alabama. at his early career, donald trump was a real estate guy who got sued by the justice department for discriminating against people in housing. >> he's taking hate groups mainstream. >> in major speech, clinton tearing into trump charging her rival with building his campaign on prejudice and paranoia tying him to right wing extremists. >> he promoted the racist lie that president obama is not really an american citizen. her health. >> his latest paranoid fever dream is about my health. all i can say is, donald, dream on. >> calli iing trump's new ceo

>> hillary clinton isn't just attacking me. she's attacking all of the decent people of all backgrounds. doesn't matter. of all backgrounds who support this incredible once in a lifetime movement. >> escalating his attack on the clinton foundation. >> hillary clinton's actions constitute all of the elements of a major criminal enterprise. >> asked whether his donations constituted pay for play, trump hedged. >> they like me a lot. if i didn't make that contribution, they probably wouldn't have liked me at all. >> in his cnn interview thursday night, trump suggested he may flip back to his original

legalization for undocumented workers unless they first leave the country and come back causing more head spinning among his supporters and his critics. m matt and savannah? >> thank you very much. >> a lot to sort out with chuck todd and nicole wallace. the olympics glow is still all around matt. let's talk about the latest back and forth on the campaign trail over race. chuck, to you. you have her giving this huge speech which essentially makes the argument that he or his supporters are bigots. is this a good strategy on either side? >> it's not a good strategy to hurl epithets at one another. we thought this would be a race to the bottom and this week is proving it. we're headed to a race at the bottom. there's strategy behind this. donald trump, at least the new

there are republicans not supporting us. if we can fix our problems with hispanic or african-americans or not sound so hateful than maybe some of the white republican voters will come back to the polls. >> do you agree this pitch from donald trump, it's not to win minority votes. >> this is about receiving suburban votes in northern virginia and southern philadelphia. you name it. >> before the last couple of days the big news out of the willingness on his part to walk back one of his main policy promises on immigration where he said these 11 million people, immigrants living in this country illegally had to leave. deportation. he comes back and says only the ones who committed crimes. others can pay back taxes and last night it seems he's back to square one. what is donald trump's policy on immigration? >> i have no idea.

bottom. we're looking up at the bottom. it's somewhere we've never been before. i think we sort of entered this black box phase where the crash happened and we're trying to figure out how we got here. i would caution republicans to not make this all about trump. he won because people picked him. republicans have to understand what the good parts were about his message and what they lacked that our voters picked him over 16 others. >> what i can't figure out is what this is going to do to turn when you race to the bottom a lot of people are going to say why bother? that scrambles the whole electoral map. >> we're thoroughly depressed. thank you very much. >> let's bring the olympics back. >> happy to be home. also this morning, there seems to be a lot of uncertainty swirling around that tropical system that could threat southern florida as soon as this coming weekend.
