we mentioned the obama example he pointed out, only paying 20%, he's taken on romney. how is this not a tale of do as i say, not as a do? >> yeah, i mean you know, i mean, that's what it is. we've seen those shifts in position from donald trump even in the past. at some point he criticized romney for not releasing his taxes. now it seems like he's not going to release his taxes at this point. what's so clear from that speech today with hillary clinton is how much he was enjoying herself, right? she is happy to make this case, happy to prosecute donald trump on this issue. she's been waiting to do it for many, many months now. and there she is when this race is tightening, at least it was for a while. she really, i think, has some wind at her back. we'll have to see how this plays out in the debate tomorrow, kaine and pence. how does pence respond, who did release his taxes. it's a real head-scratcher how they're able to deal with this, the trump campaign, saying he's a genius. if you look at the papers in some of these swing state newspapers, they have framed it on the

. >> i would say she's not a strong candidate and when we talk about president obama, for example, presidentas there in philadelphia the other week to campaign for her, i can tell you as a pennsylvanian, there was no way on god's green earth hillary clinton is going to lose philadelphia so why send the president there? the reason he's there is because they know there's not much enthusiasm for her so she could win but win by a is sort of moderate or weak amount and then you get to the rest of the state and they could overwhelm the philadelphia votes which is frankly the old pattern of republicans and democrats but the fact that they're executing that says they know she's weak and that's why kellyanne has a good point. she's been a professional pollster her life. she knows what she's talking about. >> and what does it say about donald trump if hillary clinton is such a weak candidate, why isn't donald trump running away with the election? he's behind a weak candidate so that's something else we have to address. he's not as strong as you all might think he is, either. he's had to do a lot of ly

obama: a callous example of how he has treated women. the shameful comments about our bodies, the disrespect of our ambitions and intellect, the believe that you can do anything you want to a woman? it is cruel. it is frightening. and the truth is, it hurts. >> while the political war of words continues, major areblican donors withdrawing support. next, israel has suspended cooperation with unesco. this comes after the cultural body took steps toward adopting resolutions on annexed east jerusalem. the resolutions referred to occupy palestine. for more on this, let's talk to our correspondent in jerusalem. tell us more about this decision i israel. israel decision by follows the draft resolution from unesco and wish last night they voted -- in which last night they voted on a complex resolution about jerusalem. when they were talking about the holy sites of jerusalem, they did not mention the site by jewish name. they mentioned the mosque but not the temple mount. in israel, the reaction to that has been one of astonishment and outrage. t

sometimes presidents are criticized for not doing enough, ukraine and obama is an example, but this is not entirely explicable but it's revolutionary. >> we've had three debates. after the three of them, what's the final conclusion? >> his bottom fell out and yet questions about e-mails, about the state department, about transparency, and she seems perfectly fine with that. i think they have gambled that they're ahead by enough comfortably that that's something that can be dealt with when she's president or she'll have to demonstrate through her actions that she can win back the trust of the american people. but look, if she had faith and if she faces a stronger republican candidate four years from now, should she win, it's going to be very hard for her because i think a lot of the other guys who were running were very well preparo prosecute her day after day after day. and it would have been a very different race. she got lucky this time frankly. >> dickerson: let's talk about the homestretch, peggy. the debates are over. the finish line is within sight and some states are already vot

but barack obama, for example, ran for president is not a restriction. >> yeah. to make this argument is very difficult for tim kaine himself. is he a devoted catholic. and he has tried to sort of thin line between saying me personally but then i'm not going to do it must bely. but then we have also seen he has been sort of sent out on some other things with, you know, when president clinton got -- was impeached, you know, he said that clinton, bill clinton should leave office, and he has had to reverse all of that. i just think it's very -- you know, obviously everybody is talking about mike pence and his future. it's very interesting to think about tim kaine's future and what the clinton machine -- you know, what the clinton campaign is doing for his future. and i think it's not helping him. >> on this particular issue, is it somehow rhyme for the trump campaign. even though trump has evolved himself to pro-life or is it at least getting conservatives together? >> that's what i -- my reaction to this last night was wow, he is really speaking to the base. kind o

