we are live from las vegas. it's debate night, and donald trump trials badly, or bigly as he might say. welcome into "inside politics." i'm john king. thanks for sharing your time today. this noontime, three, one, is it too late? can donald trump use the final debate to launch what would be an epic comeback? >> history is watching us now, waiting to see if we will rise to the moment. the moment is going to be november 8th.

it's very simple. and we will. we've just begun to fight. >> question two -- whasht to ma of this escalation. the election was rigged. now donald trump says the fbi is tainted, too. >> you heard about the newly released fbi documents. they reveal just how corrupt she is and it is. >> and question three -- how will trump respond to being openly mocked by president obama? >> i'd advise mr. trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes. >> with us to share reporting and insights, don bowles, "washington post," maeve reston and cnn sara murray. in this city of big bets hillary clinton is the overwhelming favorite. tonight and when america votes in just 20 days, just 20 days.

for good reason's scored winner of the first two debates and comes into tonight with both a comfortable national lead and a lopsided advantage when you go state by state through the battlegrounds. the biggest question for all of his troubles and outlandish attacks in recent days, -- >> the press is fighting. crooked hillary is fighting. they're doing everything they can. they're lying. they're cheating. they're stealing. >> can donald trump surprise us one more time? can he surprise one last time and shift the focus from complaining to a compelling case for change? >> if we let the clinton cartel run this government, history will record that 2017 was the year america lost its independence. so important. we will not let that happen. it is time -- it is time to

drain the swamp in washington, d.c. >> so the big question i have, given the stakes, given the polling how we know the race is tilting her way. angry at trump, election is rigged? these crooked, or a changed trump about changing washington? >> i assume a lot of change. part of the argument he is making. he's introduced lobbying reform, talked now suddenly about term limits. so you can see that that's the direction he wants to go, but everything we know about him is he can't help himself on the other aspects of it. a assume we'll see that whether provoked by hillary clinton or just happens naturally. >> she was so effective in that first debate, and really getting under his skin, and you know, i'm sure that tonight is the night for her to really make her argument that he's not fit to be commander in chief, and to do something to goad him into some

kind of mistake that would reinforce that argument. that's her best play, i think. >> we know that he reads the polls obsessively and now says don't believe them. something the president is trying to get under his skin yesterday. hillary clinton trying to get under his skin. how much does this get under his skin? brand new, changing the cnn electoral map after going over these things. we have the map, clinton, 307 electoral votes if the election were held today. donald trump down to 179 electoral votes. reason for the change, we've moved arizona and utah from leaning red or republican states now to toss-up states because polling in those states indicating donald trump is in a lot of trouble. possible hillary clinton is ahead in arizona. a third party candidate who could win, mcmullin probably win ut utah. also florida and looking at the map, 20 days to come, a volatile election. i rule nothing out, however, to change so many, to change as many states as he would have to change inside the trump campaign, they got to know, near

impossible? >> oh, they know this is a very steep path and what makes donald trump tonight so unpredictable and why so many republicans are twisted in knots. they hear him saying drain the swamp, term limits. why is this not what you've been talking about the last six months? just hammered home this message, cast hillary clinton as a corrupt politician, we wouldn't have a situation where utah is up for grabs, where arizona is up for grabs. now, a number of republicans are still very, very skeptical that arizona could actually go to hillary clinton, or that donald trump could lose utah, because there are a lot of entrenched republicans there, but nothing on that map that will make the trump campaign feel good today. >> go through the map, she's up nine points nationally now. average out all the national polls up nine points. unheard of in the last 15, 20 years of american politics. so polarized. the romney/obama race day of the last debate was tied. tied. >> and romney thought he would win it. >> right. >> so this is telling.

