king starts right now. donald trump vows a no rest sprint to election day. >> win, lose or draw i will be happy with myself. >> 16 days out and the map heavily favors hillary clinton. >> i am excited because we are well on our way. >> plus the obamas lead a critical early voting push. >> we are trying to get you to stay home. >> yes, it's been a rough campaign. >> like being hooked up to an i.v. drip of venom, vinegar and vial. >> insi"inside politics," the b stories sourced by the best reporters now. welcome to "inside politics". i'm john king. thanks for sharing your sunday morning. 16 days until america picks its

new president. three questions. one, why can't donald trump control himself? adding this to a speech aides have told a major policy address. >> every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign. all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. >> question two, his talk of retribution about that a by product of this introspection. >> it matters to me whether we win or lose because -- so i'll have over $100 million of my own money in this campaign. >> actually 60 million. number three cautious or bold. with the advantage hillary clinton sounds confidence. does she play it safe or target some red states? >> i of a now spent four and a half hours on stage with donald proving once again i have the stamina to be president.

>> with us to share their reporting and their insight, julie pace, and our panel. well, there he goes again. donald trump off prompter, off message and by the looks of it at the moment off any potential path to victory. the republican nominee staff held a conference call friday evening outlining what they promised would be a major policy speech saturday, at historic gettysburg, pennsylvania, an t outline of the trump's first 100 days. he opened with nearly 15 minute tirade against media, political establishment and the women, 11 who now have said trump made inappropriate advances ranging from kissing to groping. >> they are trying to poison the mind of the american voter. every woman lied when they came forward to hurt my campaign.

total fabrication. the events never happened. never. all of these liars will be sued after the election is over. it was probably the dnc and clinton campaign that put forward these liars with their fabricated stories. >> hillary clinton more than happy to spend. number one she says her campaign had nothing to do with this. number two, trump was ignoring gettysburg's important legacy. >> i saw where our opponent, donald trump, went to gettysburg, one of the most extraordinary places in american history, and basically said if he's president he'll spend his time suing women who have made charges against him based on his behavior. >> what does it tell us? i guess where are we in the sense that look trump is behind.

i'm going stay until the very end and saying even though the map looks bleak i'll hold open the positive a trump come back. she's a flawed candidate. the campaign staff says here it comes, 100 days we'll close with a strong argument and their candidate decides before he gets to the speech on the teleprompter to go off on the media and necessary women. >> it's something he can't help himself. he's never been able to overcome this impulse to air a grievance, especially if it affects him personally. you almost have to feel bad for his campaign staff because they really laid this out in a level of detail that they don't often do with thinks speeches. this is his closing argument. he'll define the choice in this race. again we talk about this a lot. yes, he did that in a later part of the speech but every time the republican nominee opens with something that's quite controversial, we have no choice but to cover that. we have to cover this. and he cannot help himself in

leaving that on the floor. >> i just think that personal conflicts are more interesting to voters than watching him channel straight change. that's what reality tv is, that's core of reality tv, score settling. trump likes to be compelling. that was part of the teleprompter speech. he planned to say those things for the first 16 minutes of the speech where he was criticizing the press and clinton and the electoral process. so perhaps they think that conflict is truly affecting voters. >> does he get pennsylvania where he's down? >> you have to wonder if there was any voter, one single voter who he reached out to or attracted in that speech. no. he's shedding supporters or potential supporters all the time. i think it's just another example. i can't wait to see what happens in these final 16 days. he's campaigning to aggressively. this is his last sort of moment

to make his point here. yesterday was just guesting started. >> let's frame it. let's show our polls of polls. when the lead is this big. hillary clinton goes into final two weeks, 16 tase out, two full weeks of campaignings that's an eight-point lead. unheard of in the last 25 years in american politics. if donald trump can get within three points we have to forget about the national polls. he wants to talk about this media bias. he criticized this company, at&t trying to buy time warner. time warner owns cnn donald trump says that won't happen if he's elected president. he'll reject that. that was part of his tirade against the media. >> the dishonest mainstream media is also part and a major part of this corruption. they are corrupt. they lie and fabricate stories to make a candidate that's not their preferred choice look as

