i won't go back. >> gary tuchman joins us now.it is hard to find a lot of republicans at hillary clinton events but were there others? >> reporter: well, we did find others but their allegiances vary. for example, we found a couple of people who say they are still voting for donald trump. they like donald trump a lot. they just wanted to see their political enemy, hillary clinton, in person. we talked to a woman who doesn't like trump or clinton, a republican, says she's going to vote for gary johnson, libertarian party. then we also found a couple other people who are also republicans who are going to vote for hillary clinton but they did not want to go on camera yet because they were afraid of the reactions they would get from their friends and their family. >> gary tuchman, thanks so much. >>> up next, the sobering new development in the fight against the zika virus. this time, in california. great grains cereals are made fromreal fruit,clusters, wholesome nuts and crunchy flakes. good things come together to make one great thi

if i ever saw a bigot, it's donald trump. >> gary tuchman joins us.ou talk to anyone who expressed concern to you that hillary clinton could lose the election because some of these controversies? >> reporter: i talked to a lot of hillary clinton supporters today and if any of them thought she could lose solely based on the controversies, they weren't admitting it. there was a lot of optimism among hillary clinton supporters because of the polling since the democratic convention. however, there were a number of people i talked to today who feel the election could be much closer than they think it should be because of the controversies. >> gary tuchman, thanks very much. back with the panel. when it comes to attacks on the clinton foundation, i talked to secretary clinton, she called in last night, she said there's smoke, no fire. but isn't the appearance of conflict something that kind of feeds into the untrustworthy narrative concerns some voters have? >> i don't think there's an appearance. look, she's had mistakes, she's had problems, the e-mail thi

as gary tuchman shows us.. candidates have always played dirty. gross hypocrite. godless atheist. who said it? trump or clinton? well, neither. it was associates for jefferson and jefferson and john adams. (hillary clinton (d) presidential candidate) "a man you can bait with a tweet." (donald trump (r) presidential candidate) "lying, crooked hillary." the fact is, all this name calling and dirty campaigning is nothing new. take the election of 1828 - john quincy adams.... versus andrew jackson in another political brouhaha... adams taking aim at jackson .asserting that jackson didn't know how to spell, was too uneducated to become president, while newspapers portrayed his wife rachel as a "short, jackson shot back claiming that adams had sold his wife's maid as a concubine to the czar of russia! modern campaigns have seen their fair share of nastiness too. turn to 1972, senator edward muskie of maine, then a front-runner for the democratic nomination, that is until the conservative manchester union leader newspaper ran two pieces. one article, planted by the nixon white house, acc

gary tuchman, cnn atlanta things are getting ugly not just betweend hillary clinton.... 036 "he means we want to make america straight and white." that's right -- music legend cher is now going nuclear on the donald! but trump's supporters aren't holding back either! that will lead to above average temperatures by monday. expect a high of 100 today with monday with sunny skies. temps will continue to climb with a high of 105 tuesday. on wednesday the winds will start to pick up ahead of our next afternoon with a high of 104, then windy on thursday as the system passes mainly to our north and drags in milder air. afternoon highs will top out at friday. on saturday the winds will again pick up to breezy ahead of another system that may bring chances for rain back into the forecast on sunday. will push east tonight, which means we'll dry out for sunday. high pressure will start to take over the forecast and that will lead to above average temps will continue to climb with a high of 105 tuesday. on wednesday the winds will start to pick up ahead of our system passes mainly to our on satur

if you forgot them, gary tuchman has a refresher. >> reporter: it did not take long for donald trumpghts on jeb bush. >> i can't believe bush is in first place. some people are thrilled. i'm not thrilled because how could bush be in first place? this guy can't negotiate his way out of a paper bag. >> reporter: early on, trump came out with a phrase to get under his skin. >> he's very low energy. i think jeb is a nice person. he's very low energy. i'm not used to that kind of a person. so let's assume somebody else becomes president. let's assume a very low energy person, very very low energy, so low energy that every time you watch him you fall asleep. >> reporter: trump trotted out the theme at debates, too. >> i got along with clinton. i get along with everybody. that was my job, to get along with people. >> the simple fact is -- >> excuse me, one second. >> no. the simple fact is, donald -- >> more energy tonight. i like that. >> reporter: the low energy line usually got supporters laughing and applauding. so did the more personal insults. >> jeb bush, who's a total stiff, by the