i would put less attention on utah and focus in a little more i think on arizona. things seem to really be breaking in her direction, but it's untested down there. so we'll see whether or not she really holds on that that. >> a big theme of donald trump in this past week, he's done this before, but especially focusing on a rigged election, and republicans from republican secretaries of state, to republican governors to republican bes in the congress saying, no. doesn't happen. there's no evidence in our lifetime of widespread electoral fraud. donald trump says they're all wrong. >> they even want to try and rigged election at the polling booths where so many cities are corrupt and voter fraud is all too common. take a look at st. louis. take a look at philadelphia. take a look at chicago. and then i have even the republicans saying, oh, this is a wonderful -- look -- look -- if nothing else, people are going to be watching on november 8th. >> now, a lot of republicans view this as reckless and

irresponsible. not just democrats. a lot of prukens. reckless, irresponsible. what's the end game? suppress turnout? get feel say, i don't want to be part of this or a cheerleader of the birther movement to delegitimize the winner? >> a combination of both but agnostic whether depressed turnout or simply bring out voters who would be natural trump supporters who have been, you know, on the sidelines in past elections. what he really needs at this point, because he is not doing anything to expand into other areas of the electorate. he needs people who would be for him who don't generally vote. so he's trying to stir that up and create that kind of energy to bring out in a sense a hidden vote. >> yeah. the secret army of trump voters that haven't been turning out in all of these past elections, and i think that that's why we have seen him over and over again using that -- it's really coded language what he was using right there.

and that would fire people up. get them out. make them believe that this is an election that is not too -- too hard a hill for him to climb. >> and i do think it is worth pointing out there are a number of new republicans that have registered in ohio, a number of new republicans who registered in pennsylvania. these are the numbers the trump campaign -- >> here in nevada, too. >> here in nevada. saying, maybe this really could be a secret weapon? and in ohio, the people who dug into the numbers found there are republicans who haven't voted in the last four elections, who say that they are 100% turning out for trump. >> not beyond the rem of possibility. >> no. the question is, can you get those in such substantial numbers you can turn around the kind of devastating map we're looking at right now? >> the other aspect is, let's say there are a number of those voters and there probably are, how many voters who have voted republican in the past in a state like ohio, suburban women who are not going to vote for him this time? that's the -- that's the balance

that he's up against. >> one of the big questions for tonight. in the course of the hour we'll get more granular. a closer look at polling and state of the race. how much does the women's issue come up? donald trump own voice on that tape talking about groping. the nine or ten who have come forward saying he did that to me. some sort of inappropriate conduct. how much of that comes up, a., from hillary clinton and a tough questioner, kwis wachris wallac? >> worth raising, even if, have you ever done this? he said, no. days later women said he did exactly that. he would have to answer to that onstage tonight. i'm more curious to see how secretary clinton takes that on, should it be raised, because there's talk how she hasn't been as vocal about it. partly because of the history of the clintons with this issue. but does she, perhaps, use this as a moment to try to put him away. >> doesn't feel she needs to. she's allowed this issue to

breathe, allegations to be clone out there and everybody is talking about it in america. there's nothing hillary clinton needs to say about it to make her case. >> i suspect chris wallace will try to draw her out. see what she wants to say. fascinating question. come in with a big lead. do you play it safe ja, and risn being overcautious, and another thing that will come up, wikileaks. donald trump wants to make a deal of the released e-mails. go through the specifics going through the hour. raise legitimate questions about clinton campaign strategy. whether what she said in public is what she says in private and why the dichotomy there. interestingly, a foreign policy voice for republicans in the senate said this. i will not discuss any issue that has become public solely on the basis of wikileaks as our intelligence agencies have said these leaks are the work of a foreign government to affect our voting process and i warn fellow

republicans to may want to capitalize, today it's the democrats. tomorrow it could be us. marco rubio in that statement there. i bet you everything in my pocket donald trump's not going to follow that advice, but it's an interesting -- marco rubio stepping forward at this moment in time saying something, whether he means it for the big, global long-term picture benefits hillary clinton? >> it does benefit hillary clinton only in a minor way. what marco rubio says about these issues at this point is not going to play significantly into the national discussion in the last three weeks of this campaign. more important will be what happens in the debate tonight. what donald trump does. and, in fact, what else comes out from further leaks that may dribble out over the next several days or weeks? >> but it's worth remembering that senator marco rubio gets intelligence briefings. he may know more about this than we do, and it's also worth thinking about how completely apoplectic republican would be if this happened to them. think about how different the

narrative would be and how many republicans would be out talking how this is a breach of our security, a foreign government trying to intervene in our election and they've been mostly silent on that, except for marco rubio today. if the tables were turned, i think this would be a very different narrative. >> and he has so much to work with tonight, trump, in the leaked e-mails we have seen over the last couple days. he could hammer hillary clinton on that all night, and probably do some good for his campaign. >> i see that statement, all i wonder, what's in marco rubio's e-mails? >> hold that thought. >> what's in anybody's e-mails? >> right. >> hold that thought. a bit later into clinton's final debate challenges from new fbi e-mail memos and wikileaks, and a bigger question for donald trump, up next. ♪ sing girl, come on. ♪[ singing ]♪

