Transcripts For CNNW Wolf 20161104

Companies are leaving. Insurers are fleeing. Doctors are quitting and deductibles are going through the roof. Other than that, its a fantastic health care. Fantastic. Its really fabulous. Isnt it . It was bad before they ever did it. Vup to say, im ive called a lot of things over the years, jit but i said obama care is not going to work before it even was approved. He got it approved by lies. Keep your doctor, keep your plan and even democrats that didnt wants it, in e said, all right. He got people, they wish they didnt approve it now. Believe me. It a catastrophe, yet Hillary Clinton wants to make it even more expensive than it already is, and it does work. Im asking for your vote so we can replace obama care and Save Health Care for every family in New Hampshire and every family in this country. Real change all donald trump speaking in atkinson, New Hampshire, raling Hillary Clinton on the investigation, review under way now and also on the affordable kash a care act, obama care. Issues addressing several days sticking closely to his script. Welcome to viewers in the United States and around the world. Im wolf blitzer reporting from washington. Were in the home stretch now. The final four days of the u. S. President ial campaign. Heres how close the race is right now. Our new electoral projection map shows several states too close to call. Well dig into that in a moment. Raising importance of voter turnout. The main focus now. All about motivation and emotion. On the left of your screen, our live pictures, pictures from atkinson, New Hampshire, where donald trump is speaking at a Campaign Rally right now. As i said, hes sticking so far very closely to his script, and on the right, looking at live pictures from Hillary Clinton organizing event in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. Where shes working to put the keystone state in the win column, and also speaking this hour. Coverage of that for you as well. Meantime, bring in the panel. Chief Political Correspondent dana bash is with us and john king, anchor of next cnn, and Gloria Borger and cnn political analyst david gregory. Gloria, hes being very, very disciplined right now. We just saw donald trump. A little part of his speech. Doing at least three speeches today but sticking very closely to what his advisers have told him, basically saying to him, you know what . Youre on a roll right now. Keep to the teleprompter. If it aint broke, dont fix. A clear avenue based on the message from the fbi and honing in on the message, Hillary Clinton dishonesty, not trustworthy. Unfit to be president. Which is turning the tables on her to a great degree, because thats what she says about him. That it is working for him. He is sticking to his scripted. Its a simple message. For the first time in a long time hes got a message that he really shares with every republican running down ballot. So it works for him. It works for their candidates down ballot, exactly what they need at this point in the campaign. Talk about how its working for him, but so far, he is showing discipline at this late stage. He sounds like a republican which is usually a good way to get republicans to vote for you. And i think what we dont talk about a lot is that this consolidation of republicans is about repealing obama care. Its about nothing in washingtons going to get done because shell be under the microscope on her emails, that shes going to raise taxes on richer americans. Shes going to spend a lot. I think hes been most successful in the debates and after that when he sounds like the more generic republican. And republicans now sensing that its close are thinking, geez, do i want to hang back and be the reason hes not going to win whether a wealthy donor nor a state with a tight jrace . Thats part of whats going on. John, looking at the projection map of electoral votes. Hillary clinton moved above the magic number of 270 to below that. Still to her advantage look at the map on the screen. Shes under 270 now. Significant. A tightening of the race. Davids point, mostly because republicans are coming home. Changed utah. Its not a big deal that, shouldnt be a big deal were moving that to len republican. Took that long because of a conservative never trump challenger in utah in a tie for the polls. Donald trump way underare performing mitt romney 74 but confident donald trump will get there. And clan not given up. Shell be in ohio today. Back over the weekend. Moving ohio to lean republican which is a big deal. Part of the demographic shifts in america, older white voters moving towards the rust belt. Moving towards the republican party. And maine, electoral votes based on congressional districts, and the Clinton Campaign convinced trump will win. Leaning republican. And taking New Hampshire the four away from Hillary Clinton. Leaning democrat. Its a tossup state because of several polls in the last 27 hours showing an essential dead heat in arizona. Look at plmap. Hillary clinton recedes. Not as strong as ten days ago without a doubt. Still look at that map. Even if donald trump wins all the gold, its not enough. Donald trump has to taurn ligur blue state, virginia, pennsylvania, donald trump has a problem. The hill is steep. Not as steep as a few days ago. And still North Carolina, ohio, critically important. Hillary clinton wins one of those three, shes well on her way. No question. The map showed that clearly. Florida and North Carolina, particularly North Carolina, will be