bad and even dangerous as possible. they are trying desperately to suppress my vote and the voice of the american people. >> i hope everybody watching votes. nobody here is trying to suppress anybody's vote. i get this is a conservative stalwart, every campaign beat up on the media. to your point, donald trump if he were president, win or lose he'll sue these women. either president of the united states or republican nominee who loses the election, if he says that at the top of his speech of course it will get covered. if i rob a bank and then i lay out my 100 day plan it will get covered. >> not many new policy ideas but ones that frankly have propelled him to the nomination. railing on immigration saying we should drain the swamp, put term

limits on congress, messages that voters would like particularly in this anti-washington year. but he conley steps on his message. look at the one period of time where donald trump was doing very well in the polls, neck and neck with hillary clinton was when he was making speeches like this, where he was staying on message, prosecuting case, being the outsider, taking out the status quo. when he does that he loses the message. >> let's look at the proposals that he got to after beating up on the media. his 100 day priorities congressional term limits. very popular with conservatives and independents as well. renegotiate nafta his trade message in the rust belt states has been for his campaign. suspend immigration from terror prone countries. cancel most of obama's executive orders. repeal and replace obamacare. that's a change message. if he's talking about these things he can get it. this is a week where he's off the rails. i want to go back to the debate.

the fact we're talking about the third and final debate which was this week on the sunday morning after tells you about the turmoil and the constant headlines. in the debate he needed to turn in a strong performance. instead the big headline is when he said at the debate ask me on election night or the day after if i'll accept the results. >> the loser concedes to the winner and the country comes together in part for the good of the country are you saying you're not prepared? >> i'll tell you at the time. i'll keep you in suspense. >> he has every expectation to accept the results. again he's his own worst enemy if you want to prosecute the case for change or prosecute your case against clinton you can't keep saying things like that. >> he had a good moment except for that moment. he landed a couple of punches on clinton. he got out some of the talking points. but i can say from my own experience i was cracking the

lead on the ap story that made that point and the second he said that, we switched gears because, again, he's the republican nominee. if you're going to stand on the debate stage and say you can't tell us if you'll accept the results you wash away everything else that you're trying to pout there. he just can't seem to get his head around that. >> he looks at the polls too. he know he's losing this race. it seems that donald trump is laying the ground work to say, to make excuses why he didn't win, blaming the media, blaming the system and saying he may not accept the election results. that could be part of the one reason why he continually brings up the fact things are rigged against him. can't be his fault. it's the system's fault. >> if you're going to do that wait until the last couple of days. ahead we'll map out the presidential race and biggest choices facing clinton and trump. next the trump effect on the battle for the senate. this week politicians say the

darnest things takes you back to the third and final debate. >> let's talk immigration. mr. trump why are your immigration policies better than secretary clinton's? >> because she wants open borders and that's crazy. i mean people are just pouring in to this country from mexico and a lot of them are very omb res. >> bingo. bingo. i got bingo! i got omb res, rapist, miss piggy and if she wasn't my daughter.

one-third of the senate is up every two years. the republicans currently have 54 seats. democrats think they can take the senate back. the steepness of the hill for the republicans, see the red outlines those are states republicans are defending. they are defending way more seats than democrats. let's take some seats off the board. these are races that strategists in both parties are baked in. democrats will win california. republicans win down leer. people thought ohio would be closer. ron portman is running a good campaign. republicans are happy they think they will keep that one. in wisconsin, ron johnson is the republican incumbent. at the moment republicans are rushing money in there late but looks like the democrat will pick up that. that gets you 47-46. if clinton wins democrats only need 50. presidential campaign having an impact. missouri usually a red state. this state is in close. trump is underperforming past

