lee and then in washington, bob cusack, editor-in-chief of "the hill." m.j., let me turn to you. i was talking to senator graham and he said it's time to punch back. this seems like chapter two of the field fighting back. >> right. there is an open war right now against donald trump within the republican field. there's no question about that. it's fascinating, when trump first got in the race, you remember, the candidates seemed unsure how to deal with him. >> they were all pretty positive with one another. >> yeah. even when trump was making inflammatory comments about john mccain, you sensed that the candidates were wanting to tread lightly using words like, the party should stay together. those days are over. we have candidates going out openly and saying that trump is not great for the party and willing to really go there because trump is on the attack and not to mention trump is not somebody that the other candidates can ignore anymore because he's been leading the poll for a sustained number of weeks. >> let me read to you what trump said on twitter, to senator graham, who

bob cusack, editor-in-chief of "the hill" who landed important interview couple weeks ago. him to admit if things got ugly with the republican national committee he might go third party. bob, that was an interesting push, that bill o'reilly made say, well, you can say i'm going to make mexico pay for the wall and mexico will say no we're not. this is what it is going to be like tomorrow night, isn't it? >> it will be very difficult, anytime you have the frontrunner, the frontrunner will get attacked. i talked to people on campaigns, who their candidate will be on stage and they are going to go after trump. i think there is a element some may go after him very hard. some are going to say where are the specific, donald? what are you talk about? now trump, still has such a strong following and he is doing so well in the polls, you know, maybe people aren't looking for policies. maybe they're looking for personality. they have got one with donald trump. liz: they do, mr. murphy, i have to tell you, these are tough voters. we just had ray leech, is a venture capitalist. he needs

jon: bob cusack, editor-in-chief at "the hill." going to be funny to he see whether the numbers change and how much as a result of that. huge audience for this one. >> it was a great debate. jon: thanks, bob. jenna. jenna: the economy always a big issue when it comes to elections, jon. today we have some new job numbers out from the labor department. american employers added 250,000 job last month. that is shy of the forecast but not by much. unemployment held steady at 5.3%. peter barnes from the business network live in washington with more. peter? >> reporter: jenna, another important number was wage growth which was one of the hot topics at last night's republican great. hourly wages rose .2. they're still below the 3% economists consider good. if you're looking for a job, here are the companies that hired last month. professional and business services added 40,000 new jobs. education and health up 37. retailers added 36,000 new jobs. leisure and hospitality was up 30,000. it was mixed bag. in more economically sensitive sector

. >> joining me now is olivia nucci and bob cusack, managing editor for the hill.u heard hillary clinton say the party of lincoln is the party of trump. how far might that get her? >> i think in the general election were it to be hillary versus trump, however unlikely that seems, that would get her far. the general population i don't think is full of trump supporters. however right now trump has nothing to lose, he's outrageous, he will say anything and i think he would be particularly vicious in a debate where hillary clinton whereas she has a lot to lose. she can not be as vicious and outrageous and i think it can damage her right now. >> bob, one of the top stories on the hill's web site is hillary clinton and resetting her strategy. the fact she's going after trump, is that part of that strategy? >> yes, it is. and i think her remarks yesterday on trump were effective. she's using humor. at these press conferences when she's talking about the e-mail controversy she looks uptight, she's defensive. i think this is a reset of her campaign because of her poll numbe

. >> the "on the record" political panel joins us daily best woodruff and bob cusack. i think even chris wallace has said that he is this is going to be the donald trump show they are trying not to have it what's going to happen? >> he is center stage most of the candidates are going to go after donald trump. the news is donald trump. the head lines the next day will be about donald trump. what they will say we don't know. they have to go after him. greta, is he a frontrunner. >> i don't know, does anyone dare go after donald trump because you go after donald trump, he nukes you. lindsey graham and governor perry said they only got glasses to look smarter he hits hard. >> eyen' front runner. they will have to somehow be connected to trump. every single news story written about this debate will include the name trump. not all these stories will included came in right-hand paul or include the name chris christie or head to testify head if they want any attention at all. >> i think he is going to lap this up. i don't think he is going to be-i-i think he is going to be qui

also with me, bob cusack, editor-in-chief of "the hill". 't know if hillary clinton thinks it will be donald trump in the general election when she says that will be fun, essentially debate, bring it, but she's definitely aiming a lot of her arrows lately straight at donald trump. >> yeah. and i think that helps her with the liberal base which has been wary of her and certainly the democratic national committee is putting out a lot of press releases about him and jeb bush. the republican side is so unpredictable. she's taking him on using humor. i think that resonates. >> m.j., we've seen a much more contrite hillary clinton. we've seen with jokes regard to this e-mail debacle and now we're seeing a different hillary clinton. she addressed this today as well. here she was. >> it's a little confusing and i certainly understand why for the press and for the public to try to make sense of this, like something wasn't classified in 2009, 2010, that maybe now it should. i'm trying to do a better job of explaining to people what's going on so that
