giving ridiculous speeches about romneysia.ve a great political speech years ago and talking about romneysia. he is doing that to get the demographics, the young people et cetera. what he is, forfeited is the stature of a president and i think romney is trying to portray himself as exactly that. that could be the winning strategy. >> bret: where does this benghazi story go? do you think? >> it's being carried by fox and a pew other outlets. i think unfortunately, because of the silence of the other media it will likely have a life after election day. it will prove a true scandal. but i can't see it breaking between now and then because the white house, the administration is going to stone wall. and delay. they may succeed in doing that if the press is not on their heels. >> i don't agree. >> l.a. and new york. people asked about it. it didn't mention it in my talk, about politics. people raised it. i think the combination of the lack of security in the first place, the failure to be ready to do something when it began and cover

. >> we joke about romneysia but all of this speaks to what is important in this election and that is issue of trust. you know, when you elect a president, you're counting on somebody you can trust to fight for you. who you can trust to do what they say they're going to do. who can trust -- that you can trust to make sure that when something unexpected happens, he or she will be thinking about your family, your future. trust matters and, florida, you know me. you know i say what i mean and i mean what i say. >> now there are nine so-called battleground states, not one of them more important than ohio, especially mitt romney. no republican has ever been elected president without winning ohio. gop candidate is hitting three parts that have state. president obama has a five-point edge in ohio. mitt romney says the president has no plan to move ohio and the country forward. >> he has now resorted to talking about saving characters on sesame street and word games and, of course, he continues to launch these misdirected attacks at me. he knows they're not accurate and they're not making muc