republicans. up in new hampshire, kelly ayotte, her numbers in the state are pretty good but trump is dragging republicans down. that gets you 48-46. these races will decide control of the senate. hillary clinton in pennsylvania yesterday, pat toomey the incumbent republican, katie mcginty the democratic candidate. hillary clinton is asking why is this guy standing by donald trump in the wake of horrible things that trump has said. >> how much does he have to hear or to see if he doesn't have the courage to stand up against donald trump after all of this, then how will he stand up to special interests and powerful forces that are going to be trying to have their way in washington? >> it is interesting to watch in the sense this is relatively new for her toby name and going

these states specifically, a sign of confidence on the clinton campaign's part she can take a little bit of time away from her speech focus on the senate. >> no question. it lines up exactly with these competitive races and they believe that this is an opportunity here to saddle all these candidates with donald trump. that's their plan for the next 16 days. she hassell dom talked abo seld senate. the president is going out hard after marco rubio in from a this week. so it is part of their effort here to help her after she's elected. the clinton campaign is saying she's not getting ahead of herself but they are thinking ahead. a lot of times she's off the road, she's doing planning meetings for what's ahead here in part of her transition now is helping the senate candidates because she wants a democratic majority. >> you mentioned the president and marco rubio is down in

florida. that one is more of a long shot. trump is underperforming in florida and democrats think just maybe. they are trying to rush if clinton doesn't need the money in places, the president clearly having fun. listen to the president in miami the other day poking -- remember rubio running against donald trump. >> i will say i'm even more confused by republican politicians who still support donald trump. marco rubio is one of those people. how does that work? how can you call him a c con artist and dangerous and object to all the controversial things he says and then say but i'm still going to vote for him? come on, man. >> now he's having fun. florida is a tougher one but just fact that that race is competitive tells you about the trump effect in the sense that trump is dragging other

republicans down and they are fighting to -- rubio one of the candidates running an ad saying essentially you need me as a check on hillary clinton. >> what democrats are talking about is not just senate race. there's the idea looking ahead if trump loses rubio is someone who will come out and run again in 2020. if you can knock rubio in the primary and senate race that does long term damage to him politically. remember with obama there's no love lost with rubio. rubio was on the gang of eight on immigration and then away. >> you can see the difference how the senate candidates are doing with the top of the ticket, democrats versus republicans. you're seeing democratic candidates campaign with hillary clinton, hag g gy -- maggie hag

will be with elizabeth warren and hillary clinton. the down ticket democrats are banking on hillary clinton having a big margin of victory to ride their coattails into office and in florida that's really the only chance that patrick murphy the democratic candidate has a chance of beating marco rubio. if hillary clinton has a significant margin of victory that could help whim an upset given that national democrats have pulled out money in that race. >> they have been. debating how much do we get away from trump, do we keep distance? missouri of all places which has become reliably red in presidential years. clinton campaign is down only a little bit. same in indiana. mike pence's home state republicans are leading but by a much smaller percentage. in missouri against the democratic candidate essentially almost conceding the fact that hillary clinton is going to be the next president when you don't want to give her a

democratic senate. >> it's surprising how many ways jason candor is just like hillary clinton. constantly running for office and voting against tax relief, mishandling public money. one hillary in washington would be bad enough. reject jason candor. >> you're seeing variations of this in a number of states. essentially republicans throwing trump under the bus. >> missouri is freaking republicans out right now. i talked to a number of them last week said that's the one state that they are very worried about. roy blunt, long time veteran in washington is facing that sort of outsider push that donald trump successfully has used in his campaign but from jason candor who has run a very good campaign that's one reason why he's trying to tie him to the top of the ticket and say look you need to check in washington. it's also a message that republicans are trying to send to their voters. you may not want to vote for

