3:27 am
voter fraud fears and this and that, donald trump appears to have walked it back a bit. you walk it back a lot. everybody that works for donald trump has walked it back a lot. but our new nbc surveymonkey poll showed nearly half of trump supporters will believe the election is rigged if he doesn't win. do you expect some responsibility or does the campaign accept some responsibility for that number being so high with so little evidence to prove it? >> no. people already think that the entire system is rigged against them and they're right. meaning the corrupt, rigged system. the elections every four years are part of that. it's the essence of the candidacy, chuck. >> but do you believe the elections are rigged in this country? >> i believe -- well, i don't like a lot of the information, the objective information about the dead people on the rolls -- >> all of that has been debunked. people die -- 2.5 million people
3:28 am
die every year on the voter rolls so it takes time to get dead people off the voter polls. >> it takes our government an awful lot of time to do most things competently. that's part of the problem here. but when it comes to the elections i think if you went through every single hypothetical possible with my colleague robby mook or his client, hillary clinton, they would walk back we're going to accept the election results. if you said, if you lost by half a point in this state or if it came down to 500 some votes in that state we don't know. so of course we respect the principles of american democracy and if we're concerned about the american democracy as so many chest beaters were this week, ask hillary clinton why she takes fens of millions of dollars from countries that hate women and disrespect women and throw gays of off of building. that's using the state department as a concierge for foreign donations not really respecting our american democracy. >> kellyanne conway, i will leave it there. thanks for coming on the show.

stewart stevens, first time joining us. eliana johnson, welcome to the table for the first time. and tom friedman. all right. we have -- stewart you have been in her role before. interest pret wh interpret what she said when it came to donald trump's 100 day speech. >> look, your job she has is to spin whatever happens. i hate going out with those accusations that you are going to sue everybody. it's the craziest way to begin a substantive speech. a groom showing up at the rehearsal dinner with a stripper and thinking the wetding ining going to okay. was this scripted? does he just do it? i really have no idea.
3:33 am
it stops you from being able to deliver a clear message. >> she was trying to say that, yes, he should stay on the issues and the ideas she didn't want to say -- she didn't want to go behind him and say he should not have brought up these women. but that's what happened. in the debate -- you could tell he was kind of sticking to the issues. he was at his best when he was talking about abortion, talking about guns. conservatives like that. then he started saying he might not accept the results of the election. that turned the whole headline into that. when he sticks on his issues, he is at his best. everybody that's working for him is trying to get him to do that. trump is going to do down the way he wants to. >> i laid out this morning the coverage ever his speech yesterday. only "the wall street journal" did the headline as the agenda and subhead as the lawsuits. everybody else was the lawsuits was the headline, the agenda was subhead. that's a problem right there. >> you know, people always ask, are these things scripted? does he plan it? are his aides in on that?
3:34 am
no. when trump acts like trump, he puts his ai s his aides in these positions. very, very uncomfortable for the people that work for him. that's kind of the position you put yourself in when you work for a guy like that. >> i want to move to tim kaine. you spent a lot of time traveling the world. this tpp issue, nobody has ever truly believed -- if you covered hillary clinton long enough, nobody believed that her switch on this was anything other than political. did anything tim kaine said convince you otherwise? >> not in the least. if i were an oil company and i had a huge spill on the coast of california, i'm hiring her. i have never seen anybody able to talk her way out of a bad client. the real truth i think chuck, when be look back at this election, it will be the election that both parties blew up. donald trump blew up the republican party. bernie sanders kind of blew up the democratic party. it was patched over because of
3:35 am
the urgency of defeating donald trump who was a greater threat. trade will be a central part of what will see that fracture. it's the first place it will appear. >> we will see it right away. as you know, right after -- it's the november trip, being a white house correspondent, i hated it. it's the long trip. president obama will be talking up tpp the whole time. immediately, the president and potentially the president-elect -- no matter who wins the presidency -- are going to be at odds over a huge deal around the world. >> i actually think that that's exactly right. because of the crisis in the republican party is garnering all the headlines, the democrats are overlooking the looming crisis in their party because i think the primary between bernie sanders and hillary clinton really showed that hillary clinton is where the head of the democratic party is. but the people really are with bernie sanders, particularly on trade. you saw tim kaine say, well, we're not for tpp. an asian trade agreement, yeah, probably for that.
3:36 am
the democratic party -- their heart is against that. that's going to be a bloody fight. the same is true in the republican party. >> i've been talking to progressives who tell me they are organizing against hillary clinton. they are saying, we will have to push her every step of the way. we don't trust her. this idea about tpp, they're not going to like tim kaine's answer. they are thinking that, i don't trust these people. i don't know what they're going to do when they get in there. >> tpp represents the single greatest liberal achievement on trade since we have negotiated trade agreements. the first deal that has real labor protection and real environmental protection. that's exactly what obama will be selling the morning after. >> ironically, stu, i have had democrats say this to me, especially in this issue, if you are hillary clinton, secretly you hope paul ryan is still the speaker of the house, you need one republican majority to basically tell progressives, this is as far as i can go. >> what's extraordinary about this debate on trade is the republican is really to the left of the democrat. he is up there saying bernie
3:37 am
sanders is right. he wants 45% tariffs. i don't -- i think it would be good to have someone like paul ryan there who can argue a more conservative viewpoint of why we need this. >> let's go into numbers. stewa we got early voting numbers here. over 4 million people have cast their ballot so far. we know the partisan break down of the voters. you can see how the candidates are stacking up to years past. with data provided by a democratic firm called target smart, florida's vote, republicans and democrats are pomi in polling about the same, 42-42, 39-40. look at north carolina, republicans accounted for 50% of all absentee vote in 2012. now it's closer. it's proof that it looks like the democrats have the mechanic advantage. >> all of our modelling in presidential politics, two equal
3:38 am
campaigns. we have never had a situation where the trump campaign doesn't have much of an organization. it's more of a concert tour. what are the implications of that? some have argued as trump did in the primary, it doesn't matter. we're going to see the first test of that because say what you will about the clinton campaign, they have designed a very effective machine. with top people. and i think that republicans are greatly disadvantaged in these states because we never went through the presidential campaign of raising money and giving it to the states to build this. we will see how it plays out in the early numbers. >> how much pan do you hear from senate candidates? >> absolutely. i would add one note of caution about the early voting numbers. we don't know how any of these people went into the ballot box and pulled the lever. this is based on the party somebody is affiliated with. one of the things people have speculated about are democrats going to vote like traditional
3:39 am
democrats? are republicans going to vote like traditional republicans? just a note of caution on that. to stu's point, this is like a political science experiment in whether ground game matters. what you have heard from senate candidates are they have had to build out presidential-type ground games in each and every state. that's tremendously difficult. >> i will wrap this up. we will know on election day if her lead increases from what the national polls say. then it will tell us that ground games do matter. with the beach boys who sang "catch a wave." if the democrats catch a wave, could they sit on top of the senate and house? that's next. first, more from last night's snl. >> so you are just never going to answer a question about your

