here now, savannah guthrie and chuck todd. >> and good evening, everybody. nice to have you with us. chuck, after all the hype, all the prep, all the predebate ga gamesmanship from both campaigns this is it, we're literally minutes way from the start of the first and all important presidential debate on a stage behind us. we've already seen the candidates tonight hillary clinton and donald trump arriving here a bit earlier this evening. they're waiting backstage. and chuck, we've had a moment tonight. >> yeah. >> president bill clinton is in the house. and met mrs. melania trump. they just shared that handshake. we've got the whole families assembled here. >> we do. and i think one thing we ought to remember as big of personalities that they are, we know this is going to be a clash of big personalities, this is also a clash of two competing visions of america. hillary clinton embracing the many cultural changes, diversity, acceleration of globalization that's happening. donald trump embracing a vision that says whoa, let's slow down, let's slow things down,

chuck, you mentioned tonight was surreal.e you ever seen a presidential candidate actually go into the spinroom and do this o own spin? >> he's different and creature of the media. name drops members of the media, whether sean hannity, wolf blitzer. there was a few networks left out. i mean, my gosh, he does do that. can we just -- there was a big loser tonight. i think it was the american public for this reason. they spent almost, i would say, 75 minutes talking about themselves. talking about defending themselves or going after each other. i have to say this wasn't -- early on we got a little bit of back and forth on trade and i thought -- there were times where they just blew past what the topic was. they got into this -- i have a feeling there is going to be this frustration from voters about the lack of substance. >> by the way, we've already seen that frustration. people are fairly frustrated. >> i thought you saw a frustrated donald trump. he didn't stop and say, i had a great evening, did you see what she did? he kept

>> i think that, i think that the fidelity to the values is at stake, chuck. let me add that i do think that it is a contrast in the vision, and one of the things that i have been doing on the trail in the last couple of days is to showing the two books. hillary has a book filled with all of our campaign platforms and policies and we call it "stronger together." and donald trump wrote a book when he decided to run for president, and the book is called "crippled america." that is the vision choice that americans have in this election, and let's just use one example. the equality principle. donald trump for five years was pushing the completely false notion that president obama wasn't born in the united states and wasn't an american citizen, and chuck it is important to know how painful that is to so many people, because as you know, from the time that african-americans came here to jamestown in 1619 through the dred scott decision in the 1850s, if you were african-american in this country, you could not be a citizen whether you were slave or free or born here o
