[ cheering and applause ] secret service rushed trump off the stage. >> nobody said it was going to be easy for us. we will never be stopped. >> hillary clinton and donald trump make their closing arguments to the nation. the race has tightened even more. ♪ >> we are all working our hearts out in the final spript to this election and we need your help. >> we need you all to go and vote tuesday and we are going to win back the white house. >> tonight i want to hear you roar. are you ready?

good morning on a chilly sunday. we're live with you from washington, d.c. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. so good to be with you this sunday, two days before election day. soon we'll switch that counter over to hours instead of days. donald trump is making a big play in the blue states. hillary clinton hoping to draw on more star power for boosts in the battlegrounds. >> let's talk about the latest cnn polls showing the race drawing closer here in this homestretch. hillary clinton leading donald trump 46% to 43% nationally. here's a look at what is on tap today as they've got three points between them hillary clinton in the buckeye staten

cleveland specifically. guess who will be with her? >> lebron james. later, he's heading to new hampshire for an event. >> holding five rallies across the country, in florida, north carolina, pennsylvania, new hampshire before ending the day in michigan. we're getting a list of the states where these candidates and their surrogates will be today. >> everybody is talking about happened at a campaign rally for donald trump in reno, nevada, last night, though. >> during a speech last night, secret service agents rushed trump to safety after someone shouted gun near the front of the stage. you see the agents quickly took a man there on the floor into custody. but they found no weapon. cnn correspondent has details. >> victor, donald trump swinging through the battleground state of nevada had his stump speech

interrupted by someone in the crowd. secret service rushed trump off the stage. reno police and s.w.a.t. teams descended. they took the man into custody. here's why they had such a response and why there was such panic in this crowd. >> we're all very interested in what mr. trump had to say as a guy in a red shirt brushed right next to me screaming there's a guy with a gun. i guess he saw it as the guy had a sign and mr. trump's face covered as they were trying to get his sign down, there was another gentleman by me with an orange shirt who jumped the guy first and then right afterwards, a secret service came down and then police shot right in. >> you didn't see a gun? >> i did not. >> you didn't see any weapon? >> by that point, by the time i got in and shot my video, the guy was already on the floor

with the secret service. >> yeah. i was watching the -- trump speak and i heard swuchb scream, this guy has a gun. i looked to where the guy he was talking about. it didn't look like he had a gun or at least i didn't see a gun. people were screaming he had a gun. immediately after that, trump was taken off stage. everyone starts dispersing saying let's get out of here. i took that opportunity to get closer to the front. it seemed like the armed officers had it under control. >> a law enforcement official tells cnn that no weapon was found. trump returned to the stage. he continued and finished his speech taking the time to thank secret service. >> victor, christi? >> we appreciate it very much. no charges were filed against the man detained at that rally. we know that his name is austin cites. he claims he did not yell gun other than the crowd reacted

negatively toward his sign. >> i just came with a sign. i literally had one sign that said republicans against trump. when i pulled out the sign, people around me were trying to grab the sign. somebody yelled something about a gun. so that's where things really got out of hand. people were just kicking me, grabbing my arms, and finally, i'm thankful for the law enforcement who was able to quickly come. had they not been there, it's possible that these people could have strangled me and killed me on the spot. >> donald trump released a statement after making his final campaign stop yesterday saying i would like to thank the united states secret service and the law enforcement resources in reno and the state of nevada for their fast and professional response. i also want to thank the many thousands of people present for their unwavering and unbelievable support. nothing will stop us. we will make america great again. >> let's talk about this with cnn commentator and -- frank

buckley a foundation professor at george mason university, school of law. also the author of "the way back -- restoring the promise of america." goorng to all. >> i want to start with you greg. first what we saw from donald trump jr. he retweeted a claim that his father survived an assassination attempt. there was no weapon found here. he deleted it. not before it was retweeted thousands of times. then there was this. while introducing trump at a rally in denver late saturday, reverend blamed the media for the attack. >> thinking he raises a speech of hate. tonight i think the hate raised against him caused an attempt of murder against him in nevada.