the one well end up watching late into Election Night. Ohio is interesting to me. Early in the general election, the democrats, Hillary Clinton aides privately were saying they didnt thought ohio was gone. With the kind of republican they were running against, with the message he has, which is these bad trade deals have stolen your jobs. Youre not getting ahead. The system is rigged. That would play big in ohio. Then it was more competitive for a while than even the democrats stead would be. Now privately, both sides think at this point ohios gone. That ohio will go trump. And structurally important. Showed that fourpoint national lead. Obama romney race four years ago a tie. Shes in stronger shape. Interesting. In weaker shape than 2012 in ohio, iowa and New Hampshire. Three older whiter states. Stronger in florida and North Carolina. Mitt romney led those states. Clinton that a small lead pap bit of a shift. Demographics. And were showing a tighter race in the state of georgia, for example. Than we ever thought we were going to see. That is benefits her. Benefits her. Thats demographics as well. You see michigan being tighter, for donald trump. You know, you talk about the trade issue and you talk about losing jobs. That benefits him. So this elections going to be so interesting as we watch these demographic shifts, in a state like florida. When you see hispanic voter turnout, and early voting going up so high. So well be able to watch the way the country is changing, as we look at this election. A lot depends on the ground game, david. Who can get the vote out during the final four days . Because theres still a lot of early voting. More than 30 million americans already voted. Crucially important and also its a different year. Talk about the Obama Coalition, young people, minorities women from 2008 and 2012. Hillary clinton would like to build her own coalition. Young people. Probably more hispanics than as strong africanamerican support and maybe College Educated whites could swing back to republicans. That coalition is so important. North carolina talk to clinton folks, highest percentage jump of latino voters compared to anywhere in the country in North Carolina, really significant. Then how are the demographics mattering . Nevada early voting could be essentially wrapped up for her meaning all our talk and staying up late nor North Carolina and florida may not matter for her getting to 270 if she hangs on to nevada and pennsylvania. On the question getting out the vote. Talk about the democratic machine, obviously has been very, very good for two cycles now. Presumably it continues to build on that for Hillary Clinton. The republicans stepped up their game in a big way. I did a story on it yesterday, and its on cnn. Com now looking at the way that they it, and just to be honest, donald trump got really lucky, because the republican nominees have been just like the democratic nominee, have been really focused on getting out the vote and the ground game, but because the republicans got their clock so cleaned in 2012, the rnc decided they would take control. Therefore, trump is the beneficiary of it and its very, very dated to get out the vote. Everybody stay put. Waiting for Hillary Clinton. Shes about to speak as well. Its getting close. Only four days left. Also coming up, the last jobs report before the lection elect. Clinton pointed out president obama the progress, donald trump says disastrous. Whos jright . Well explain what the latest numbers show. And take a look at the Hillary Clinton rally in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. We expect her to come to the stage any moment. Well go there. Stay with us. Oh no, that looks gross whoa, twhat is that . Try it. You gotta try it, its terrible. I dont wanna try it if its terrible. Its like mango chutney and burnt hair. No thank you, i have a very sensitive palate. Just try it guys, i think we should hurry up. If you taste something bad, you want someone else to try it. Its what you do. I cant get the taste out of my mouth if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. Its what you do. Shhh dog, dog, dog. Day here in washington, d. C. Looking at live pictures. Theres the white house behind us. The Washington Monument at well. Any moment Hillary Clinton takes the stage in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. Were going to have live coverage. Well go that speech once she starts talking. Mark cuban, by the way, owner of the Dallas Mavericks in the nba, a pittsburgh native, is going to be introducing Hillary Clinton there in pittsburgh. Meantime, the last jobs report before the election shows solid growth. Thats good news for now. But a new forecast from citigroup reports it may be different, there may be a different depending on the outcome of the president ial race. Going to alison kosik. Break down the latest jobs numbers. What does it mean for the economy . This jobs report, wolf, really shows that the jobs picture is on a steady and stable path forward. I mean, look at the unemployment rate. Fell from 5 to 4. 9 . 161,000 jobs were created in the month of october, but the real headline out of this jobs report is what you see on the far right. Wage growth. That 2. 8 . Wages actually grew 2. 