we have our cnn politics editor juana summers with us. political commentator ryan lizza, and mattea gold for the "washington post" and chief national security correspondent jim sciutto. so how effective, juana, was the president's decision to go ahead and slam trump on this issue of a supposed rigged election? >> as the president said, noted more soft on his criticism of trump. i certainly don't think he did that. something important to note here, there just some factual evidence of the widespread rigging or voter fraud trump alleged. i think president obama drove that home today. we are just three weeks out from the election and a major party nominee effectively telling americans they may not be able to have confidence in the system of voting, that will choose the next president and offices across the country. early voting already in play in many states around the country. likely we'll see the president, if donald trump and surrogates continue to push that line bring that up again and again, because it's critical americans trust the syste

juana summers and a.b. stoddard, editor for real clear politics and david nokima for the "washington post." kellyanne conway is saying, speaker ryan has a job to do. okay? she knows that. this is someone who's one of donald trump's closest advisors, juana, who knows speaker ryan has a job to do. not just concerned about donald trump. he's turned his attention now to hanging on to the house which it almost seems nuts he has to concentrate on that, with the big majority they have. what does that tell you about what's going on inside of the trump campaign right now? >> first of all, kellyanne conway has been in the game so to speak a long time and understands what paul ryan's role is. what paul ryan said he'd do, focus solely on keeping control of the house is what he's done all along. right? scrapped an appearance with he and donald trump. never seen them appear together. the only thing that strikes me the only thing that matters is the candidate himself. kellyanne can go on tv, say what the campaign will foc

wanna summers, k wanna -- juana summers and gloria borger, chief political analyst and brianna keilar political correspondent. gloria, what message does trump need to share with voters in new hampshire right now? >> look, i think he needs to stick on his message. which he's actually been doing more than we've seen in the past. these past couple of days. he's got to talk about hillary clinton, wikileaks, draining the swamp in washington, which is a message that's very resonant for him, that she is the status quo. that he represents change, and that, that if you elect hillary clinton it's going to be more of the same. i think these he's going to be -- going to be talking up wikileaks, and congressional investigations and continuing along that line. if he reverts back and starts talking about how he's going to sue nbc for the "access hollywood" tape or how he's going to sue these women who have come out and accused him of groping them, et cetera, then i think he's totally going off the rails again. >> juana, a lot people wonder why electoral -- four is a small number. it went for preside