but barack obama, for example, ran for president is not a restriction. >> yeah. to send tim kaine out to make this argument is very difficult for tim kaine himself. is he a devoted catholic. and he has tried to sort of thin line between saying me personally but then i'm not going to do it must bely. but then we have also seen he has been sort of sent out on some other things with, you know, when president clinton got -- was impeached, you know, he said that clinton, bill clinton should leave office, and he has had to reverse all of that. i just think it's very -- you know, obviously everybody is talking about mike pence and his future. it's very interesting to think about tim kaine's future and what the clinton machine -- you know, what the clinton campaign is doing for his future. and i think it's not helping him. >> on this particular issue, is it somehow rhyme for the trump campaign. even though trump has evolved himself to pro-life or is it at least getting conservatives together? >> that's what i -- my reaction to this last night was wow, he is really speaki

what michelle obama, for example, was trying to do to women voters today, say get out there.s is important. the democrats have to get their base just as enthused as donald trump's core supporters are. i think that's what they are going about doing. >> it is possible to depress the other side's voters? >> i think it is possible to do that, but unlikely in this case. i think that it is just as likely by behavioring as he is behaving donald trump is stoking up the democratic base. in could do that, too. >> who are becoming more and more incensed what about they see and michelle obama's speech, which has gotten a lot of viral treatment since she gave it is only the first of many like this. i think that you will hear democrats -- democratic leaders challenging democrats to stand up for the kind of politics they want, the kind of country they want and try to use trump's negative energy against him in a political jiujitsu. >> there's the issue of what trump is doing to the republican party itself, and how that plays out on election day. >> you can see the republican party is in disa

those elites look for news in places other than for example the obama care premium hikes or the problems that the fbi. these are stories where if donald trump were making a comprehensive case, it goes back to nixon, you know this chris, an old saw and true saw in the republican cannon that you don't get a fair shake. but you got to deal with it by focussing on issues, not on the problem of bias. >> you think that's true? do you think that's true? i look at joe biden, he's not elite. i look at bobby of pennsylvania, i don't think he is elite. i look at toomey, he is not elite. who are the elite in the media? give me the names. >> if we ask people like donald trump or people like bernie sanders, they are both going after some of the same people. talking about the "new york times." about the washington post. and really this is something i think that is kind of an effective argument because people do feel when they go and get the news that they are really getting it from these people who have some sort of plan to rig this election or rig the economy or don't want to cover the real issues. wh

michelle obama, for example, is in arizona. arizona is a state that, you know, for the past 64 years only once has voted for a democrat. incidental that tim when they voted for bill clinton. what campaigns do is throw resources into the opponent's territory just to make the opponent have to defend there. this seems like legitimately because the demographics say a lot of hispanics there they might have a shot at winning it. >> because he is not defending there? >> well, in part, because he is doing so poorly nationally, right? he is losing by about six points nationally. that's a wide margin. if you're doing that badly nationally that tend to on suggest even in states that you should be able to win you're going to do worse than the how is turnout? >> turnout is kind of mediocre. what is interesting democrats are doing better as a percentage of the return ballots in arizona and north carolina than we saw four years ago. >> philip bump, thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> tomorrow morning on "face the nation," john dickerson's gu

president obama is leading by example. the president cast his ballot for the 2016 presidential election... in chicago on ffriday. the president is in chicago for the weekend... where he's expected to take part in several big ticket democratic fundraisers. a state ballot measure-- would tighten gun background checks in nevada. proponents and opponents of the measure say too many criminals have weapons. but they disagree whether the proposal--- would do anything to keep guns out of the hands of those who already have them illegally. las vegas district attorney... steve wolfson... supports the measure. but the governor, state attorney general, and several nevada backed by the n-r- a. supporters say the measure would close a loophole... that lets gun buyers get weapons from unlicensed owners online... and at gun shows. the measure is question 1 on the ballot november 8-th. unlv is coming off a rough night in san diego. making it the eighth time the aztecs beat unlv in san diego. sneed was the rebels leading rusher last nught..

