Him because i think hes a badly flawed candidate. on the other hand, i also know if he were president hed probably sign legislation that would be constructive, like repealing of obamacare and restoring sanctions on iran. >> tara, this week senator toomey told another reporter that hes stuck with essentially just stuck there with donald trump and he cant get away from donald trump and cant get too close to him. let me ask you, we heard from scotty there that, you know, shes not going to defend hi...

Cortez masto is not letting up. >> after nine months being his biggest supporter and now realizing donald trumps sink is sinking, no, you dont get credit for that. >> reporter: in the house, trump has become so toxic that speaker paul ryan is scrambling to prevent democrats from picking up the 30 seats they need to win back the majority, but ryans refusal to defend trump is causing some conservatives to threaten his speakership. >> a lot of the people who believe so desperately that we need to p...

Theyve been out raised by $40 million by the democrats. they dont have the same resources. in pennsylvania alone theyre looking to spend $17.2 million compared to pat toomeys 8.5. theres a problem in the final stage. donald trump has been a drag on fundraising and everyone knows it. >> scotty, let me jump to you. tara brings up a good point. ive watched more than my share of clinton and trump rallies over the past year. when a nominee comes up they thank their local members, send this in clinton...

>> i think for trump this was almost the inverse of the last debate. the last debate i thought his strongest moments were the first 30 minutes when he was talking about trade, when he was talking about the economy. then it kind of all went downhill from there. in this debate, i thought his weakest moments were the first 20 minutes. i thought the apology left something to be desired. i thought having the women there didnt really score the points i thought he assumed outside of getting in her head...

>> tara, were getting this statement from melania trump, from mike pence as well. through the campaign the principals are condemning the words of donald trump. >> of his own vice president condemns him. this is unprecedented. jeffrey knows, we go back and forth about this all the time, that i feel that trying to compare ronald regan and donald trump is a disgrace to ronald regans legacy. ronald ragan was a class act, convicted conservative. he actually was -- believed in the -- that the presiden...

Donald trump said i dont have to wait, i jump on her like a -- im not going to use because of the hour. that is essentially sexual assault. tara, from your perspective? >> yeah. i think the dismissing of the -- of what donald trump said is just oh, these are just words. i think that is really missing the point here. no, theyre not words. if you listen to how hes talking about women in this one clip, weve heard several others but this one speaks as though hes already done it. he says, oh, theyll ...

Its about his ego trip and not the actual future of the country. for us to sit here and say that its just elites and people that are condemning donald trump, thats not necessarily true. people who -- people from his own -- even in his own circle cannot defend this because they see that what donald trump is doing is not only is he destroying the party but this is bringing such disrespect to the office of the presidency that its untenable and we need to protect our republicans down ballot and rebu...