>> donald trump was praised for the way that he handled this after the threat was deemed not to be a threat, and he came out and spoke and talked about the secret service, that the movement cannot be stopped. but there are distractions. what do you make of how this was handled at the next rally and by donald trump jr.? >> there was no gun, there wasn't a story. i don't want to see people overreacted. they reacted properly. but we found out there was nothing there. as for how a son would react to what he thought was a threat to his father, that's completely natural. there's nothing wrong with that. behind that, there's a concern amongst trump supporters that there is an aura of violence against them if they voice support for trump. we've seen videos of people beaten up and so on. it's a very passionate election. i don't think it makes sense to beat up in the press but nevertheless, you know, when the president suggests that this guy

likes the kkk, we've also -- >> what are you -- >> trump supporters beat upon others at the rallies. you've seen the video, i'm sure. >> multiple times. you know, i think that's probably right that a son was concerned. but even after the trump campaign was informed there was no gun, it was not an assassination attempt, his staff and his son kept playing in up. because they think that this narrative helps them. that there's some giant violent movement out to stop them and they need their support. let's contrast that with what happened the other day when the president and his speech was confronted with a trump supporter. he went out and protected that supporter. he said no, no, no. he gets to have a difference of opinion with me. folks, let him be. it's just staggering that what happens at the trump rally is a

simple sign, the guy is thrown on the ground, beaten and kicked. secret service did what they have to do. if somebody yells gun, they have to protect someone. the crowd's response is so different and donald trump's response is so different than what we saw from the president the other day, which is free speech. >> let me ask you this, though. the president or the president was speaking there was no threat. nobody was yelling gun and he did have to quiet that crowd down. it took him a couple of minutes, did it not? >> but there was no physical reaction, there were no hands. i've been covering trump rallies since day one, my first day at cnn, trump's day that he announced. when i was looking at this last night, it reminded me of the earlier rallies where we have footage of protesters being assaulted, pushed and attacked. this is not the new -- this is not the new normal. it's what a lot of people, at least those in the media and those actively protesting. but it looks like we have returned to a point in the campaign that we thought we

passed. >> i don't know what donald trump was supposed to be doing when he was being rushed off the stage. was he supposed to push off the secret servicemen and say no, no. >> i don't think anybody is saying that. >> by the way, protest. but these rallies, these last few days are really to motivate candidates to get what people are saying. this guy, obviously got in pretty close. so i understand that people are nervous about that. but i think it's the victimization that the trump people do and pretend that it doesn't happen on the other side that i find more offensive. >> we got to take a quick break. stay with us. we'll continue the conversation after this. as a marriott rewards member, i can embrace a world full of surprising moments. the new marriott portfolio of hotels now has 30 brands in over 110 countries. so no matter where you go, you are here. join or link accounts today.

michigan slides from an easy democratic win to a battleground state. we shouldn't say easy. none of them are easy. last-minute visits planned for president obama, hillary clinton, former president bill clinton as well. >> donald trump and his running mate mike pence making multiple stops. recent polling shows that michigan could be within reach for trump. he won the state in the gop primary. clinton lost it to bernie sanders. again, let's bring our panel back. eugene, hillary, frank, let's talk about michigan. there's no early voting there for one thing. if he wins michigan, hillary clinton drops 258 in electoral votes. talk to us about the importance of this state. >> he's not going to win michigan. every presidential cycle, republicans go after michigan and then don't win it. >> but this isn't every

political cycle. >> it's not. you're right. but there's a base in michigan that is not going to waver. look, the more we keep donald trump in michigan, the better off we are as democrats, right? let him try. let him focus on it. but between a very hardcore urban population, unmarried women and a large muslim population in the suburbs of detroit, donald trump is not going to win michigan. >> you just saw there the race at 6 between trump and clinton. frank, i want you to respond to something that robby mook said on the jet last night. let's listen. >> there really -- some of these urban women and independents and even republican leading independents who we've been able to hold. we have seen it consolidate there. part of why we want to be in

grand rapids, we have an opportunity to pull in some -- >> so my hope is that you had heard, i have it here. the transcript on my phone. we didn't hear it really well. our strength with the suburban women and independents, the republican leaning independents who we've been able to hold, he said, part of why we wanted to be in grand rapids is because we think we have an opportunity to pull out some late deciders. what does donald trump see there that the clinton campaign does not after president obama won it in '08 and 2012? >> first of all, i don't think anybody can say what's going to happen in michigan. i agree it's traditionally a democratic state. there seems to be a new republican party that's emerging and that it's one with greater roots in ordinary americans of every color who have lost their jobs in recent years. he seems to be reaching out to them in the way that republicans in the past haven't. that's changed the map. so how that's going to turn out,