so you've seen for president obama for example he got seven people in by inauguration.en of 1,100. think about the outgoing. the outgoing administration historically has not participated very fully with the exception of -- there's been several examples but no formal process or planning that we've seen. this is the first time now there's both a white house coordinating council at the political level and an agency career director's counsel that's been convened several times with active engagement of the incoming teams. first time in history that we've seen this. then there's the folks staying through transition, the career civil servants. and historically every agency has prepared for transition completely differently. some agencies put together in one case 80,000 pages of briefing materials for the incoming team. that's not even a door stop, that's beyond the door stop. some agencies do very little. so what's been great about this cycle, the administration is committed to much more consistency with the agencies so there's a standard template every agency is using, a proc

but along the same line, a good story is who's in and who's out in comparison to the obama white house. for exampleon education beat, obama's white house was constantly clashing with teachers unions, yet clinton came out early or teachers union came early in the campaign and the tortures will be interesting to see what is your relationship like with that group. with the new president there are so many different opportunities to say, to look out who's getting the attention, who's getting what they want. it's not just with executive orders. >> icy hands getting ready to go up and ask questions. if you could please when you ask your question if you could tell us your name and your news organization that would help our panelists as well. questions? i saw a couple hands getting ready. yes, in the front. >> i hope this doesn't sound too much like i don't know what i'm talking about but the idea you were talking about with executive orders coming in quickly. is the only way to overturn an executive order is another executive order? in terms of coming from the white house. is there any way that can do that

he had a very positive effect on barack obama for example during the 2012 convention, and so he is certainly a target for the republicans and not so much for the democrats. >> i would say that is then and this is now. >> and we take you to anderson cooper of cnn and martha raddatz. >> welcome to the second presidential debate between hillary clinton and donald trump sponsored by the commission on presidential debates. tonight's debate is a town hall f format which gives the voters the chance to directly ask the candidates questions. martha and i will ask the follow-up question, but the night belong ts to the people i this room and the people across the country who have submit ted questions online. >> the people on the stage were chosen by the gallop organization and all from are the st. louis area, and told gallop that they have not committed to a candidate. each of them came here with questions that they want to ask, ab nd we saw the questions fore first time this morning. anderson and i and the team from abc and cnn are the only ones who have seen them. each candidate has 2:00 to answer th

. >> we have an example of that. well, with obamaone off script a couple times recently. listen to him on the campaign trail this week. >> what are the problems, we can take them off. the co-pays, deductibles and premiums are too high and the drug prices are too high. so, what does she say we should do? we should bargain for lower drug prices the way the government can now with medicare and medicaid for everybody. >> now, you know, this has been a really controversial thing, m.k. let's bring you in here. the first time that bill went out of the box on this, he said some things that were arguably not true -- >> that is the craziest thing -- >> that may be true, but his numbers about who is getting crushed. how does this play to you for him to come out and acknowledge what is real, the aca has real problems and just how you can fix it because the chance of repealing it is very small. >> look, it's politically tricky. i think it's sort of nice to hear and hillary clinton did some conceding of those facts. had affordable care act is not

helping to lead by example, president obama today used a return to his hometown of chicago to cast ant for the november election. he's been encouraging people in speeches and radio interviews to register and get to the polls. the president voted after attending a fundraiser for democratic house candidate. russia says it will veto a french drafted u.n. resolution saturday, calling for a cease-fire in the syrian city of aleppo, and the grounding of all aircraft, including moscow's. the russian ambassador said it is quote, unprecedented the security council would ask a permanent member to limit its activities. >> i cannot possibly see how we can let this resolution pass. i cannot possibly see. to me the most upsetting thing about it is, there are other ways of doing it. mark: the ambassador said the security council should support a proposal from the u.n. syria envoy. it calls for an al qaeda linked group to leave aleppo in exchange for a hold to russia and syrian government bombardment. u.s. secretary of state john kerry says russia and syria should face a war crimes investigation for t