donald trump, you may want to stay home but come out and vote for the senate candidate. >> looking at some polling in ohio where portman seems to be safe. 20% of clinton voters in ohio plan to vote for portman. >> it's amazing. we've been talking about this for several years about ticket splitters and we have strategists that say voters don't ticket split. it happens. voters are showing us how smart and tuned in they are in this election, this idea of republican senate as a check on clinton is probably the strongest argument that republicans have for the next two weeks. >> probably the only argument in some places but, again, sort of difficult. that's one place she will not be going is to missouri. he needs trump voters. >> needs separation. sit tight. donald trump has a severe case of the electoral college blues. is there any way to map out a

dramatic come back. woe like to know when do you plan to vote? vote early or on november 8th or skip and don't vote at all. please vote not just on the quiz but on election day. go to cnn.com/vote. a shower this steamy.up to the f this steamy yep, even this one. if it's a matte finish paint, and can resist any amount of moisture, is it still paint? find aura bath & spa, only at your benjamin moore retailer.

welcome back to "inside politics". 16 days out here's the biggest question. can you find a viable path to victory for donald trump. it's incredibly difficult because of the state of play right now? we have hillary clinton at 307 electoral votes, donald trump at 179. takes 270 to win. can trump turn it around? yes. but it would be extraordinarily hard. number one, out west utah and arizona as toss ups. donald trump has to get these ruby red states back. that's time, energy, money in the final weeks of a campaign. he shouldn't be worrying about those but he has to. then what? he must-win north carolina. clinton has a narrow lead there

right now. he must-win ohio that one is a toss up. being generous give trump all that still not enough. donald trump is about to take a three day bus tour in florida. he needs those 29. he can't win without them. guess what? even if he got them it's not enough. donald trump needs even more than that which is why yesterday he was in pennsylvania. if he could get all those others not easy he could win by winning that. but 20 lectelectoral votes lien democratic. clinton's case talking to trump voters maybe you're reconsidering your vote for him. come on over to me. >> i want to say something to people who may be reconsidering their support for my opponent. i know you may still have questions for me. i respect that. i want to answer them. i want to earn your vote. >> when you talk to the senior trump people, do they still see a viable path or sometimes late

in the campaign if you cover bob dole in 1996, john mccain in 2008 they hope. they are hoping for divine intervention. >> they know. they know it's less a path and more of a tight rope. it's more of a, you know, a no net kind of tight rope. they have the brexit argument that trump likes to push. the fallacy there they would lead. it doesn't translate to this race because the polls aren't twin margin of error. they do think there could be some sort of last minute surge. they defied the polling and pristine past. there's still some belief within that trump inner circle yes they can pull that off. >> you have to feel that way if you're in a campaign. no matter what campaign you think you'll win until the last day. the real problem, the republican states that are at risk of flipping, traditional republican states like arizona or georgia

or even possibly utah, this is the real concern. this map could get completely out of control and be a landslide victory for hillary clinton. in the final days here where does donald trump spend his time in those more traditional battleground, try to preserve those restates from flipping. >> where does he spend his time. in '96 bob dole gave the wink nod take the money from me. trump doesn't care about the republican party and the republican party doesn't care about trump. is this wild card. it's been interesting you talk about you think they know. privately some trump campaigners feel i tried to move him. trying to rehabilitate their own reputation. listen to donald trump, rare is the candidate who talks publicly about the possibility of losing. >> what a waste of time if we don't pull this off. you know, these guys have said doesn't matter if you win or

lose, there's never been a movement like this in the history of the country. i say it matters to me whether we win or lose. so i'll have over $100 million of my own money in this campaign. >> again, just a fact check. he's added about 60 million. he has to write a pretty big check to get to $100 million. >> a lot of is and mes in there. one of the other big challenges here, we think election day is 16 days. it's not. in so many places it's not. this is a trend that's changing. early voting completely under way where 5 million people have voted. the clinton campaign is aggressively trying to capture this and put this energy in a bottle and bank it up right now. if you're sick of this election you'll vote and say stop calling me, move on. that's happening. that's a problem for trump. he loses the chance to change