i don't know. but i'm delighted that the republican candidate this year is not simply walking in with a 59-point plan, you know, directed at or ignoring the 47% of takers. this is a wonderful change in my view. >> does he have a ground game to get the voters out on tuesday? that is essentially what many of these states come down to. >> certainly, that's what sean spicer said. they have a ground game and play close attention to what obama did in '08 and 2012. they mimic that. do they have as effective of a ground game as the clinton campaign. it is a diverse state, there are a lot of working class votes. but there are a lot of black voters and millennial voters. it's a big college state. there are a lot of women voters. those demographics historically have gone to the blue candidate. >> we know -- we have obama in ann arbor on monday. bill clinton in lansing on

monday as well. donald trump and mike pence, that's it. is that making a difference, the fact that they are, in a sense, solo when we talk about all of the people that are out there campaigning for hillary clinton? >> it's not even about the small number of surrogates, it's about the lack of diversity among surrogates. you're seeing that the clinton campaign has everyone from jay z to bill clinton hit the trail on their behalf reaching various demographics trying to get people who perhaps would not normally come out to come out. where donald trump is going to have to do, is go beyond his base. he cannot win without going beyond his base. >> hilary, you're with us all morning. i just got a wrap from my producer. if the clinton campaign is so confident about michigan, why are they deploying so many resources in the top names there? a bit of a tease for you to stay with us. >> good question. >> it's all been leading up to this election day in america. >> we'll have every race, every

result. stay with cnn until the last vote is counted. donald trump knocking u.s. officials as a group of losers, that's his phrase, for not launching a surprise attack in mosul. he's convinced the offense which is led by the iraqis was launched for political reasons to benefit hillary clinton. >> plus, our cnn crew caught in 28 hours really of hell. trapped right in the middle of a firefight between isis and iraqi soldiers. we have that exclusive report from mosul coming up for you next. leayour whole house and every room that's in it floors, doors, walls, halls he's so tough, he cleans 'em all mr. clean! make earning bonus cash back so why do scomplicated?k cards they limit where you can earn bonus cash back to a few places...

one of the reasons we're going to mosul, we want to get the isis leaders we think are staying in mow sell and we want to get them. before the announcement is over, they've gone. whatever happened to the element of surprise? the element of surprise. what a group of losers we have. >> that was donald trump criticizing u.s. officials for their handling of the iraqi led offense into mosul to retake that city from isis. the refrain about the element of surprise is nothing new. you probably heard that from the republican nominee several times this cycle. he's been openly critical of the military operation despite forces on the ground making really important gains. >> yesterday, trump also said that he was convinced that t the -- it was launched for

political reasons and hillary clinton suggested she would get credit for success. let's talk about mosul. iraqi forces inside mosul, a stiffer distance -- the terror group held that city more than two years now and set up defenses and booby traps throughout it. arwa damon saw firsthand as iraqi troops face a hardened enemy. >> she and photojournalist bryce were caught inside a firefight. >> arwa told poppy harlow about this. >> our photographer, cameraman were with this unit of iraqi counterterrorism forces and what happened was, isis ambushed them in a very complex attack on one of these narrow streets that they were going down and they managed to split the convoy in

two. i have to say that this is the most harrowing experience that i personally have been through despite having covered war zones for more than a decade. what happened was once they managed to split the convoy in two with rocket propelled gren aids, they began to systematically take out the humvees, vehicles starting on both ends and moving towards those in the middle forcing the soldiers and eventually us out of our vehicles on to the streets and into the buildings, basically putting the froops in more vulnerable positions. then the isis fighters were moving in and attacking the buildings that the troops were sheltering in. at the end of a very long 24 hours, the bottom line is that we were under siege with around 22 wounded soldiers. >> that's just a remarkable --

we have even more of arwa's incredible reporting on this assault in mosul that will air later today in the 4:00 p.m. eastern hour with the lead with jake tapper. >> and check out the hour by hour account as they were surrounded by the isis fighters. that's on cnn.com right now. melania trump back on the campaign trail and she got a lot of praise from her husband. sweet little exchange. some people are saying there between the two. which makes some wonder, this exchange and melania herself, that had any effect on women voters. the ultimate surprise. for your eyes. new olay eyes ultimate eye cream. for instant results of the number one prestige eye cream,

