. >> joining me now is former mitt romney campaign adviser, stuart stevens, cnn political commentatorior adviser, dan pfeiffer, and cnn analyst gloria borger. gloria, what do you think of how the clinton campaign handled the dissemination of this information? because it really wasn't until that video came out that the public was informed, that reporters were informed that she'd, diagnosed on friday with pneumonia. >> right. what was surprising to me in your interview, anderson, was when you asked her about her penchant for privacy. she said, i didn't think this would be that big of deal. which really surprised me because donald trump has been talking about hillary clinton's stamina and her health with innuendo for this entire campaign so i believe what occurred is she was clearly worried it would become a campaign issue and that is why the press wasn't told about it on friday. now, i know a lot of people believe that everybody gets pneumonia on campaigns and part of that is trues and lots of candidates get sick and they don't tell people about it. but what occurred here clearly was a

also former romney campaign adviser, stuart stevens.ften criticized because of his tone, you thought secretary clinton could use prepping in that respect after last night's forum. >> well, what clearly happened there, she got hit with a number of questions right at the top about e-mail then they went to the first questioner who also asked about e-mail and i think in a half-hour show, she felt that too much was being placed on that one question and she was irritated and her irritation showed throughout as she was asked -- answering the other questions. i think it hurt her and i think there's a lesson in that for her as she prepares for these debates. you have to be able to shake those things off. >> you can't allow irritation even if it's justifiable in some cases to kind of impact your performance overall. >> no, i think it's really, really important because she was there to address this room of veterans and when you start answering questions in an irritated tone, it's as if you're speaking to them in irritation and that's very counterp

. >> stuart stevens, he was asked how he would deal with isis and we got no answer to that. >> look, donald trump has stated his position, he thinks it was a conspiracy that was founded by the president of the united states. he said barack obama founded isis. this is the problem with donald trump. you know, he takes a truth and wraps it in so many lies you can't see the truth. i personally think there's a lot of culpability of things that could have been done better. we have a human disaster in sere yachlt it's impossible to have this discussion with donald trump when he just sort of talks about this stuff and doesn't really say anything. i hope they ask donald trump some serious questions like, what is the difference between sunny and shiite. his depth of knowledge is that of a guy that was on the apprentice. >> he was asked serious questions today. general flynn asked good questions, that was good question. >> obviously, he's being sarcastic, the point remains that -- >> he's got a lot -- >> wait. >> isis was born on hillary clinton's watch. the middle east is blown up on obama and

joining me, cnn political commentator, david axelrod and former romney campaign adviser stuart stevense are about two months from election day. what does trump do at this point to get undecided voters behind him? >> i think he has to reassure them and he also has to talk, i think, about in more specifics some policy about what he would do. you need to know more what you're going to get with a trump presidency. right now, trump has a certain number of votes. but he's not doing nearly as well as mitt romney did with certain key groups of republicans like white women. these are -- and more educated voters. these are the key to winning a state like pennsylvania. it's ultimately one of the keys to winning a state like virginia. northern virginia voters. and in florida, in cincinnati suburbs. these are the voters he has to talk to. and you can't sort of take this breitbart approach. these aren't people who read breitbart. they want to know what they're getting when they buy a president. i think trump, it's just kind of, you know, famous box of chocolates. you don't know what you're going to

i was just reading stuart stevens who played the moderator in 2000 for george bush's debate prep. he had a tip with don't swim upstream. he said we've seen candidates wanting to go back two questions. go back at something. >> yeah. >> a particularly egregious untroou untruth that's been told. you can get caught in only doing that. >> it's so easy because you are righteous in how right you are and how terrible they are. a lot of people who are watching this haven't been following it like we have been. so they don't know the nuts and bolts of six bruankruptcies or e 3,000 lawsuits where he has been a chiseller. the more time you spend on that the less time you spend about your plans and she has got a great agenda. >> i think this lays out the dilemma in the clearest terms i have heard. when you look at the polling, what you see is her ceiling has been higher than his. so there is some set of persuadable voters in there between 42, 43, 48, some people that could be -- consider themselves voting for hillary clinton and a big part of what -- i think opinions on donald trump are pretty

with me, former mitt romney campaign adviser, stuart stevens. corey lewandowski. clinton supporter, national moveon.org spokesperson, karine jean-pierre. and gloria borger. karine, do you think this has lasting repercussions for secretary clinton? it does play into, you know, some of the suggestions and narrative that we've been hearing from donald trump and the donald trump campaign. does it have lasting repercussions? >> i think it has a -- it's a distraction, right, but no lasting effect. look, she has a common illness that 5 million to 10 million americans get every day, right, and in the short term she'll get over this and she'll move on. >> isn't it more about how the campaign handled it and not disseminating the information even on that day after people knew something was going on? >> the campaign has said themselves, look, they could have handled this a lot better. they're right. they could have done that. one thing i wanted to point out, you had sanjay gupta in the 8:00 hour. he was able to list out all of the medications that hillary clinton takes and th