[ chanting ] welcome back. live on the university of nevada las vegas campus, site of tonight's debate. you might see a crowd behind us getting into the atmosphere. all good. supporters of both campaigns shouting out. what we want. active democracy. donald trump is a flashpoint tonight in part because of a tape bragging about groping women and allegations of inappropriate behavior that followed that tape. and credibility, also a flashpoint. never mind, most democrats say trump is ramping it up when he ramps about a rigged election and rampened fraud. >> look, to say that elections are rigged and all of these

votes are stolen is like saying we never landed on the moon. frankly. that's how silly it is. >> just a silly argument. the problem is, it does create doubt in people's minds, and i worry about 25% of americans who may say when an election is over it was stolen. that is a big fat joke. >> trump's temperament also a big question in thighs fs debat. something president obama had in mind as he stood in the rose garden yesterday and deliberately mocked trump's tough guy persona. >> doesn't really show the kind of leadership and toughness that you'd want out of a president. he started whining before the game's even over? if whenever things are going badly for you, and you lose, you start blaming somebody else? then you don't have what it takes to be in this job. >> they talk about a president's bully pulpit. i have not -- i don't recall in

my lifetime, anyway, a president using the rose garden as a press conference with a foreign leader to see essentially, those are the campaign pre-debate talking points. try to get under his skin about you're a cry baby, don, cry baby about all of this whining. the president's enjoying it. the question, does trump react? >> we'll see. he's taken on trump overseas in press conferences alongside at least three, four leaders and gladly takes the bait and does this every time and it probably does get under trump's skin. >> he's unshackable. >> obama. laughing at this, a serious point in the election. he said i have to be a little more subdued this time because standing with a foreign leader, because in the white house. cu come on. nothing subtle in what the president was doing yesterday. >> and opportunities to be less subtle over the less couple weeks of the campaign doing campaigning. he's doing what all democrats are doing right now.

poking, poking, poking donald trump because they know he can't resist it and that will happen again tonightened. >> and trump supporters disagree say the main stream media is out to get him. there's no such evidence. studies. small incidents of fraud? investiga investigated, absolutely. more money to maintain voter rolls? absolutely. widespread fraud, simply isn't true, and he's talking about the influence of non-citizens. illegal voting, donald trump talks about a lot. listen. >> 14% of non-citizens in both 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote. oh, isn't that wonderful? because non-citizens tend to favor democrats, to put it mildly, obama won more than 80% of the votes of non-citizens in the 2008 sample. it is possible that non-citizen votes were responsible for obama's 2008 victory in north carolina.

>> i don't believe there's any evidence of that either. is there? >> no. >> none. this has become -- i remember traveling the 2014 mid-term campaign, largely because of talk radio, not so much amplified by candidates. this time ob conservative radio and amplified by radio, isis effecting illegal immigrants and told to get on buses and subways and cough and spit at us. travel the country, people would repeat this. there's no evidence there are a wave of non-citizen illegal voting in the united states d. he mention north carolina at the end? >> yes. >> because they know they're going to lose north carolina potentially and trying to raise concerns about results there. >> an actual study he's citing that looked at non-citizen voters. even the study points oubt tt t sample is so small they couldn't confidently say any of these

voters had actually swayed outcome in north carolina, getting back to their point there are, vo, instances of fraud, because it is a free and open election's you can do that, but no evidence of widespread and systemic fraud. when donald trump is talking how people should be out there watching results, we do have people out there watching results. we have people partisans, republicans and democrats and credentialed ahead of time to be at polling places and to watch for any irregularities and report them and a system overseen by republicans and democrats leading their different states. so this would involve both parties conspiring against one another at just an astronomical level to rob donald trump of the election. >> remember, the fact this that now been talked about for days and the next few weeks means it's baked in now. at this point, whoever wins has to come out of the election and make clear they have the plan dait and it was clean. why when you talk to democrats privately, not only have to win, we have to pick up three or four