obama that. these are examples of the exact opposite.oing something completely different from what she promised. >> i don't know it's impropriety. i'm interested in your take, dana. do you think given that video -- you have been in government -- that's an example of somebody reading a statement? do you think wait a second, how can you take one step -- make this speech and do something else in your own life? >> both. i think that's the concern about her or any leader that is able to tell you you should do it one way and then think they are above the law and they don't have to do the same. it's like they can separate themselves from the rest of the american public. i'm sure that when she was getting $12 million from the king of morocco, they are thinking, we're doing it for the greater good. this is all fine. they don't realize that if anybody else had done the same thing, they would be screaming about it. they would use that to attack them. the same on cyber security. every government employee goes through this training. you hear at corpo

example. president obama passed one of his first initiatives. passed that with no republican support.hat is a lesson to anyone who is president that you have to pass these bills with support from the other party. get that buy-in. that's why it was so hard for him to sell this and also to sell when it was having trouble. >> we will see. 19 days. it's a long time in politics. panel, thank you very much. a different kind of focus group analyzing last night's debate. guess what guys, i switched to sprint. sprint? i'm hearing good things about the network. all the networks are great now. we're talking within a 1% difference in reliability of each other. and, sprint saves you 50% on most current national carrier rates. save money on your phone bill, invest it in your small business. wouldn't you love more customers? i would definitely love some new customers. sprint will help you add customers and cut your costs. switch your business to sprint and save 50% on most current verizon, at&t and t-mobile rates. don't let a 1% difference cost you twice as much. whoooo! for people with hearing loss

obama: and remember, we will not just be setting a bad example for our kids, but for our entire world. because percent long, america has been a model for countries across the globe, pushing them to educate their girls, insisting that they give more to their women. if we have a president who routinely degrades women, who brags about sexually assaulting women, then how can we maintain our moral authority in the world? how can we continue to be a beacon of freedom and justice and human dignity? fortunately, new hampshire, here is the beauty. we have everything we need to stop this madness. we see mothers and grandmothers that were often powerless to change their circumstances. today, we as women have all the power we need to determine the outcome of this election. we have knowledge, we have a voice. we have a vote. and on november the eighth, we as women and americans and decent human beings can come together and declare that enough is enough. that we do not tolerate this type of behavior in this country. [cheers and applause] mrs. obama: remember this, in 2012, women votes were the diff

for example, president obama canceled an appearance in florida, i believe, with mrs. clinton because of this storm. so, obviously, it's got people pretty nervous and justifiably so. it's a category 4 storm, as we speak, having touched down on haiti early this morning. rick with the latest on what we could be looking at. rick, what do you know? >> anywhere from miami northward along the eastern seaboard is going to watch it. in the short-term, still getting rain in haiti and the dominican republic and the center of the storm getting very close to the eastern tip of cuba. didn't have a whole lot of interaction with land. hugged the western tip of this peninsula in haiti and now it's getting very close to going over this eastern tip of cuba. so not a lot of time over land, which can disrupt a storm. water very, very warm, so we'll see it likely maintain its category four storm for the foresuable future. we'll maybe see some spots up to 40 inches of rain by the time this is done. and the bahamas is where this is going to be going to next. take a look at what happens with

for example, barack obama in 2007 and 2008 wasn't as well known as donald trump and hillary clinton arend so much attention even in the early to late part of 2015 that a lot of voer voters had a very good idea of donald trump and hillary clinton. of course, we've had so many different news cycles, so many ups and downs as you alluded to but to me, it's amazing that the ballot is exactly where it was in january 2016, a 10 point lead for hillary clinton. >> let's talk about the strong play for arizona and colorado. on one hand, depending, of course, on the national poll, the lead is 4 to 11 but we know there's a lead for hillary clinton right now. what kind of level of confidence does it show that she's now focused in on arizona? it's also interesting, mark, with colorado, they pull out ads, win back in. colorado is back and forth here. >> yeah, so arizona is the totally aggressive play. a lot of the reporting is the clinton campaign is concerned about talk from the donald trump campaign, kind of in a rigged election, so one of the ways to blunt that is by winning arizona on election nigh