good morning. 5:29 is the time. we're grateful you're awake and with us. i'm christi paul. >> it is an early morning. i'm victor blackwell, happy to be with you from washington, d.c. the candidates and their surrogates are blitzing the battleground states. >> that every voter, their vote matters. this shows the race is getting even closer in the homestretch. hillary clinton leading donald trump just 46% to 43% nationally. >> when we started this show yesterday, it was a five-point gap here. now down to three. for the trump campaign, their latest efforts include getting out his wife, melania trump back on to the trail. she made a second appearance in one week yesterday in wilmington, north carolina. melania defending her husband's character. listen. >> donald is a wonderful

husband, father and grandfather. he's strong. he's determined. bold and decisive. he's also compassionate, thoughtful, giving and loving. donald cares -- [ cheering ] >> the campaign is hoping melania trump can persuade undecided women voters and that's especially important in the battleground states. of course, pennsylvania. >> the latest cnn poll showing that trump is losing the women vote by double digits there. his female supporters, though, are confident that's not actually the case. cnn respondent randi kaye spoke to some of his voters. >> don't underestimate a woman. >> this woman may love donald trump but he needs more women to support him, especially here in pennsylvania where polls show trump trailing hillary clinton by double digits among women.

>> what do you think the trouble is? why is donald trump so far behind hillary clinton among women in the state of pennsylvania? >> i don't think he is. i think they portray that he is. i don't think he is. >> not a single woman we spoke with trusts the polls. including this woman who switched from democrat to republican to vote trump. >> white suburban women could be the key to donald trump's victory in the state of pennsylvania. you think that he has their back? >> absolutely, absolutely. >> you think the polls are wrong? >> absolutely. i think everybody thinks the polls are wrong. >> wrong, they say, because trump is better for women than hillary clinton. >> come down to earth ladies and think about what that woman has done for you in the last 12 years. nothing. nada, zippo. for those on the fence, not sure who to vote for, what do you say? >> safety first. they got to keep us safe. >> this woman still neesds convincing. >> how does it feel to be undecided four days before

election day? >> scary and sad. >> lisa isn't sold on donald trump even though this is her fourth trump rally. >> how does donald trump win your vote at this point? >> it's not how he wins my vote, it's how hillary is not going to win my vote. >> it's not for him, it would be against hillary clinton. >> yes. >> what is it about donald trump that you have questions about? >> his experience. with foreign mostly. the foreign policies and how he says he knows more than the generals and i just don't -- i know that -- there's things he shouldn't say. >> her son josh isn't old enough to vote but is pressuring his mom to vote trump. >> i feel she'll make the right decision tuesday. i know she's going to make the right decision tuesday. >> you'll work on her until then? >> yeah. she's going to vote for trump. believe me. she's going to vote for trump. >> the republican nominee has days to convince more women to

vote for him. how does he do that? >> i think probably for him, maybe keep his mouth shut about the women. >> our thanks to randi kaye for that report. >> how does donald trump win over women in this final stretch? let's talk to your panel about that. hilary rosen and amy cremor, donald trump supporter, co-founder of women vote trump. president emeritus of young democrats of america and also a hillary clinton supporter. that woman said something, the undecided very interesting there. it sounds as though she's desperately searching for an alternative because she's not convinced about hillary clinton and at the end of the day, the only alternative she has is donald trump. she's been to four rallies, he hasn't convinced her yet. amy, what on earth could donald trump say in these final as we're edging here to the final 48 hours, what can he say to women like her to bring them on board? >> well, i think he needs to make his closing argument, which

is what he's been out there doing and talking about our national security and jobs and the economy. the health care, education, those are the four issues that women mostly are concerned about. he needs to go out there and continue to do it. he's talked about it. he's said it. but christi, you can't deny that the american people do not -- these are the most unliked candidates in history. the two most unliked candidates in history. >> both of them? >> right. you have a binary choice eventually. the third option, they're not going to win. somehow -- it's unbelievable that there are still undecides. >> i don't know if it is unbelievable. with everything we've seen. >> i'm in georgia, which is another state that people are wondering which way it's going to go. i can't tell you how many i've talked to that you've written someone in. when do you that, you're throwing away your vote essentially. >> women are not quite as

undecided as you make them out to be. barack obama beat mitt romney 12 points among women. that was the gender gap. 12 points. hillary clinton is leading donald trump by 33 points among women. 33 points currently. it's not because they're undecided. it's because they see what he's done. they listen and can't get that tape from that bus out of their head. they don't want that for their daughter and nothing about his policies and other things will make them feel better if they can't feel good about who they're voting for. i don't see the numbers changing. >> let me bring you into this. during the primary between clinton and sanders, we heard from college-aged women, millennial women that they believe there will be a woman president one day. sanders supporters mostly, said