8 over the past year. This is the best wage growth weve seen in years meaning some americans, maybe Many Americans are seeing fatter paychecks making americans feel better about the economy, especially better maybe as they head to the voting booth on tuesday. Now, donald trump did come out way statement after this report came out. Of course, looking at it through a political lens, saying that the jobs report was disastrous. I find pretty difficult to call this report disastrous, but there is one point in this statement that i do agree with. He points to, as Labor Force Participation rate that is something hes really been harping on for a while counting as the number of people working and the number of people who are looking for work. That is actually at historic lows. At lows we havent seen since the 1970s. People are dropping out of the labor force, and a lot of economists are scratching their heads woand wondering why. Wolf . Whats the citi Group Prediction . Prepare ourselves for some sharp postelection market swings . Citi is predicting its analysts are that if trump wins we could see the s p 500 fall anywhere between 3 and 5 immediately. It predicted that a trump win would risk the u. S. Put the u. S. Economy at risk. The u. S. Economy looking at Slower Growth and possibly a recession. These analysts also predicting that a clinton win wouldnt move stocks significantly. Why is it that investors you would think would be excited to have a billionaire for president , why theyre not rallying behind donald trump . Because hes seen as a wild card, and Hillary Clinton is seen as more predictable. She is considered the continuity candidate. One thing wall street hates, instability and uncertainly. Thats how wall street views donald trump. Wolf . All right, alison, thanks very much. Hillary clinton once again getting ready to speak on the u. S. Economy and other issues in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. Pennsylvania, an important key battleground state. Looking at live pictures. You see mark cuban. There he is. Owner of the Dallas Mavericks from pittsburgh introducing Hillary Clinton. Were going to go there in a moment. I want to take a quick look hour her economic plans compare to Donald Trumps economic plans. Hillary clinton would raise taxes on the wealthiest americans. Raise the estate tax by as much as 65 . Spend 275 billion on infrastructure and push for a 15 minimum hour wage. Cut cuts rates, lower Corporate Tax race to 15 . Renegotiate trade deals and limit itemized deductions. Bring back our panel. Gloria, first of all, the jobs report. The numbers that came out today, politically there could be an impact . Right. As alison was say, the big number that is important for Hillary Clinton, because these are good numbers for her. The big number thats important is the 2. 8 wage growth. People in this country feel like they havent had a raise in the last 10, 15 years. Suddenly theres a sense their wages are starting to increase. When you feel it in your pocketbook, its good for the person in charge. Hillary clinton has hugged barack obama very tightly during this election. His popularity is up. People are beginning to feel things are getting a little better for them, and that can only be good for her as a democrat. Republicans will say these things havent moved quickly enough, and wages should have increased faster. Of course, getting rid of these trade deals will help, but this says that the u. S. Economy is doing okay, and the people are finally feeling it. And im old enough to remember when campaigns would hold their breath. Right. Before the first friday of the month, particularly when it came right before election day, because jobs reports were so important in moving numbers, because at the end of the day, people do vote on the economy more than anything else and it sort of struck me as you were talking about how different this is, because this is such a characterdriven election cycle. As, in terms of the narrative and how the candidates are going at one another, when at the end of the day with the voters, what they really care about, whether there is a job or more importantly in this day and age, whether wages are high enough. Go state by state. The national unemployment, 7 spiked to 10 . Now its 5 , 4. 9 nationally. In almost every key battleground state half or more than half, shrinking, than when he took office. Hillary clinton can make that case. Can say the half is glass fulls in a ditch but getting better. Donald trump has sow say half every pempty. Gloria frames this perfectly. Do people feel it in their pocketbook . If they do continuity is okay. Remember 1988. Numbers good for george h. Bush, but came late. Do people feel it . Didnt feel it yet. And ronald reagan, better off than four years ago . Better off today than four or eight years ago . That has an impact. It does, but still many people and so many trump voters, for example, who feel outside of this Economic Growth and feel outside of the economy generally. Interestingly, i was looking at numbers among hispanic voters. Top conserve, economy and increase in wages. Even a higher percentage than seeing comprehensive immigration reform. This cuts across all demographic boundaries and is really a question whether youre feeling the impact and Progressive Growth in the economy. The bigger kind of legislative question, policy question is, how much growth is realistic growth in the u. S. Economy and what can washington do to actually have an impact on that . Thats where plans are one thing and what washington does with either one of those plans is quite another. I was thinking as you showed that on the tv, i was thinking, okay. How are either of these people going to get any of this passed through congress . You say, okay. I