. >> joining me now, jay newton small, and josh barrow, msnbc krib kribtder and senior editor at business insider. how much more can trump withstand. all the republicans abandoning, reputeiating their party's n nomin nominee. how do you see this ending? >> donald trump is going to lose this election. right now, the question is by what margin is he going to lose this election. when you saw this deluge of republicans through the day announcing withdrawals of their support, spread all the way throughout the day until ohio senator rob portman, one of the best positioned republicans seeking re-election, who had been with trump all along, saying he can no longer vote with him. you're going to see republicans, waiting, hoping to see if he can do something to fix the course, but my guess is the debate is going to be a disaster for him. he's clearly angry. he's been telegraphing his strategy such as it is is to bring up all sorts of things about bill clinton's past at the debate. i'm sure he'll attack hillary clinton in a way that will be aggressive and make him look ridiculous. furthermore, he is

senior political ammist and senior editor of the atlantic, ron brownstein and washington correspond, jay newton small. jay, let me xwin with you. so, you know, polls have shown donald trump you know, popularity has split particularly after that access hollywood videotape was revealed. so, is there a feeling now from trump and his campaign that going after the accusers will help bring some of those numbers up or is it simply trying to get the last word on the topic? >> well i think there's a diversion between his campaign an donald trump. i think if you saw during this week for example kellyanne conway was yelling at her candidate from the back of an auditorium saying stick to the issues. and trying to keep him focused on message rather than kind of diverting off into these character attacks or divert off u into talking about this whole sort of uproar and really, the more that donald trump can stick to issue, especially going into this next debate, looking at immigration or trade, that's where he needs to be. the more he goes on these twitter tirades and attacks women, calling them liars and una

ryan lizza is here and rebecca berg is with us as well as jay newton small, washington correspondent and contributor to "time" magazine and author of "broad influence, how women are changing the way america works." guys, thank you for being here. ryan, let me begin with you because you wrote an extensive piece about trump's female campaign manager. notable because kellyanne conway is the first woman to ever run a republican campaign. you write this. kellyanne conway had a history of sanding the rough edges off republican men in order to appeal to moderate women. you know, when you look at donald trump and her ability to do that, it seems like she was succeeding in that in august and in september. what happened? >> yeah, she does have that history. she worked for newt gingrich, who had some trouble appealing to women. i mean, look, there's always been a gender gap among -- for republican men. they do better among men than women. so kellyanne conway, who drew up in this male-dominated business of republican consulting, her area of expertise was, you know, how do you break through to wo

. >>> joining me jay newton small. welcome to you. jay, we heard that sound bite earlier. trump supporters trying to clarify his claim the election is rigged. if this argument isn't buying him much among undecided voters, what's the point of pushing it? >> this is something donald trump has been pushing for a long time. if you look at his twitter history, every year at the emmy awards would tweet that the awards were rigged and somehow it was the judge -- the judges were rigged, the system was bought. yet the emmies are still standing. we will see about the american democracy. in 2012 he actually -- he tweeted a huge storm saying calling for revolution, saying the election had been stolen from mitt romney. this is something that's not new for him. it's his go-to position when he is losing, it's way of explaining why he lost, it's not his fault, it's somebody else's fault. is it getting him voters? probably not. >> makes you wonder what a concession speech would be like were he to lose? we will wait and see. we heard that trump is now suggesting that he and hillary clinton

jay newton small, a contributor at "time."nd political analyst. >> hey, fred. >> good to see all of you. the question revolved around why the device wasn't part of the original clinton-related investigation. just clarity on that one. so podesta painting this as nuance. he says he thinks huma abedin truly believed she had handed over everything. do you believe that voters will see it that way? >> well, i think this is something where it is going to be whatever you make of it, right? because it is so vague, hillary supporters are going to say, oh, it's not a big deal. what's on there, i'm sure, is innocent. potentially, she just didn't realize she downloaded documents from the state department on her husband's computer. they'll find a reason to say it is not a big deal. trump supporters will say, this is a big deal. potential top secret information. we just don't know. the fact of the matter is, we're not probably going to know until after the election. basically, each campaign will make as little or as much of this as they can.

lynn sweet, washington bureau chief for the chicago sun times, jay newton small, contributor to "time" magazine and larry sabato, director of the university of virginia center for politics. welcome to all of you. larry, these comments by mr. trump that he will keep us in suspense on election day, maybe he will accept the election results, maybe he won't, tell us why those remarks are damaging. >> well, they are highly irresponsible. i studied contested elections. we have had some in american history, 1824 when andrew jackson was very unhappy that john quincy adams won, 1876 when we had really a dead tie and a corrupt election and a democrat won the popular vote pretty handily, but the election was conceded even though it was probably stolen from him. some of your prior guests have mentioned 1960, the kennedy/nixon race though i have to correct what's been said. i have studied that thoroughly. i have gone to all the reports and investigations for 1960. john f. kennedy won that election. there were fraudulent votes in chicago. there were fraudulent republican votes in southern illinois

jay newton small, contributor with the "time" magazine, and ken vogel, chief investigative reporter with take over here, guys, this has a roundtable. i want you to explain to me kind of campaigning in plain sight. hillary clinton's not doing a lot of hard-nosed interviews. and she's campaigns for other candidates than herself. i think it's a strategy to get the focus off her in the last two weeks and keep it on trump. tim? >> yeah, i think that's right. look, if you're hillary clinton right now, you're up six points on average in pennsylvania. you're up eight points in new hampshire. you look around and there's not a down-ballot race in colorado. but in those other three straits, for instance, at this point, why not help the down-ballot candidates. why not try to strengthen your hand when you're naughted next january. it has a dual effect of not only helping your down-ballot candidates, but it is a prevent defense strategy. it's sort of a place it safe, let's not do anything to possibly hand ammunition to the trump campaign less than two weeks out, at this point, or 15 days out at this p

. >> jay newton-small is with me as is steve cortes and malcolm. malcolm, i want to start with you. >> good morning. >> good morning. i just want to work out with you my own personal anxiety about these wikileaks documents. i'm uncomfortable with them partly because of what you said many weeks ago on this show. there's no way for us to know once a document comes that comes through the fsb, how much is authentic, how much of it is edited, weird, fachlkt since we don't really know, how much confidence can we have in the content? >> well, you can have zero confidence. actually it was july 27th that we made the pronunciation that when you hack information from your opponent, let's say your russian intelligence, what you want to do is get a stream of real information, but within that stream you're going have selectively edited or selectively timed releases of data which will make your opponent look bad. some of that is real but within that stream of real there's always false documents. we've already seen false documents edited by the fsb and trump suppo

cam newton and the panthers blew them out of the way to the super bowl and 12 sports insider jay taylor joins me now and both teams are different, probably disappointing for both of them to say the least. who do you like this sunday? >> it's hard for me to say this but i am liking the panthers because they had a biweek and had a chance to regroup. hey, we still have a chance in the in, fc south, plague the division itself. the -- nfc south playing the division itself. when the cardinals travel on the road, i worry about a lull, the fact that you had that game couldn't get a way to get it done. i am concerned when they travel on the road, the focus won't be there and that is where my concern is. and if this team is running on sunday, they will have to stick with the running attack and control cam newton. they can be in the game if they control him. >> are you worried the cardinals might be tired and the panthers are fresh coming off of that bi? >> most definitely. the front 7, the defense is as of the best as anyone in the tough one with the panthers and these are the things that i am sa