8,500 patient volunteers, and the hope of millions. and so after it became a medicine, someone who couldn't be cured, could be. me. ♪ we are back. data download time. hillary clinton is holding on to a solid lead. so democrats are looking to run up the score down the ballot. their chances to take back the senate look good. what would turn 2016 into an actual wave election that could
3:43 am
help democrats get the 30 seats they would need to win a house majority? our pal at the cook political report rated these 19 house districts across the country as pure tossup races. 17 are held by republicans. just two by democrats. if this does become a wave election, democrats would probably win the lion share of those races. throw those in. add in several seats that democrats are likely to win largely because of redistricting that took place in florida and virginia and the democrats could net 21 seats just in those two categories. however, for this truly to be a wave election, democrats are going to have to score upsets in places republicans normally win. so these are the 12 lean republican races across the country. there are three that i'm going to pay special attention to on election night. kansas city, des moines and indiana's ninth district which
3:44 am
includes bloomington. these are the races to watch to see if democrats win two of these three or all three of them, then it will tell you a lot about moderate republican turnout. it may have not been there which could, in turn, mean a bad night for the republicans across the board. we did see big waves in 2006 when the democrats took back the house and senate and in 2010 when republicans flipped the house back by a huge margin. despite all this, history may not be on the democrat's side. the last time the house of representatives changed hands in a presidential election year, 1952. ask yourself, is this an eisenhower wave that's come sng when we come back, we will talk about whether there is a real possibility to rig a general election in the united states. as we go to break, here is another light moment from last night's snl. >> all of the newscasters are making me look so bad. >> how are we doing that?