states and the win by more than five moints to make it clear to the skeptics we won it fair and square. >> actually stunned last night. michael cohen, attorney for the trump organization gets involved with mr. trump, doesn't work for the campaign thought the concession speech of the loser most important on election night and seemed to gracious saying the loser better step forward and be gracious about this. 234 not what you hear from other people in the trump organization. very surprised. trump has to deal with that tonight. pressed buoy chris wallace and by secretary clinton to say mr. trump these things simply aren't true. why do you keep repeating them on the campaign trail? a fox news national poll. who will change the country for the better? hillary clinton 47. donald trump 44. trump led on this dynamic throughout the campaign. a two-term democratic presidency. about even or she has a slight edge on issue who would change the country for the better, dan, that's ball game. game, set, match. >> everything we've seen over the last six weeks suggested

this campaign moved farther and farther and farther away from donald trump. >> this debate like bending steel, how does they bend that back in a debate? >> frank bely, i don't know. i'm not sure it's possible at this point for him to do it. the question, how does he want to spend the last 20 days of this election? does he want to continue to hammer, hammer, hammer away, continue to make wild charges or does he want to begin to back off a little bit. you know, there's no evidence that the donald trump we've seen the last 16 or 18 months will change and be a different candidate, but these are real issues for him as well as for the country. >> that change argument was, was really what his most effective tool was, for these critical groups of voters he is losing like suburban white women. and the more that he goes into the rigged election and wild conspiracy theories he just loses his audience. >> early in the first debate making a case for change in washington. see what donald trump brings

tonight when he gets those question. in a bit, secretary clinton has tough questions, too tonight. from debate one to debate three and why trump has gone from bragging about the polls to complaining. guess what? they're rigged, too. the roses are blooming in herbal essences

hair is delightfully fragranced with notes of moroccan rose and the freshness of springtime unforgettable, wherever you go the scents you can't forget... from herbal essences, blooming now!

welcome back. it is an understatement, dramatically seo o saying the debate season hasn't been kind to donald trump. back in time. september 26th, first presidential debate at hofstra. statistical dead heat, donald trump moving up. some polls showed him ahead. average, two-point clinton lead. that was september 26th. first debate. look where we are today. dramatic change. nine-point clinton lead in national polls. unheard of in recent president's politics. polarized america she has a nine-point national lead heading into the third and final debate. what that does, dramatically reshapes the map that matters most. path to 270 electoral votes.

here's where we were the day of the first debate. secretary clinton at and above the finish line. above 272. at that point, donald trump leading or tied in nevada. leading or tied in florida. leading or tied in north carolina. leading or tied in ohio. in the hunt, momentum, closing the gap. added all that up, in the 260 range and making a race. as we told you top of the hour, this is where cnn has the electoralman map in the final debate. arizona and utah, pulled back from trump, toss-up column. florida leaning democratic. north carolina leans democratic. result, secretary clinton above 300 electoral votes and on a path to where president obama was in his two big overwhelming electoral college victories. you cannot overstate the dramatic shift in the map during debate season. hillary clinton well in excess of what she needs to win and, again, in play in north carolina. a slight lead. ohio's about a tie, and these

two states, the clinton campaign is beginning to test whether utah and arizona could actually go democratic. donald trump weeks ago a huge fan of polls. now -- not so much. >> i have a feeling this is another brexit. this is going to be interesting. they don't want to show you the good things. if they take five polls of the same group they'll always show the bad one. but the bad one is fine. it's fine. you got to get out and vote. i'll tell you what, we are going to have one of the greatest victories in political history. if we get out and vote. >> when you look at that map, we talked a bit about it the top of the show. look at that map, how much it's changed just since september 26th, where donald trump walked into the first debate with clear momentum. a lot of people on his team thought he had a chance to grab the baton and seize control of the race. any way in the final debate, that's too much to turn? trying to turn an aircraft carrier. it you're a campaign strategist trying to convince donald trump