we're not convinced it has to be this woman. how did hillary clinton bring those women into her camp and how pervasive is that sentiment still? >> one of the key things with millennials, this is about post roe v. wade, post the aids crisis, post so many social movements in this country. grown up with friends who are immigrants and in gay families. it's just having friends who are of a diverse set, grown up with single moms. you know, we might have our economic kind of perspectives varied, but when you come down to the social issues and what we care about and everybody being part of the greater american fabric, we tend to vote democrat when we come out. when you look at donald trump and things he said, making fun of people's disabilities, making fun of women, housing discriminations, people of color, the central park 5 case. you're looking at a guy who doesn't represent the part of the america you're part of.

>> i want to say, though, we can sit up here and talk about all of this all day long. but don't discredit women and think that all they care about is what somebody said on a bus 12 years ago or however long ago. at the end of the day, women decide on issues that matter to them. how it affects their children and their families, their pocketbooks, the kitchen table issues. i mean, that's what they're focused on. they want to know their family is safe and secure. hilary, while you are saying they care about this, they want to know, should their son or daughter go into harm's way, that hillary clinton is going to accept that 3:00 a.m. phone call and not put their children's lives in danger. >> that's right. >> she didn't do that. >> well, i don't agree with that. history has shown that that's not true. but i agree that fundamentally, most women want what most men want, which is a safe and secure

environment for their families, economic opportunity and education for their kids. i think hillary clinton has focused a plan more specifically about that. i think she talks about women and families more on the trump -- than donald trump does. [ overlapping talking ]. >> from that point on, we notice that there are women who support trump and who support him very strongly. we're going to continue this conversation on the other side of the break. we're not cutting it off. we want to make sure we've got some time to get there. in churches, the synagogues, the mosques, they're turning to faith to help them get out the vote. how religious communities are getting souls to the polls. that's coming up next. hey honey, yes, dear. you're washing that baked-on alfredo by hand, right? yes, dear. dish issues? cascade platinum powers through your toughest stuck-on food. so let your dishwasher be the dishwasher.

this turned out great. cascade. the world is full of surprising moments. they're everywhere. and as a marriot rewards member, i can embrace them all. the new marriott portfolio of hotels now has 30 brands in over 110 countries. so no matter where you go, you are here. join or link accounts at members.marriott.com. ""you don't want to ride the 13l checkiforever, do you?"ore?" "credit karma huh?" "yeah, it's free." "credit karma. give youself some credit." they keep telling me "drink more water." "exercise more." i know that. "try laxatives..." i know. believe me.

it's like i've. tried. everything! my chronic constipation keeps coming back. i know that. tell me something i don't know. (vo) linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation, or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under 6 and it should not be given to children 6 to 17. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess.

sdwo days until election day. the political lines are deeper nan they have been. hillary clinton and donald trump are feverishly trying to get as many voters to the polls as they can on tuesday. >> yeah. final days here and a lot of -- many are leaning on their faith, let's say, to get through this vote. evangelicals trying to get as many, as they've dubbed it, souls to the polls, as they can. here's more. >> it's a final push to shuttle parishioners from the pews to the polls. today, early voting ends in a few remaining states ahead of tuesday's general election. faith leaders have one last chance to drive voters to polling elections after sunday's

service. it's part of the so-called souls to the polls movement. it's adding to already high early voter turnout. >> today is our first day of souls to the polls. we're excited to see so many people out, hundreds of people left trinity. 400 people were here. we're on the way to vote. >> hillary clinton and donald trump each fought for supporters. >> father, we thank you in the name of jesus. >> visits to churches and houses of worship became regular stops for the two candidates on the campaign trail. final stretch will keep volunteers busy, too. clinton campaign tells cnn, they expect close to a million volunteer shifts leading up to election day. the republican national committee expects their volunteers will knock on nearly 17 million doors before tuesday. each candidate directly spending much of their remaining campaigns in battleground states. >> i'm asking you to dream big

because with your vote, we are just three days away from the change you've been waiting for for your entire life. >> i want to be the president for everybody. everybody who agrees with me, people who don't agree with me, people who vote for me, people who don't vote for me. >> it's a massive get out the vote effort as election day nears. paolo sandoval, atlanta. reliable republican voters for decades, but many are at an impasse this year as to who they want to choose. >> so let's bring back now our panel to answer the question. how will evangelicals vote on election day? hilary rosen, cnn political commentator. amy cremor, donald trump supporter and co-founder of the women vote for and president emeritus of young democrats of america.

