as a representative of that particular school of politics, even though he might not come from the vast right-wing conspiracy, she views this whole question the same way, to some extent. it makes her very angry. but she's determined to

undermine this line of attack. at the same time, there is a way, i think that a more reasonable candidate than donald trump, if she wanted to make this an issue, could bring it up for discussion. but certainly, roger ailes, rudy giuliani, they're advising donald trump and they're advising him in an inkrecendiar way that's blowing up in their faces, i think. and she'll exploit that pretty successfully from everything we've seen in the past. >> carl bernstein, we shall see. coming up, donald trump says he loves and cherishes women, but he surrounds himself with men who have a questionable history with the opposite sex. and of course, the question is will the clinton campaign bring that up if he brings it up in the debate? mar ahead. ♪ ♪
