>> michael steele, why?s an american citizen, how you owned up to your responsibilities and day after day, every media outlet does not pound, pound, pound. you are running for president of the united states. how dare you say we're not going to see her tax returns. how dare you insult the american public because you're in audit? everyone has come out and said that has nothing to do with it. >> michael steele? >> donny, i appreciate your exercised viewpoint there, but you know, this is the reality of it. your exercise, the press's exercise, but the american people apparently aren't. show me the poll where 60% of the people saying i want to see your tax returns. that's donald trump's safe haven here. he's so past that at this point. it's not resonating the way it resonates for you. with a lot of other people, and that's why you don't see the pressure on him. >> coming up on "morning joe," first she grilled dr. oz on capitol hill in 2014. is espn next? senator claire mccaskill joins us after a frustrating weeken

michael steel, let me start with you, sir. up to 100 million people could be watching this thing tonight. what will you be watching for specifically? >> let me just say, i've got my popcorn, baby, and i'm ready for a good one. i am ready for a good one. no, i'm going to be watching for stability. that's going to be an operative word for me tonight. whether or not donald trump can actually stabilize the debate. in other words, not have it sort of whirl off into a direction it doesn't need to go, if he could stay focused on whatever degree of preparation he's had and disciplined on that point, at least the beginning. there's an expectation he's going to come out of this thing and go buck wild. i don't believe that's going to be the case at all. stability for hillary clinton is going to be important as well but in a different way. and it is going to be that stabilizing presence. she's sort of presented this, i'm the adult in the room, i'm the one who's best prepared to lead the nation. well, she's got to stabilize that, at the sa

let's go about -- let's talk about that with michael steele and jane newton small. with these polls, "the new york times" -- "the new york times"/cbs poll, which closed yesterday, i believe, that's been -- that's barely covered the whole weekend. so it certainly went as late as tuesday night. that does cover the period of people, we were all blabbing about that. do you think that was a changer? >> i think it did? >> deplorables? move people to trump column? >> i think the combination of the deplorable, and of course, the general feel around the campaign, the clinton campaign, people are sensitive to that. it's funny, you get beyond labor day and the dynamics in the races change. people get more connected to it. reporters can tell you on the ground that, you know, there's a different kind of energy. and the voters are more sensitive. they pick up stuff. they don't -- they may not articulate it directly, but that is a sense, there's something not quite right. >> that's like me in the nba. i get to decide who i like, who i'm rooting for, the individual players. >> and

analyst david corn, washington bureau chief for mother jones as well as republican strategist, michael steeleer spokesman for speaker boehner. what do you make of this, michael, going on larry king, everybody knows he works for rt. i know it now. i didn't know it a couple years ago. it's not so much going on with larry king who i'm a friend of, i like the guy, he's had a hell of a history in radio and even television. but he doesn't ask tough questions and by the way, he didn't say anything to trump about the american media. trump used a softball question, what have you learned in the campaign, to bash the media. it wasn't king's fault. it was trump. >> i think in vladimir putin's kgb days, donald trump would have been known as a useful idiot. i come from the wing of the republican party that considers russia a geopolitical threat, geopolitical foe. if we are in a situation where the fbi says they trying to interfere in our he lelections a kgb agent says they're not, i trust the fbi. >> you took the side of the fire brigade. it wasn't a tough call. >> yeah. trump doesn't. >> why did he do it?

after the 2008 campaign, the republican party suffered from significant debt, the troubled tenure michael steel and just had less money to invest, less infrastructure developed, and a very fractured field where their nominee facedfaced a tougher, stiffer competition but had to spend more areas in mass broadcasting and couldn't afford to build the team like the obama 2012 team was building for an entire year while ramney ran a contested primary. >> host: what kind of investments are we talking about in technology? is this pretty expensive stuff? >> guest: i think what happens is you see ebbs and flows particularly during president elections. they will invest in millions in building out a technology infrastructure. what this really intells is first and foremost talent and expertise. campaigns look to hire experts like engineers and developers who can come in from the outside with specialized skills use them to solve political problems at that moment in time. another area they spend money on is ongoing data maintenance and management. this gets carried across the election cycle and it is built up

we're back with michael steele, joy reid, chris hayes and robert costa.n for hillary clinton tonight was -- by the way, you always hit home runs out of the park. anyway, when trump went after her and her stamina, said she doesn't have the stamina to be president, also talked about her looks, sort of. anyway, here's how hillary clinton struck back. >> she doesn't have the looks, she doesn't have the stamina. i said she doesn't have the stamina. and i don't believe she does have the stamina. to be president of this country, you need tremendous stamina. >> he tried to switch from looks to stamina. but this is a man who has called women pigs, slobs, and dogs. and someone who has said pregnancy is an inconvenience to employers. >> i never said that. >> who has said that women don't deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men. and one of the worse things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest. he loves beauty contests, supporting them and hanging around them. and he called this woman, miss piggy. then he called her miss housekeeping because she