a hillary clinton supporter. amy, i'll come to you first with get out the vote effort. we've seen and discussed at length, donald trump's get out the vote effort and strategy of infrastructure and in some states the lack thereof versus hillary clinton. how can he bring out these evangelicals? he did well during the primary. how is he going to get them out on election day. >> we've also heard, while he may not have the huge infrastructure, the republican party has been out there since 2013 with people in the field working, leading up to this day. so the republican party is doing part of that. then you've got all the senate races, too, that are going on in these states. i think people are motivated because they truly want change. they're not looking for -- it's not like they're waiting on somebody to take them by the hand and take them to the polls. they know what they have to do to go vote. you've seen the numbers across the country. the early voting is off the charts. so i think people are motivated because they truly want change.

i think that's the biggest thing right there is that they want change and they know that hillary clinton is going to be four more years of an obama administration. >> how much do you think faith plays a role in the choices that are made at the ballot box? >> definitely african-american community pretty strongly. when you have social justice movement coming out of the african-american church in the '60s and kind of still is the tradition today. you pretty much faith pretty much tied to that. i have friends in north carolina who are participating in souls to the polls events. early voting, especially going back to 2008, with obama has become very, very important for african-americans. it's a good reason to get folks out there pretty early and using the church to go afterwards and be like all right, we're all together, we're going to go to the polls. >> hilary, she makes a good point. especially in the african-american communities, souls to the polls has been a way to get voters to the polls

and they've employed president obama, they've employed michelle obama and jay z and beyonce and pharrell. but still, even with in the context of this conversation, african-american numbers for hillary clinton are a bit soft, the enthuse yam numbers are soft. >> she got over the hump with bernie sanders and black churches are going to deliver hillary clinton to the presidency in so many ways. the numbers in florida have rebounded for african-american tu turnout. it was soft the first few days. the last few days, it's rebounded back to 2012 levels. we're going to see the same thing in north carolina as well. michigan is important, which is why i think you see the principals going there this week to get a little more enthusiasm going. in the african-american community, the churches have been an extremely important and in the latino community, in

catholic churches. very important also. >> i was going to say it's also important to note we're comparing this to 2012 levels. african-american turnout was historic in '08 and '12. if it was lower than it was in '06 or '04 we'd be concerned. but we're holding paragraph to what happened in '12, we feel great. >> let me ask you. if donald trump missed some opportunity in the lead-up to tuesday with the strength he had with evangelicals in the primary and did -- do you believe he had an opportunity to at least grow or get more than he's getting now in african-american support? >> i think he has had an opportunity and he's gone out there and gone into some of these churches and talked to the community. we've seen it over the past couple of months. >> what's been the fruit of that? >> what do you mean what's been the fruit? he's talking about how it's going to change their lives.

give them an opportunity that -- what has the democratic party done for them? so he's talked about that repeatedly, and he's criticized if he doesn't do it, but if he's criticized if he does do it. we all know, if you're running for office, you take your case to the voters and ask them for their vote. that's exactly what he's done. i don't know what else he can do. the only way we know for sure is for him to be elected. >> the way he -- >> let me say this. we know that donald trump is not politically correct. that's not how he got where he is. he doesn't -- he's an equal opportunity offender. he says things against men and against women. he speaks what is on his mind. that's something the american people find refreshing. that he's not spinning all the time. >> that's not his problem in the black communities. look, i applaud donald trump for

going to communities that republicans have historically not sought. i think it's good that the gop is out there. we need more talk about poverty in this country and we need more talk about opportunity. the problem is that the way he communicates with communities of color shows a not just a lack of empathy but a lack of understanding about the diversity in the community and the diversity of the issues. you can't help if you don't know what's going on. >> ten seconds, but i know you want to say something. >> i was going to add that you can have a conservative argument on income and equality and improving education and all of that. when you're giving a speech like on urban development in a predominantly white audience, he needs to go where they're at. that's the point. >> that's been a theme throughout the election that people have been saying. >> everyone. >> ladies, thank you so much. thank you. >> we'll be right back.