tonight, gary tuchman takes us in a hot air balloon to show us how a landing is supposed to happen. > reporter: it's hardly a new thrill. hot air balloons have been around for 233 years. but how these balloons actually fly is not widely known. >> we're off! >> reporter: here in maryland, 36-year veteran balloon pilot mike is showing us how it's done. i don't feel any wind. >> we are a few hundred feet in the air. >> you don't feel any wind because the balloon will always go the same speed as the wind it's in. >> reporter: which leads to this question. how does it stay in the air? >> we are staying in the air because we heat the air inside and make it less dense. by making it less dense, we have become buoyant. >> reporter: that fire heats the air? >> heats the air, expands it. as it expands it it forces it out of the mouth of the balloon, making the balloon lighter than air which is why the aircraft categories call that lighter than air. >> reporter: just like an airplane or helicopter, a hot air balloon has redundancies to cope with most emergencies. >> what we have here are the equi

our gary tuchman explains why ands tos voters there to see who they like. >> reporter: cramer's bakeryly, pennsylvania, in buck's county. it's been in business 70 years. so they know all about delicacies here. what they didn't know is that presidential candidates specifically treasured their vote. jill mcdade is one of the employes. >> did you know you were a swing so thor? >> i did not. you're the person hillary clinton and donald trump want very badly to vote for them. doesn't it make you feel pressure? >> it doesn't feel like pressure? >> no. >> jill, her fellow bakery workers and hundreds of thousands of other voters in bucks county are widely considered a microcosm of the american electorate. almost split between republican and democrat, white collar and blue collar. a swing county in a swing state. now you may feel some pressure. who will you vote for? >> donald trump? >> how come in. >> i'm a registered republican. i've always voted that way and that's the party i want to support. >> john barrow also works in the bakery. >> i don't want to anger you because you have a knife in y

gary tuchman, cnn, atlanta. >> plenty more to talk about with the panel.talked so much about if you look at the polls and donald trump needing to reach out to other voting blocs. he already have to andre's point earlier very strong support among the folks who wait in line for hours and hours to come to his rallies. the question is are there enough of them and does he need new people and are these new people he's hired the ones to get him -- >> one, there are not enough of them as you said of just the die-hard trump supporters and he has two missions still, and it's late in the game for the first mission which is that he is still performing among republicans at a lower level than he needs to, republicans overall and the broader sense of people who identify themselves as republicans. he's not at the level that john mccain was at and of course, they lost, but he needs to up his republican game. hill reclinton has much higher support among democrats right now than he does among republicans. he still has to fortify his own party and then still add to it. so usu

gary tuchman reports. >> trump! >> which donald trump do these supporters want to see?nt to see the teleprompter trump or the off-the-cuff trump? >> for me, personally it would have to be off-the-cuff trump. >> i like the off-the-cuff trump. >> i don't want him to get soft and i don't want him to get presidential. i want him to be the same guy he's been because that's what got everybody riled up. >> reporter: trump did not disappoint those supporters, going off-script for much of this rally in wilmington, north carolina, but he once again sparked controversy and this one fast and furious even by trump standards listen to what he says. is it a threat or not? >> hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the second amendment. by the way, and if she gets to pick -- if she gets to pick her judges nothing you can do, folks. although the second amendment people, maybe there is, i don't know. >> some people in the audience seem surprised by what trump said like the man in the red on the right side of the screen behind him, but most at the rally didn't seem to react or hear

gary tuchman was with a group of african-americans who watched that speech.stion is is his message hitting home? take a look. >> reporter: 20 african-americans from austin, texas. >> how many democrats do we have here? >> i think there are nine. >> nine democrats. how many republicans? >> five republicans? >> the rest, independent all watching donald trump's austin rally with us. >> every african-american child in this country -- >> most not happy with what they were hearing. a good education with a great paying job. that's success. >> it's just so easy. >> he's not saying anything. >> reporter: among republicans supporting trump like these two people. we're going to cut taxes and create millions and millions of new jobs. >> a different vibe. more content. none of the trump supporters here say they love the man, but they tell us that he and the gop, more reflect their values. >> i'm just a republican, and i'm going to support the republican candidate whoever that person is. >> other trump supporters look past his controversial comments and look forward to a m