want to increase taxes on the wealthy. Well, see what the democrats decide to do about that. You need a mandate from voters. This election hasnt been about policy. George w. Bush won by the supreme court. Bill clinton got middle class tax cuts but campaigned on it. These two dont. Ed issue david pointed out earlier, donald trump is campaigning now on the question of the increases in obama care premiums. And i think that does affect people and scares people, because health care is so important to every family in this country and they want to make sure they have it. And a good point earlier. Dont forget when president obama took office, in 2009, january 20th, 2009, the country was losing 600,000 job as month. In the worst recession since the Great Depression. Right. If you will. Since then, there have been 73 months in a row consecutively of jobs growth, and i know he gets frustrated a lot of supporters frustrated hes not getting credit for it. No question. One of the most energetic riffs president obama has right now on the campaign trail especially in younger audiences, he says, you know, when i was elected many of you all were 10. Talks how he feels old and goes back to say, you dont understand it now but at that time the economy was in free fall and giving a lot of the numbers, and, about how bad it really was. I mean, remember, back then, john mccains campaign effectively ended the bottom completely dropped out the day Lehman Brothers collapsed. In september of 2008. Stow was because of the bad economy, and, yes. Compared to that, during the entire time, president obama has been president , things are much better. But its about how you feel in your home with your bank account, with your pocketbook, with the things you have to buy for your kids and health care and so forth. Thats what hattermatters. Obama on the campaign trail saying, thank you, obama. Sort of reminding them where the country has come over the last eight years which is, i think, when we hear from Hillary Clinton talking about the economy that is exactly what shes going to say. We keep saying this is about personal characteristics, fitness to serve. A lot of our elections are like that. No issue generated. 2008, it was really about leadership in a crisis. Thats what that moment when john mccain wanted to suspend, did not have the debating, when barack obama handled himself bet the people looked, said can this guy handle this. Thats what matters. Were not talking about the thing likely to befall the next administration in terms of a crisis. We covered george bush and he didnt campaign on 9 11. They happen and it become as leadership test. Why the fitness for office questions are so fundamental, whether its in an economic crisis atmosphere or whatever kind of crisis atmosphere were in now. Everybody stand by. And obama officials also remind us when the he took office the dow jones 7,000. Now over 15,000 or so. Says you know what . Why they feel frustrated and dont get credit for that. Well talk about that. Certainly the economy isnt perfect. Catch all day kcoverage of the election this coming tuesday.

Were going to go there 23in a moment when she sgets gets to the substance of her remarks. The Vice President , joe biden, speaking in madison, wisconsin now, were monitoring his remarks as well and were following breaking nugsz at the same time. Guilty on all counts. The verdict for two former officials linked to governor Chris Christies office for the closure of larns on the new jersey bridge. Bridget anne kelly and bill baroni each faced seven counts including conspiracy and fraud. Cnns Deborah Feyerick has been koevg the story what are the details and what does it mean for governor Chris Christie . Reporter it means two people very close to him have now been found guilty of manipulating Public Resources and did this specifically by closing different traffic lanes at a very busy bridge, the George Washington bridge, that connects manhattan and new jersey, and they not only closed those lanes but created such bad gridlock for four days they actually deprived drivers, taxpayers, of their right to pass freely. Thats what they were found guilty of essentially. All of this happen eed allegedl because they wanted to punish a mayor who refused to support Chris Christie for his reelection campaign. Now, the jury got this case monday. Chris christie kept a very low profile since then. He had no public schedule. Today, though, once the guilty verdict came down he issued a very harsh statement against his two lawyerists or former loyalists saying, like so many people in new jersey im saddened by this case and saddened about the choices made by bill baroni, brimp bridget k and brownstein, all testified against the governor, that in fact the governor did know about those lane closures. Christie goes on and says, let me be clear. I had no knowledge prior to or during these lane erealignments and no role in authorizing them. No evidence presented to contradict that fact. Anything in court said is simply untrue. And his former deputy of staff said, yes, he did know and was told presumably because these closures were part of a traffic study. Now, the prosecutor was asked by reporters if youre indicting, if all of these people in our being found guilty that are so close to the governor, why not indict the governor . The prosecutor said, only that he made cases against all of those people near the governor where there was reasonable evidence to convict. Deborah feyerick, thanks very much for that update.

