>> 48 days until the election and less than one week out until

they have been going after that with reckless abandon with commercials and everything. the direction of the son replays on everything. national security 47 clinton 47 trump. with the economy trump continues to beat her. 51 percent to 44 percent. this is what you have to focus on, right? >> if you were doing a job interview for president and you were talking about the economy, you are probably going to defer to someone who has been hands on for business and created jobs and been responsible for paychecks. you would think it would be an advantage for donald trump. what he is trying to do is play the little guy card the normal class warfare democrats pos late

agains republicans that they are standing up for those who don't have a voice. little guy against the system. i don't know where that comes down but it should favor donald trump because of background in business and success and the fact that again it ties into the referendum on the system piece where the gap is increasing. that will be an interesting part of the debate. >> that will develop as we approach the debate that is the issue of national security and security at home. we had the terrorist attack at the minnesota mall. who will fair best and what do they need to tackle when it comes to the final topic which is security? >> every time isis sends us a message or a dose of terrorism is a good day for the challenger. in this case donald trump. what secretary clinton will have to do is not defend a record the

americans increasingly find as suspect in terms of controlling domestic much less international terrorism. she is going to have to bring it. she is going to have to show she will be no nonsense, strong and unwavering when it comes to taking this out. anything less than a rational for explaining what is simply not working in terms of creating confidence among americans and security as well is going to be in favor of the challenger. you might say intellectually the outsider has the advantage. we all know this debate which is like monday night politics is determined more as much by style as it will by substance. >> how exciting, though. can you imagine the size of the audience watching the debate. >> it is about 18 minutes after the top of the hour. flag furry.