let me go to michael steele. it seems to me trump has a mountain to climb right now because if he wins all the tossup states, all the jump balls, he still loses. he's got to win all them and then he's got to go on and win pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan, then to win the election. it's really tough for him. does he throw the long ball? does he go for a hail mary? what does he do? >> he has to do all of it. he has to throw the long ball, got to do the short game on the ground with turnout, he's got to find new constituencies which you have seen him try to do with african-americans, for example. not so much to win that constituency but to pull those numbers down a little bit as opposed to losing 80 to 20, you're losing a little bit less than that. a lot less than that. but that's the reality for him. look, going to what heidi just said, this is no surprise. this blue wall so to speak has been here for quite some time. four out of the last six presidential elections have landed for democrats because of the way t

joining me now, msnbc political analyst, michael steele, former rnc chairman, and charlie pierce, writert large for esquire. well, i think the big question, the two things here, where's the terrain of the debate? is it on substance? is it on the sort of personal records of each of these candidates? and the other thing to me is this sort of what trump shows up. my anticipation is that we're going to see a relatively gracious version of donald trump. >> i think you will. i think that that's been sort of the drilldown from the very beginning of the process, prepping for this debate was to get his mind retrained, not to be reactionary. but to sort of hold his powder and stand back and just kind of listen to some of the incoming. >> although, you saw omarosa's response to the birther question, which, again, they said 30 seconds about and they have, we have declared this issue done. you cannot talk about it. but it's not done. you have to explain how someone who spent five years saying a ludicrous thing came around to not believe it. >> but their definition of done is going to be, i think, exh

. >> here's the thing, and michael steele brought it up during "morning joe" and i found it very interesting. it should matter, it's a spectacle, but it doesn't seem to impact anything as far as the polls go. as michael put it, we seem to be outraged we don't have his medical records, we don't have his taxes but people when you look at the poll numbers, they don't seem to care. >> no, i can't dispute that. at the same time, there's a principle here about how presidential campaigns are conducted. there's a long standing history of presidential candidacies releasing not just medical records but tax returns. there is an element of principle that the press and i think voters in general should stick to, which is that presidential candidate regardless of their party needs to divulge to the public certain things that the public can use to assess the candidacy that they're running. in donald trump's case, that hasn't taken place. that's an objective fact. >> you're talking standard. you're talking history. this is a very different race than anything we have seen before. >> yes, it is. >> i want to b

the troubled tenure of chairman michael steele, just had less money to able to invest in the areas, less infrastructure developed at that moment in time. during 2012 faced a very fractured field, where their ultimate nominee, mitt romney faced not only tougher, stiffer competition but had to spend more resources in areas like mass broadcasting and couldn't afford to build the technology infrastructure that the obama team in 2012 enjoying their technical advantage of incumbency could be building for entire year while romney ran in a contested primary. >> host: professor kreiss, in your book "prototype politics" you talks about this, investments in technology, is that pretty expensive stuff? >> guest: i think what happens you see ebbs and flows especially during presidential races where particularly well-financed presidential campaigns will invest order of millions of dollars in building out a technology infrastructure and what this really entails is first and foremost talent and expertise. one of the things i found in a lot of my research campaigns look to hire expertise from outside of t

joining me political analyst and former rnc chairman michael steele and republican strateg t strategistrick tyler. let's start with you. comments by marco gutierrez. he is try to ing to reach out t african american voters. are they helping or hurting him? >> they are part of distracting the message and then of course you have the campaign itself which had i think a wonderful opportunity and moment in mexico with the president there and then stepped on that and created more confusion later on in the speech. the combination of these forces have really taken the immigration question off at this point. the argument that the are had to make goes back to the bush a administrati administration. rubio laid out the message. the rnc laid out an opportunity in its autopsy after 2012. not being able to align the nominee of the party and the party itself around the cores of those messages which still all talked about border enforcement as well as dealing with 11 million immigrants who are here right now has left us into this space. >> rick, the party that donald trump has made it clear he is aligned

former rnc chairman and msnbc political analyst michael steele. there's been a lot of analysis at this point this really isn't about policy. donald trump talks about his child care plan. hillary clinton rolled hers out in 2015 despite the claim from donald trump. but this is about trust. and this is the first ad from the clinton team focused in on this issue again of trust of donald trump or lack thereof and not temperament. what's your take on that strategy? >> i think it's a misdirect for the campaign. i mean it just focuses people back on the fact that they don't trust her. and i think this particular play is not going to have the kind of impact that they hope it will. trying to shift this conversation to, you know, the trump foundation, trusting what he did with the resources there, et cetera, is not quite the same. trust issue is baked in for hillary. i think they need to stay with that narrative. but this kind of thing i think just draws the attention back to her more so than refocussing a different conversation on him. >> michael, here you

cornell belcher, ruth marcus and michael steele, former chair of the rnc and msnbc political analyst.first. all three of you, i want to hear from you all. rudy giuliani, under a little pressure there, came out and said trump has changed his position, he now believes the president is legitimate. he didn't sneak in the country, there wasn't a conspiracy, birtherism was nothing, he's a president like any other president, dutifully and constitutionally elected. that's new. >> what does it say that that's new? >> what does it say about trump? >> but no, i think you created a box and the mayor found himself in it and it will be interesting to see what's going on right now, whether or not in the next 12 hours, 24 hours, there's going to be more on this from donald trump himself. i'm sure the press tomorrow will pick up your lead on this and ask the question. i think for donald trump, though, just looking at it from a political standpoint, given the efforts that he's been making to have a conversation with african-americans, i know that they have said that's a problem for us. we need to know