Hillary clinton now at her first event of the day speaking in pittsburgh, pennsylvania. Later goes on to michigan and ohio. Just a few moments ago, she said this you know, when you debate in front of, you know, 60 million, 70 million, 80 millionplus people, youve got to have a sense of preparation. Readiness. Calmness. Composure. And ill tell you, some of what i heard coming from my opponent it was really hard not to go, what did you say . You know, he kept he kept saying things like, well what have you done for 30 years . And well, we know what hes done for 30 years, and i mean, back in the 70s he started with discriminating against africanamericans and latinos by refusing to rent them apartments in new york. He has a long history of insulting people. It did not just start in the campaign. You can go back and and find what he said about all kinds of folks. And one of the things i discovered in preparing for the debates, which i was kind of surprised by is that he took out a fullpage ad in 1987 to criticize president reagan. So she a equal opportunity insulter. Hillary clinton speaking in pittsburgh as this president ial race, by the way, comes to a head tuesday, Election Security is top of mind right now for u. S. Law enforcement officials. Cnn is learning about possible threats against three states and concerns about hacking of Election Results here in the United States. Our justice correspondent evan perez and jim sciutto joins us now. Evan what are you learning about this . Wolf, right now joint Terrorism Task forces led by the fbi are checking out some chatter, some threats that were made and was picked up by, intercepted conversations overseas among al qaeda, or suspected al qaeda supporters. These threats, again, spoke about possible activities in new york, in virginia, and texas. Perhaps some kind of threat to the u. S. Election on election day, or near election day. Again, its not very specific, and at this point, Law Enforcement doesnt even know how credible it is, but it is obviously something that theyre going to look at and want to keep a close eye on. It is, wolf, without a doubt, something that they were expecting. This is normal. This time of year, or every four years, rather. When it comes to election day they expects threats and again are on guard for them and it should be et noed, wolf, theyve been working on this a couple of weeks and have not yet been able to find any credible information to back it up. So that, we have to add all of this, because obviously at this point theres not much they can go with. We did get a statement from the new york police department, new York City Police department, and one of the things they said was, pretty much what i just said. Which wases that the threat lacks specificity and is something theyre trying to work to check the credibility of, wolf. Jim sciutto, what about the Cyber Threats from russia . What are you hearing . First i think we should start with this. Ap consistent assessment we hear both from u. S. Cyber Security Officials, also from Cyber Security experts. That is, that the risk of Cyber Attacks that would change the result of this election, the risk of that is minuscule. Our election system, its too disparate, too widely distributed among states and precincts around the country, that to swing the results of the election, thats not a great concern. That said, there is a great concern about an Information Operation led by russia, which in effect is already under way, and thats a number in a number of different ways. One is these hacked documents and emails that, to this point have been solely focused on the democratic party, released by wikileaks but backed by russia. Part of a way to interrupt the process. Sow doubts about one of the candidate. In the near future, a possibility of more documents doctored by russia mixed in with the otherwise genuine documents. One thing theyre watching. Concern there have been detections of attempts to access Voter Registration systems in a number of states, and the dhs now helping some 48 states, virtually every state ins union, asked for help to protection from these kinds of hacks. They havent detected evidence at this point that those voter data bases have been alter in any way, but concern is at some point they might be and on election day you have a risk, perhaps, of voters coming to their voting place and being told, wait. This is not your name. This is not your address. That kind of thing is a risk. That, of course, sows confusion and possibly doubts about the process. The final kind of risk theyre looking at are denial of service attacks. These are where websites are bombarded with attacks by bots, in effect, from around the world. But those kinds of attacks on things like mapping systems. So that on election day, youre checking voter polling place, and you cant use your map function. Something as simple as that, just, again, to sow difficulty on the day of election. Multiple issues taking them seriously, wolf, but they are saying they still have confidence in the ballot counting process. Thats key. Very quickly, jim, there are these reports that the u. S. Through diplomatic channels has issued a warning to russia to stop it. Are you hearing that . Reporter this is something where the u. S. Has messaged russia they take this very seriously. The step they have not taken as of yet is to respond with either sanctions or the possibility of a response or retaliatory cyber attack. Jim chute oh thanks very much.