this is what you should do, what's the one thing you have to do i guess to stop the movement towards clinton? start somewhere, i guess, by stopping her. is there one thing here? >> i think the only thing that can work is to be more subdued, be a different donald trump. >> be a president. >> be a president. this has been the message to him, you know, for six months, that he had to become a different kind of person. that he had successfully navigated the republican primary, but he had to make a change and every time the people pushed him to do it he's broken out of it. >> and just think about all the things that he's done in the days since that tape came out, and since these women came forward, and made allegations. you know, setting aside what the truth is, and all of that, he's gone on to insult women and talk about their looks, and, you know, all of the things he has done just to keep pushing away fra group he needs most. >> it's an incredible important point. the last two president's

elections, a republican party that can not win african-american votes, cannot win latino votes and now the trump campaign is digging them deeper into a local you call the president's abyss. looking at how hillary clinton is performs state-by-state versus obama in 2012. she is stronger than obama in many of the swing states and trump is competitive or better than romney only in two. iowa or ohio, to older, whiter, sort of old economy states. >> the test on the debate stage tonight when hillary clinton walks off the debate stage, say did i lose anyone tonight? did i do anything to lose anyone in my coalition? and best case, did i inspire my coalition to turn out? for trump, the question is, did i win over any new supporters? if the answer to that is, no. that's the election. you can't just continue to fire up the base and hope that that will get you all the way through. >> 36, 37 even 40% will not win you many states. >> unless you have a secret army that comes out. >> the secret army pap

fascinating conversation. inside the clinton campaign and because of volatility in the election, remember, donald trump would never run, not the president's nominee. because of all that i'm staying on this side of the things can change camp. if in the clinton campaign, sara many point, a big lead. they're debate now, do you make a play in arizona? poll numbers here. arizona poll out today. clinton 43%. trump 38%. johnson 7%. stein 4%. try to make a play in arizona? not going to beat john mccain. he'll win re-election. trying to send a message to republicans trying to govern, i won in your ruby red states. your voteser are mad at you. deal with me. or, say, we got to make sure we get maggie hesson over the line in new hampshire. help the candidate in north carolina and pennsylvania and concentrate on states that are probably in clinton's pocket now. north carolina probably more competitive or stretch? >> a little of both. clearly they'll make a play in arizona. michelle obama is going into arizona tomorrow.

that's not an idle decision to do. they see an opportunity in arizona. there is an opportunity in georgia. i'm not saying it will get there, but an opportunity there. i mean, if you look, people have made this -- this analogy before. if you look, what whole east coast is in a different place than you would expect. certainly the northeast is always strong democratic territory, but virginia is now moved dramatically over to elections, north carolina in a better position for hillary clinton. south carolina is going to be closer than we've seen in the past. georgia is apparently competitive and florida, she may well win florida. that puts the perspective of the map wholly different than we thought when we started. >> donald trump likes to call mitt romney a choker, choked in 2012. donald trump to your point, dan, underperforming mitt romney everywhere. state numbers, through different voting blocks. donald trump is underperforming the guy he called the choker. a lot of americans already voted, or over the course of the

next few weeks will vote. 40% cast votes before election day. more than 2.1 million votes already cast. 1.4 million from critical battleground. 37 states in all plus d.c. that offer this. how much impact is this in terms of this is how the democrats won in 2008 and 2012, early metrics, go state by state, a little different. more globally, most think the democrats have the edge again. this cycle. this was the difference in both big obama victories. >> and seeing it again. excited what they see in florida and north carolina especially, making them so confident in predictions they'll win those two states. this is part of what democrats do every four years. good at turning out voters and turning them out early and every single day of the early voting process. i'm curious to see how well they do in ohio this year. a much more robust effort in 2012. how the president was able to get just over the line. doesn't look like they have that this time there, but they don't need it necessarily. >> this is where the donald trump's lack of a ground game

really comes into play. because the democrats know who's voted already. who they need to turn out. who they need to apply the pressure on. >> right. >> and donald trump's operation has never been set up to do that. >> on that point -- in arizona -- talking to a lot of democrats especially hispanic democrat whose have been spending time out in arizona, they believe they have a ground game ready to go. all they need now is michelle obama to show up, bernie sanders as he did, possibly her as well. >> a little gas in the tank. a critical point. third and final debate. into the stretch, nuts and bolts matter. who has more on tv, a better ground structure, day organization. see it play out getting past the third debate. too cozy with wall street? talk of a quid pro quo with the fbi? next, final debate headaches for hillary clinton.