let me give you another example of free trade agreement senator obama opposes. right now because of previous agreements some made by president clinton, the goods that, and products that we send to colombia, which is our largest agricultural importer of our products, is a hundred -- there's a billion dollars. our businesses have paid so far in order to get our goods in there. because of previous agreements, their goods and products come into our country for free. so senator obama, who has never traveled south of our border, opposes the colombia free trade agreement. the same country that's helping us try to stop the flow of drugs into our country that's killing young americans. and, also, the country that just freed three americans, that will help us create jobs in america because they will be a market for our goods and products without having to pay, without us having to pay the billions of dollars, the billion dollars and more that we've already paid. free trade, with colombia, is something that's a no brainer. but maybe you ought to travel down there and visit

mccain: i cannot -- obama: we can have serious differences about our health care policy, for example,ohn, because we do have a difference on health care policy, but we -- mccain: we do and i hope -- obama talking about it this : evening. mccain: sure. obama: but when people suggest that i pal around with terrorists, then we're not talking about issues. what we're talking about -- mccain: well, let me just say i would -- schieffer: (inaudible) mccain: let me just say categorically i'm proud of the people that come to our rallies. whenever you get a large rally of 10,000, 15,000, 20,000 people, you're going to have some fringe peoples. you know that. and i've -- and we've always said that that's not appropriate. but to somehow say that group of young women who said "military wives for mccain" are somehow saying anything derogatory about you, but anything -- and those veterans that wear those hats that say "world war ii, vietnam, korea, iraq," i'm not going to stand for people saying that the people that come to my rallies are anything but the most dedicated, patriotic men and women that

to have the effect on the cases the court took with the most obvious example from president obama. from one way or the other. >> union dues cases. so those that they granted certiorari but then there was another one with a granted the opinions but the third and most dangerous but then with the civic legal foundation was involved. and was the leader in the class actions and then after those two decisions to grant this certiorari but the supreme court and i have to think that justice scalia not being on the court has that possibility to do a law with that. >> making up the challenge to these obama player mandate to those that are the religiously based objections with the abortion services that was one that they attack to the lower courts almost certainly would have spent five / four then they come up with a real strange disposition where we will be doing on our own to resolve the case and then for the parties to talk to the lower courts if they would settle the case along the line. and then to do that with a nine member court. >> there were only nine justices to begin with. now you h

example. michelle obama is going there. hillary clinton is sticking to the traditional battleground states.for hillary clinton? what is hillary clinton doing after this? what to they do in the final three weeks? >> hillary clinton has to make her chosen argument. a lot of issues with millennials thinking about voting for the third-party candidates, and get real. michelle obama is the better surrogate for hillary clinton out there on the trail than hillary clinton is for herself. so but their strategy certainly is to make trump play in some of mees red states like arizona even maybe texas, and really keep him on defense. that's how they'll kroclose it down. >> the rnc chair didn't want to see donald trump there. how many more days will that last until a big invite, come to phoenix, donald trump? >> exactly. >> manu, many races around the country. battle for supremacy is on right now. what are you hearing about the down ballot race? >> so incredibly race. could go either way. a handful of races are within the margin of error even your traditional toss-up. >> earlier in the cycle? >> still clo

romney and mccain beat barack obama by double digits, for example, despite losing nationwide in the last elections. clinton's gains are surprising and the newspaper endorsements she's received. five of the largest newspapers have endorsed her. "dallas morning news," which hadn't endorsed a democrat in 75 years. by contrast, trump has won a single endorsement in the state by the -- you guys make me -- it will waxahachie daily light. i'm apologetic to the people in waxahachie. i was not prepared for that. joining me now, ross ramsey, executive editor of the texas tribune. how do you say it? >> you got it right, waxahachie is exactly right. >> barely right. what's going on in texas and as far as you can can tell is this a pro clinton democrat thing or just an anti-trump thing? >> it's mostly an anti-trump thing. we have it has a close race. i would say it's a race within the margin of error and it is, but there's a pattern of polls. there's four or five polls that preceded the texas tribune, university of texas poll that all have trump leading by a little bit. i would call it -- it's a trum
