americans say she's not honest and trustworthy. so whether they should trust her or not, the majority don't right now. i think that's probably her biggest challenge when you look at polling. it looks right now like there are a lot of americans that would vote for her who don't believe she's honest and trustworthy which is an interesting gap. i'm not sure that would be true of other candidates. >> thanks for your insight. thanks for joining us. >> take care. >> you too. while russia is cracking down on selfies. you might think losing your cell phone is unlucky, not when one of the hottest soccer stars finds it. we have that next. mind if i have another taste? not at all not when one of the hottest soccer stars finds it. we have that next. . not when one of the hottest soccer stars finds it. we have that next. not when one of the hottest soccer stars finds it. we have that next. do you want to know how hard it can be to breathe with copd? it can feel like this. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