[laughter] i give to you my friend stuart stevens. >> thank you, andy. [applause] so what we're going to do, we're going to have questions for about 20 minutes, so we'll have plenty of time for that. and before that we'll dive into this. let me just introduce these two gentlemen quickly. i've known trent lott, he doesn't know this, since i was a page for thad cochran. and he was chief of staff for a then-democratic congressman. most of us coming up mississippi politics of that era, we all worked for democrats. i worked for william winter. i worked in all of his losing campaigns. when i finally quit working for him, he was able to win. [laughter] and he confirmed, he has never lost a election in his life, though he maintains that he lost the student body president at university of mississippi, and that should count against him, but i think we'll give him a pass for that. [laughter] but, you know, that's no small thing for anybody. you know, elected to the house a eight times, elected to the u.s. senate four times. he was minority whip, then majority whip,

wizard of oz, pulled back the curtain and have said why am i wasting my money on these idiots like stuart stevensmurphy for? they don't know their heads from poland . >> host: why does the press he him so very much? >> guest:, ... >> host: here you have a candidate who says, there are many reasons to be concerned about prop but here is a candidate who says i'm here to represent the middle class system, i'm here to speak for a rigged system and you think of the press as being a populist system, against the powerful at least that's what they tell the rest of us but almost to a person they come out against trump in a very assertive way. what is that about? >> guest: part of it is what we were just describing. who benefits? not only illegal immigration but in a lot of ways legal immigration, a lot of people do. they get cheap gardeners, cheap made and the gardeners and the maids don't live in their neighborhoods, they live out in the suburbs so it's those, other people's emergency rooms that are being bankrupted. it's other people's schools that can't have pageants anymore because they're spending al

along the republican critics that donald trump is stuart stevens.praised vladimir putin like trump did an compared him to george bush he would have been asked to drop out of the race. do you agreewith that? george bush said he looked i believe to putin's eyes and saw his soul. i believe what trump said that putin was brilliant. he said that's fine f you want to say i'm brilliant, why would i complain? listen, someone is to call me brilliant, you know i'm going to get in a fight over it. >> brian wants you to tell him how good he is at cornhole over and over. let's talk about the debates -- >> brian is a brilliant writer about history. >> yes, he is. we have 18 more days until the first debate. we're so excited to see what really happens. how is donald trump preparing? i know you have compared him to babe ruth. what do you mean about that and how is he prepare? >> i think it's important to remember, babe ruth was a great game player, the best all around baseball player in history, he was both a pitcher and a home run king, but he was not a great prac

stuart was a graduate of el with the stipulation that they be closed until the last justice he served with retired. that was john paul stevens who retired in 2010. the really interesting. we use several interesting collections of justices papers, but stuart was assigned to write the opinion for the majority 5-for saying there's no constitutional obligation to pay for abortions for poor women. i want to review and stewart's draft of his opinion, which is in his papers and was published as he rode at, he said the financial constraints that restricted and aged women's ability to enjoy the full range of constitutionally protected freedom of choice are the product not of governmental restrictions on access to abortions, but rather of an agency. although congress has opted to subsidize medically necessary services generally but not certain medically necessary abortions, the fact remains that the hyde amendment, which is still the lot i see no reason and gentle men with at least the same range of choice in deciding whether to obtain a medically necessary abortion as she would have had the congress had chosen to subsidize health car

in certain cases one of the major reasons, and i think stuart varney spoke about it earlier today on your program, and actually, you know, stevenoore was on with him. it was interesting. varney, i think he's right. you have to grow and maybe have to lower taxes, but i think the point that's more important, to get capital spending back, you have to not do irrational regulation. stuart: we're proud that carl icahn watches the show and frankly, i think he's right, liz. he's right. >> i think he's totally right. it's business investment that's hold back, or the lack of business investment that's holding back the economy. businesses are not spending, why? because they feel under siege. and let's go back to the beginning of the obama white house when there was not a single private sector person in that white house. he still doesn't get it. they don't get it. they've never looked out beyond their little purview liz: to liz's point, business orders and activity at 2008 recession lows, that's the new data coming out. >> that's horrifying liz: six year low. ashley: and investment of cheap money from the fed, that's what you get. tax cuts