no . welcome back. a feisty day on the campus of unlv as we apate the fine debate and hillary clinton walks on to the stage with a commanding lead and well aware of answering tough questions determines whether she protects it. just blaming russians for hacking her campaign chairman's e-mail won't be enough. yes, outrageous but raises other questions about securing the

border and what she says on wall street match what she says in private. >> i promise, we will build the wall. i'm telling you. hillary clinton said her dream is for total open trade. there go your jobs, and open borders, there goes your country. >> so -- what is her posture here? we know the campaign's position consistently we won't confirm the authenticity of these e-mails. an outrage a state actor is interfering in an american election. it is outrageous, but is she being authentic? ti tougher on wall street, and tougher on trade, not like her husband, bill clinton? do we believe her? questions have been raised. >> why she's having issues with some of these millennial voters, because there's that trust issue there. they don't believe that what she

says in public is what, you know what she says in private, and she's going to have to reassure those voters in some way that she will come through for them. that she was serious when she talked about having a shared agenda with bernie sanders. it's a really bic issue for her and this late in the campaign, it's very hard for her to address. >> and a good opportunity, is it not, for trump to prosecute, again, if he studieded e-mails, has them at intellectual disposal, politics as usual. a politician that says one thing and does another. >> this is why people hate politicians. why this message has been so effective for donald trump to the extent he can ever stick to it, is he says she's just a crooked politician and she says one thing privately to donors or in her e-mails and says another thing just to try to win over your vote. who knows what she's going to do in the white house? that's an effective message, but the problem is, you have to wade through all of the other things trump is throwing out there to get to it. >> this is a problem, though, that she has had throughout the

campaign. she does not look at governing as black and white. she looks at it as fairly messy. we heard her make that argument against president obama in the 2008 campaign. she made it against bernie sanders during the primaries. she thinks that it requires give and take and compromise and that there are no clear answers. donald trump is a black and white politician. >> he's a black and white politician in this campaign, but one of my big questions is, is he an effective messenger for the case against her? talks about the false promise of globalism. we need arn america first economy, american first foreign policy. one paragraph from an essay a guy named donald trump wrote for cnn just three years ago about globalism and the economic community written around the davos economic forum. >>" closer to having an economic community in the best sense of the term. we work with each other for the benefit of all." that donald trump 2013 needs to

have a conversation with the donald trump of this campaign. see if hillary clinton has that or other things at her disposal tonight. another point, democrats had to turn somebody working fon the committee caught on tape by a conservative activist, surreptitiously recorded, still, saying this -- >> honestly, it is not hard to get some of these assholes to pop off. >> right. >> it's a matter of showing up to want to get into the rally in a planned parenthood t-shirt, say, or, you know -- trump is a nazi, you know. you can message to draw them out and draw them to punch here. >> essentially democratic organizers again being paid as a contractors saying show up at trump rallies and cause trouble. he's been fired. donna brazill, temporary contractor, hire people late in the campaign to do an important

job, temporary but doing a critical job. how much mud on democrats for, always blame the trump people. say all of this violence, trump people are sdrdisruptive. that's reprehensible. >> politics s is is craf s is . sara aware of this at rallies. my sense, there really are real passions exploding when protestors come into the crowds. it would be hard to make the argument that that's what has happened in each case here. >> right. that's absolutely true. certainly instances where people haven't done something to incite the crowd and the crowd turns on them, or so up in protest. something of course we've seen in previous campaigns, but it's just -- it's hard to see a video like that, because that's not what you want your political operatives doing. you don't want them planting people in a rally with the purpose of trying to get punched in the face to make the other side look bad.

you know, you sort of want to respect the democratic process, and that's part of the reason all of these rigged elections claims -- >> confirms what trump and others said for months. democrats are paying people to go to these things and cause trouble. there's the truth. >> you just used a word we don't use enough of in the campaign. respect. respect. shocking. a sneak peek into the notebooks and a big question about -- about, i don't know what it's about. we'll find out when we come back. looking for a medicare prescription drug plan