gary tuchman looks back. >> hypocrite, godless atheist. who said it? trump or clinton? neither.ates of jefferson and adams trading barbs. thomas jefferson and john adams. >> a man you can bait with a tweet. >> lyin', crooked hillary. >> reporter: the fact is all this name-calling and dirty campaigning is nothing new. take the election of 1828. john quincy adams versus andrew jackson in another political brouhaha. adams taking aim at jackson, asserting that jackson didn't know how to spell, was too uneducated to become president, while newspapers portrayed his wife, rachel, as a short, fat dumpling. jackson shot back, claiming that adams had sold his wife's maid as a concubine to the czar of russia. and douglas accusing lincoln of hypocrisy on the issue of temperance, claiming that lincoln himself had once operated a grocery store that sold hard liquor, causing quite the stir. lincoln's reply, if that was the case, then surely douglas was his best customer. in the election of 1912, theodore roosevelt called his opponent, william howard taft a fathead with the brains of a guinea p

gary tuchman talked to some people. there are other folks we spoke to as well. they were quick to sort of downplay. let's watch this. >> you know, you can kind of skew it in your way or another way or my way and somebody else's way, but i think it was just political banter that both of them, you know, will do. >> is this political banter? >> it's totally atypical conversation to happen at a political rally it's safe to say. we have to remember that donald trump has said in the past, if you see someone out there with tomatoes, knock the hell out of them, i'll pay your legal fees and people have knocked the hell ot of protesters. he's said in the past and people have done them, acted in a violent way. it's also the case if the joke he made is not an uncommon joke. this is something that is said, people who are strong advocates of gun rights have said in the past, if you're going to come take my guns, i'll fight you off. it's in line with rhetoric is not uncommon but it's extremely uncommon for a presidential comment to raise that the way he did. that's why we can

. >> gary tuchman has done a report that it's physically impossible to build a wall now the surrogates saying, well, we know it's impossible now. >> when he has said build a wall, he's talking about border security, knowing who comes in -- >> he's talking about a big, beautiful wall. >> he said it's going to have a door. >> you guys may know more about it than i do. >> we know your candidate's talking points better than you and he said a big, beautiful wall that mexico will pay for and vicente fox had words for the wall that's not going in. which makes it simple to book a room for... $1,000. sorry. or $500. or $100. sorry. or $25, but it won't be here. you can stay with me. thanks. i've already lost enough today. hotels.com. safer than a stranger's house. is it a force of nature? or a sales event? the summer of audi sales event is here. get up to a $5,000 bonus on select audi models. always has to be who sat your desk? phone now, with one talk from verizon... hi, pete. i'm glad you called. (announcer vo) all your phones can work together on one number. you can move calls between phones

that was gary tuchman. van jones, backtracking on deportation and now this.eality of donald trump, what do you think it going to be once he announces his plan? >> well, first of all, i just wanted to say i thought amy was doing a great job trying to polish this thing up and make it seem like it's a great thing for him to be wandering around listening to people to form his ideas. we are 75 days away from the election. the time to figure out what you think about american policy should be before you run for the highest office in the world. it should be before you get many nomination of a major party. the idea that his closest supporters, his best friends, his most passionate surrogates don't have any idea what he's going to do 75 days out is reason enough to disqualify donald trump. >> bob beckel? >> yeah, i think it's pretty obvious if you look at the tape with anderson cooper, he did say tonight that 11 million would leave and they could come back through a door and start the process of legalization. >> so it's back to amnesty. >> look, he rose to the nominati

. >> gary tuchman joins us.g else that stood out to trump supporters in particular about the speech? >> reporter: i spoke to a lot of people today, anderson. one of the more interesting conversations was with a woman who was born in puerto rico but loves donald trump, loves everything he said today and loves one thing he did not say today. donald trump did not talk about his proposal to have a border wall on the border of the united states and mexico. i said there's no indication he has abandoned that position. but she said it's very significant that on a speech about national security he did not mention that border wall. >> gary, thank you very much. our panel now, jack kucinich, christine quinn and corey lewandowski is back with us. also, angela rye. and trump supporter joseph berelli. jack, for the folks in that room, who were all trump supporters, it was very well received. donald trump needs to reach out to other people who maybe haven't been receptive to him yet. do you think he did that today with this sp