the narrative. >> i want to put these numbers up. you put these numbers up. 5.1 million votes cast already. 3.4 million from key battleground states. most in florida. more democratic ballots returned than republicans. this is happening at a time -- if you have trump talking we might lose and hillary clinton talking confidently that affects people's mood their sentiment when they go out to early vote. >> chinn campaign believes in some of these states they could know well before election day if they are going to win and i think if you look at her appeal to people who may have been supporting trump and now on fence that's a sign that they feel very confident that their voters are showing up in early voting, that they are on the path to victory and can afford to be making these broader arguments right now. the amount of data churning through the clinton campaign right now is just enormous. >> helps that enthusiasm gap. trump voters are more excited to vote 0 for him than hers. if you have 16 days to get those

people out and mail in the ballot that helps. >> and the is and mes, yesterday he said something without me the movement dies. he said all along this movement is larger than me. >> that's a great thing. what happens after this election the republican party still has a lot of fissure. let's say a republican candidate doesn't want trump to come. he goes north carolina and they prefer he not. with the clinton campaign they have the data, they scored every voter. they know if you're a hot voter or cold voter. if they know you'll vote for her, then they turn you out early voting. in this nuts and bolts phase to have the trump campaign ahave this huge discord. >> portman has run a very good good campaign. knocked on doors. identified voters. has it down a science there.

he's no longer supporting donald trump because of that "access hollywood" video. presumably if they were working in tandem portman could help donald trump. if he does that now it undermines his own message. >> hillary clinton is cautious by nature so does she want to push in arizona? does she want to push in utah? does she want to push in georgia to not only say i beat donald trump or does she want to play it safe and let's get to 280, 290 if we get to 300 great. >> two more fundraisers this week. that's a sign they are trying raise money and they are going to try and win in arizona and other places. they are expanding the map. most people do not believe georgia is possible. they think it's pie in the sky. arizona they think very real. >> they also interestingly as they look at utah think that evan mcmullen has a chance to pick up six electoral votes there. it's really fascinating.

>> some of her winning is trump lotion. >> in arizona what they are doing it encapsulates so many avalanches she has. she can be on the air. sending top notch surrogates like michele obama but she done have to go herself. >> a big win would send a big message in her first year in was to say maybe i have a mandate i can push my own agenda. she limps into office a lot harder to make that case. >> in this cultivate town of washington, d.c. bad hombres, nasty woman. donald trump pick as new target. ♪ if you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis, isn't it time to let the real you shine through?

final days of the campaign you can't blame donald trump if he feels outnumbered. hillary clinton's deep bench includes the president and vice president, a information president named bill clinton and the first lady who at clinton campaign headquarters have considered super surrogate. >> here's the thing about

hillary. she is a policy wonk. and let me tell you just for the record, when you are president that is a good thing. when you are president being able to clearly articulate detailed plans to help the people of this country is a good thing. knowing what you're doing is a good thing. hillary has comprehensive policies to help people. her opponent has tweets. you decide. >> well if the goal was to get under trump's skin, mission accomplished. >> we have a bunch of babies running our country, folks. we have a bunch of losers. they are losers. they are babies. we have a president all he wants to do is campaign, his wife all she wants to do is campaign. and i see how much his wife likes hillary. but wasn't she the one that originally started the statement

if you can't take care of your home, right? you can't take care of the white house or the country. where is that? i don't hear that. i don't hear that. >> i'll take you back in time to that statement he's referring to in just a minute. he sounds a little whiney there, forgive me, mr. trump, you sound a little whiney. if your goal is to win an election and we know african-americans are tepid about hillary clinton you really want to have a recording calling the first lady and president babies. >> you don't want that especially when they are the best messengers for hillary clinton right now. the thing that's so striking about michele obama she's unapologetic about hillary clinton. she's a policy wonk. that's a good thing. she has experience. that's a good thing. for donald trump to go after michele obama is kind of baffling because there's very little benefit when it comes to voters that he needs if he hopes to win this thing. >> this is another problem with