>> by taking all of the things i say and all of the t before fibromyalgia, i kept on top of things. i was a doer. then the chronic, widespread pain slowed me down. my doctor said moving more helps ease fibromyalgia pain. she also prescribed lyrica. fibromyalgia is thought to be the result of overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. for some, lyrica can significantly relieve fibromyalgia pain and improve function, so i feel better.

lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain and swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can be more active. ask your doctor about lyrica. mary buys a little lamb. one of millions of orders on this company's servers. accessible by thousands of suppliers and employees globally. but with cyber threats on the rise, mary's data could be under attack. with the help of at&t, and security that senses and mitigates cyber threats, their critical data is safer than ever. giving them the agility to be open & secure. because no one knows & like at&t.

3:48 am
back now with our panel. before we get to the election rigging stuff, i want to talk about what i just did on the data download, the house. it's a long shot. not since 1952 has the house changed in a presidential election. if it does, who leads the republican party? >> i find myself with two minds when i think of that. one is, you would like to have republicans have skin in the game. both for the reasons you talk about, to discipline the left wing of the democratic party but also that we can't get anything big done without that. but i have another mind. maybe this party just needs to crash and burn. this version of the republican party needs to die so out of the ashes just as a new democratic party came out of the post-mcgovern era, that we will get a democratic leadership council movement, a sane
3:49 am
republican party. >> there you go. >> that's going to happen regardless whether republicans lose the house -- >> will there be 75% of the party are trump voters. it's 25% that think the way you think. >> what i think is going to happen is the party is crashing and burning right now. donald trump i think will preach to the converted after the election. but the party is going to have to -- trump supporters i think haven't gotten the attention that they deserve from the party. the party is going to grapple with how to incorporate trump supporters and parts of trumpism on trade and immigration in particular. that needs to happen. i think both parties have neglected the voters. many of them are former democrats. >> what's best for the republican party, total collapse or keep paul ryan there to be the guy that sort of -- >> where the republican party goes is up in the air. it's got to be reality based. i just keep going back to this, 1980, ronald reagan won 44 states with 56% of the white vote.
3:50 am
mitt romney got 59% and lost. a lot of these conversations you hear about the republican party are like you are on the interstate, you have 100 miles to go and you only have 45 miles of gas. the car doesn't care. it's going to stop. republicans have to decide we can reach out to more non-white voters and will elections or not. there's no alternative. >> when i go to these rallies for pence and for donald trump and i talk to people, they don't feel as though the republican party really stuck with them. they feel like the party just doesn't understand the anxiety they are feeling about the economy and also about health care and what they're going to take care of their families. they sound like people who voted for obama. i was talking to people about whether they voted for obama. they thought there was going to be change. the republican party, 75% of them don't sound like the people that the establishment says they are. >> it's interesting you bring that up.
3:51 am
iowa and ohio haven't sort of -- hillary clinton hasn't taken off during this spell. that means, there are obama voters from '12 who they painted mitt romney as the guy that fired you, those people are with trump, because he is talking the way obama talked about romney. >> there's not an enormous segment but a significant segment of the electorate that feels, when trump talks about a rigged election, that doesn't feel necessarily that the election is going to be rigged but that the system is rigged against them. they haven't gotten the attention from either party that they deserve. i think that's scorned by elites in both parties. i don't think that the debate is over whether or not the republican needs to reach out to minority voters or to these voters, but it's how to do that. immigration reform, the magic bullet? does moderating the party stance on entitlement reform or welfare state, is that more constructive? >> it does seem as if -- i

thought one of your -- i thought ross had an -- he said the risk with hillary clinton is the idea of group think about globalization. this is what some skeptical trump people who still may vote for him are thinking about. you know what? maybe she's not going to rethink how globalism works. >> i would take it one step deeper, if i could. i think we're in the middle of the single greatest technological inflection point. the workplace is being transformed. what bill clinton said in 1992 just doesn't apply anymore. what did he say at that convention? if you work hard and play by the rules you should be in the middle class. good luck with that. you have to work harder, reengineer, retool. and i used to say, when i graduated from college, i got to find a job. my daughters have to invent a
3:53 am
job. that's what's new. you may get your first job but you have to reinvent and nobody wants to trust the people with that truth. it's really scary. >> does the clinton campaign get this? >> it's hard to say that they get this. if you hear them talking about the economy or you hear -- if you hear them talking about giving people opportunities, they still believe that if you go to college or if you do this, it sounds like they are saying, you can -- >> sounds like bill clinton. >> yeah. this is the america you can have. there's this american dream. when you talk to people who have four degrees or master's programs and they can't find jobs or they're living in the basement of their parents' house, those are people who voted for bennrnie sanders or a solid trump supporters. 45 seconds with our end game segment, including something that hasn't happened since harry truman's first year in office. >> coming up, "meet the press" >> coming up, "meet the press" end game, brought to you by - the best way to power down at night? no, not wine, but that does work too. one little switch.