gary tuchman was at a tucson event and talked to some supporters. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcomehe next vice president of the united states. >> reporter: quite a day for mike pence. to hit the campaign trail in arizona, just as his running mate, donald trump, has declared he will not endorse arizona senior senator john mccain in his upcoming primary election. sarah attended the pence town hall in tucson and likes trump and mccain, but -- >> personally, i think that trump has a plan and if mccain is not part of his long-term plan, then i support trump's decision. >> reporter: most of the people here are fervent trump/pence supporters. that loyalty is evident. >> frankly, i wouldn't want to endorse john mccain either. he's kind of betrayed our party. i can't support him. >> reporter: the trump/mccain relationship has been strained since last summer when trump declared former p.o.w. mccain is not a hero. >> i like people who weren't captured, okay? i hate to tell you. >> reporter: on monday, trumcca released criticism of trump regarding the khan controversy. he stopped short of with

tonight, our gary tuchman in akron, talking to some of the 2% who say they are supporting donald trumprter: ten-minute drive from donald trump's most recent rally takes you to not the kind of places trump holds rallies even as he increasingly talks about african-americans. >> i'm going to go for hillary. >> clinton all the way. >> clinton. president clinton. >> reporter: this neighborhood in west akron is not friendly territory for trump but less friendly now after he said this about african-americans to an almost all-white audience a few days ago. >> what do you have to lose by trying something new like trump? you're living in poverty. your schools are no good. have you no jobs. 58% of your youth is unemployed. what the hell do you have to lose? what do you think of that statement? >> i think it's stupid. >> reporter: that opinion what is widely seen as racial stereotyping is one of the milder one. >> very insulting and kind of racist. >> he don't care about blacks. he don't. he's an idiot, personally. >> reporter: keisha anderson just opened up her own boutique here in akron. she is

. >> our gary tuchman caught up with senator mccain and has this report. >> reporter: right away, johnn made it clear he preferred not to talk about issues involving donald trump. >> before you go any further i have said everything that i want to say. >> reporter: but there were certainly questions to ask the arizona senior senator after trump said he would not support john mccain in his reelection later this month. >> my question is if the presidential election were today. >> i said i would support the nominee of the party and let me just say to you, that is the last time, if i change my view or my position then you will be among the first to know. okay? >> donald trump has not treated john mccain with a lot of respect during this campaign. the former vietnam pow was not a hero. >> i like people that weren't captured, okay? >> many republicans denounced trump at the time for saying that and many of them are not supporting trump and john mccain, the chairman of the sen adarmed services committee is not one of them, at least yet. >> are you comfortable with donald trump possibly having

gary tuchman reports. >> make america great again. >> reporter: changes in the trump campaign leadershipno changes in the festive mood of people waiting to get into a trump rally. how long have you been a trump supporter? >> since day one. >> i always liked donald trump. i always said he should run for years. >> nothing's going to change my mind. i'm voting for trump. >> reporter: but those comments here in north carolina don't mean all the supporters think his campaign has been flawless. on the contrary. >> he needs to kind of think about things before he says them. because i know what he means but sometimes it comes out the wrong way. >> reporter: you think that he's giving himself some self-inflicted wounds? >> yeah. i think so. i think that he would be in a lot better shape in the polls if he would just kind of think about things before he says them. >> reporter: some people are saying this is a shakeup of a troubled campaign. the trump campaign is saying no, we are just adding people. what do you think? >> you know, i don't think it's a shakeup, maybe, but i think it's a good thing.

gary tuchman, cnn, atlanta. >>> all right. got some stories we want to share with you on the other side of the break. the stories of survival. and they are emerging now from the rubble in italy. cnn travels to a hospital near the epicenter of this week's deadly quake. wait till you hear this. stay close. >>> italy's president is attending a state funeral for 35 of the earthquake now. the death toll 281. >> the death toll finally sinking in here. hundreds standing by to recover some of these folks. we know 2100 people are living, as you see there, in these makeshift tents right now. >> cnn's fred pleitgen joins us from one of the most devastated towns there. fred, show us what you're seeing there, and tell us what you've learned. >> reporter: well, victor, i mean, the devastation here is just absolutely stunning. we're in amatrice, you were just saying that the updated death toll is now 290. of 230 of those known to be killed were right near amatrice. i can tell you that the search and rescue efforts are still very much ongoing