trump having a feud with his party. he doesn't have surrogates to amplify his message. the only person he has is mike pence. you say do surrogates matter. in a lot of ways they don't. in some ways they do. they have big named surrogates to get people out to the polls. >> we've been hearing in the primaries, remember jeff sessions one of his most loyal surrogates didn't endorse trump until a month before the primaries were over. all the people he mocked and shunned they are now shunning him. >> it's not just to give speeches. michele obama was in arizona to get people to early vote. these were organizing tools. the clinton campaign and democrats are running circles around them in terms of music concerts and other things. they are organizing tools. so every time you see her speaking she's in a place for a reason. that's what trump doesn't have. >> they had miley cyrus, whether

you're a fan or not knocking on doors in northern virginia. katy perry in nevada. they have the database. they know who would vote for them if they show up and they know who might not. they knock on doors. michele obama says let's go back in time. michele obama did say what donald trump was talking about. this was back in 2007. the obamas said oh, no she wasn't talking about the clintons. you make the call. >> one of the most important things that we need to know about the next president of the united states is, is he somebody that shares our values? is she somebody that respects family? is a good and decent person? our view is that if you can't run your own house you certainly can't run the white house. >> now that was during the primaries, that was in 2007, that was michele obama speaking at a rally in chicago and a lot of people took that as a shot to hillary clinton for sticking with bill clinton or for bill clinton's issues. the obamas said no, she was

talking generically. but that's in 2007. i'm not sure it will help donald trump to bring it up now. >> the relationships between the obamas and clintons have changed so dramatically since then. there was a lot of tension between them. it's not they are close personally. you can't underestimate the importance to barack obama that hillary clinton after their primary came out, campaigned for him, was enthusiastic and then joined the administration as secretary of state and bill clinton in 2012 giving that rousing speech at the convention there's an evolution in that relationship that makes 2007 just lifetimes ago. >> even if there was a disagreement the idea of having donald trump as the next occupier of the oval office would bring michele obama, you know, out there campaigning. i was going to say something i shouldn't have. she's all in. michele obama is campaigning much more than she planned to. initially she was just going to do a few things.

she wants to keep on. >> i know that almost came out. crank the mike. another one of the clinton campaign surrogates who gets less attention but has the toughest job is joe biden. they sent him into these blue collar towns. joe biden loves it. he loves campaigning and he doesn't like donald trump. >> the press always asks me don't i wish i were debating him. no i wish in high school i take him back behind the gym. that's what i wish. >> you got to love it. happy warrior. >> he wishes he was running for president. but, again, i think this goes back to the same issue that was mentioned before. these surrogates can go across the country and generate a lot of attention. where it is on the donald trump side? >> you talk about how democrats has this database and fine tuning it. the republicans have that same thing too except they are fine tuning it on the senate level.

>> as we mentioned who is donald trump's surrogate. he has mike pence. this is in wisconsin. >> with what my father, what you see is what you get. what you hear is what get. he's incredibly candid. he'll never lie to the american people. he will always be forthright with his opinions and his perspectives, even if that's not what somebody wants to hear it's who he is. he doesn't know how to be another way. >> now the trump kids at the convention got a lot of great press. they kind of disappeared late in the campaign. >> they've been campaigning hard. don jr. has been every where. he's been in a dozen states campaigning. more states doing fundraisers. he's working hard. eric trump and his wife have been campaigning hard. ivanka less so but that's because she's got a family and she also has not wanted to campaign on jewish holidays. but they have played a smaller role than people expected. i think since the convention people thought they would take a

big national role and they just haven't. >> all right. our reporter shares from the notebook nest. paul ryan's survival strategy. when do you plan to vote early on november 8th or if you don't vote at all. majority of you said vote early. good. whatever you do please vote. when the twins arrived, it changed everything, starting with the sleeping arrangements. perfect, right? oh, you can't be serious. fortunately there's fingerhut.com.