plug electronic equipment into a power strip. turn it off every night. you'll save money and time for wine. the more you know. "meet the press" enter game is brought to you by boeing, building the future one century at a time. >> back now with end game. despite the talk about hillary clinton wanting to work across

the aisle, should paul ryan stay or go, it's clear clinton and obama are looking for a wave. look how much president obama is suddenly appearing in down ballot tv ads. here is a montage. >> terry is running for congress. we need more people like her in washington. vote for brad and the democrats. so we can keep america's promise to our seniors. [ speaking spanish ] charlie your vote. please stand with him. i know he will always stand with you. >> this reminds me of mitt romney 2014. he was popular enough to use in the down ballot ads. he suddenly is popular in swing state ads. >> it's a huge advantage for any party to have a popular incumbent president. if you are a clinton advance person, it's a sweet spot to be in for the next few weeks. you can call and say, do you
3:56 am
want the president, do you want the first lady, do you want bernie sanders, do you want bill clinton? how about joe biden? you can build a rally with those people. they have constituencies. it's really starkly different when you see what's happening with the trump campaign and who he is traveling with. it limits the audience appeal. >> how do the senate candidates handle this that president obama is playing ds ining -- he calle marco rubio. this has to make that vice grip tighter. >> republican candidates are constrained not only by democratic strings but by trump's weaknesses. voters want a check on a clinton presidency. republican candidates can't say that. there's a segment trump voters who will vote against them, threaten to vote against them if they say that. they cannot go out and campaign on essentially conceding the election to hillary clinton. they are running ads on
3:57 am
republican senate candidates being a check. they would have to say it forthrightly. they cannot do that. >> nevada senate, tom, the republican nominee, he came out against when trump and the sexual assault language came out, he said -- he said it was personal for him. his wife had been a victim of sexual assault. he couldn't do it. apparently, he hasn't led in a poll since. the trump voters are punishing him. >> i think what is scarier is what happens if trump loses after the election? which donald trump -- people say he will start his own media company and be constantly terrorizing the republican party from the right. this will be very interesting. you see a tension between trump ink and trump inc. the united states government association next year i think is holding the women's u.s. open at a trump golf course. >> will they? >> that's going to get real interesting. you can see a real tension
3:58 am
between trump ink and trump inc. >> the people punishing the down ballot can'ts that adidates, th buying into the idea the election is rigged. if you say i want a check on hillary clinton, you are conceding that you are buying into the system that you are somehow part of the system that is denying trump his rightful win. that's a problem. i should say to add, i covered bernie sanders for a long time. he would say the economy is rigged. he never said the election was rigged. this idea is that it was -- seeds that grew into what we see now. because it's not a far leap for some people. >> why does your party struggle with its most conservative movement being satisfied with incrementalism? while the progressive wing of the democratic party accepts it? >> i think it has to do with the base of the republican party being a base that always assumed that the next generation would be better. they really bought into this idea that if you could work hard, that this is sort of like a birth right of being an american.
3:59 am
that basic compact with the government and with society feels threatened. i think that's very frightening. >> well, we will leave it there. by the way, i should note, i'm a dodgers fan. my staff is making me do this. last night the cubs clinched -- i will say this with clinched teeth, a trip to the world series after beating my dodgers. the cubs will be facing the indians tuesday. the cubs haven't been in a world series since 1945. and they won a world series -- they haven't won since a roosevelt was president, teddy. that was in 1908. they have only won when teddy roosevelt is in office. here is hillary clinton, a one-time chicago native, celebrating the -- watching the cubs post-game celebration. she did not don a yankees cap. that's all we have for this week. two more sundays until election day. we will be back next week, because if it is sunday, it's "meet the press."