President barack obama is back on the campaign trail today with two scheduled stopped in North Carolina as he tries to motivate voters. He boarded air force one moments ago. More on the president s push and most popular catch phrase. Hello, miami reporter in the final days of this race for the white house, were seeing more and more of the president on the trail. In full campaign mode. And if youve heard the president speak this week, youve no doubt heard this line come on, man come on, man. Come on, man reporter yes, its catchy, and the crowds love it. But do you know where it comes from . Could it be a line of cajun seasonings from former nfl running back Charles Alexander or from Vice President joe biden. Come on, man. Reporter or maybe from watching sports on tv. The phrase has been a regular segment on monday night footballs coverage for the past eight years. It started in 2008, the same year he was elected president. Espn uses it to call out the sillier side of football. Come on, man there really is no doubt in our mind that hes paying homage to our show. Weve talked about his delivery, its an a. He has the inflection down perfectly, the exasperation in his voice is perfect. Hes watched a lot. I know hell have free time on his hands come 2017 so maybe hell join us for a segment. Its a piece of pop culture, one the president might have picked up from his nights watching espn at the white house. Now a favorite line on the campaign trail. While espn is taking the credit, the white house tells me theyre not sure where the president picked up the phrase and point out its a common saying. One more point, wolf. I covered the president s 2008 run for the white house and hes been bringing back classic lines from that campaign on the stump. Like when the crowd boos something he says about trump or republicans he tells them dont boo, vote. Theres also this mythical cousin pooky he likes to talk about when hes urging folks to get their friends and relatives to the polls. This come on, man line is a new favorite and, who knows, maybe a new classic. Wolf . Probably will be, athena. Thanks very, very much. Well watch later today, by the way, a little over an hour from now when president obama makes his next stop, this one in fayetteville, North Carolina, his target is clear young voters, minority voters. Here with us right now is ben le bolt, the press secretary from president obamas 2012 reelection campaign. Ben, thanks for joining us. Thanks, wolf. You remember 2008. You saw that report, brought back, im sure, some memories. Whats your analysis of come on, man . The funny thing is the president the whole time has been sort of he reinvented politics in that hes a casual guy when hes talking to crowds and a natural campaigner. The most natural campaigner weve seen since president clinton so the most recent time i heard about it was when he was talking about marco rubio campaigning so hard against donald trump but then saying hes for him. Come on, man. Have you seen changes over these eight years . You were with him back in 2008, went to chicago, you saw when he was elected president of the United States. How is his rhetoric, if you will, his style, his speech, his delivery changed . You have to remember i worked for him in the u. S. Senate as well. Is how much 2008 was a Game Changing year, most of that president ial campaign was focused on getting out of the war in iraq and passing health care and just a month before election day we entered the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression sand when he entered office we were in years of an emergency state around that. We were hemorrhaging hundreds of thousands of jobs a month. Just to watch him etch away at those problems over time and the progress weve made to get to where we are today where we had a good jobs report, wages are going up, weve had months and months of growth there, hes reformed wall street. All of this is on the line and youre seeing him on the campaign trail again having gotten through that crisis and hes having a little bit of fun at the end of the presidency. How much of that campaigning is designed to protect his legacy, if you will, as opposed to just trying to get Hillary Clinton elected. Well, i think two things. Number one, his wilegacy is on e line and Hillary Clinton will be dependent on voters in the Obama Coalition to win so North Carolina which hadnt been in play for democrats before 2008 when the president put together a coalition of millennials. Of diverse voters, of voters who recently moved into the state and won an unexpected victory in that state. When we look at Election Night next tuesday, it may all come down to a state like North Carolina which hadnt been in play for democrats before so motivating those voters to protect things like the 20 million who were ensured because of obamacare or wall street reform, thats on the line on tuesday night. He won North Carolina 2008 but narrowly lost it in 2012, as you, im sure, sadly, remember. I do. But more importantly from your perspective, he won the election. Exactly. Thats what matters on tuesday as well. Ben la bolt, thank you for bringing back memories from years past. After the break, well look back at a very historic moment in president ial campaign history.
