differently. but i do think he s sorry and embarrassed about it. no question many my mind. i was there when he found about it. and there is no question he s embarrassed by it. but i think he should have been much more direct and focused on just saying i m sorry and only i m sorry. and ben carson also trying to downplay the scandal. as i was growing up people were always trying to talk about their sexual conquests. and rudy giuliani made light of the tape in knocking hillary clinton. boy that is as phony as i can t say the word because i have to nice. i might say it back in the locker room. falling mind in the polls trump is ramping up rhetoric openly engaging the idea of jailing clinton if he s elected. and blasted trump for that threat adding it would be like a banana republic. in response to trump s
i they that abc number is bogus. if that s flawed and donald trump can push down that number of democrats that is a good thing. but here is where it is risky. he should focus on the issues. what we hear is neither of these candidates are telling me how they are going to better my life. i think mike pence did a nice job balancing that with criticizing hillary clinton. donald trump did a better job too but the heavier issues so joe, does it concern you do see donald trump spending time going after speaker ryan and other republicans? well it will concern some people he s going after speaker ryan and also concerns some that ryan is abandoning trump. only 1 out of 10 republicans are saying donald trump shouldn t be our nominee. if you go back to 2012 and new york times exit polls. 1 out of 10 republicax republic vote for for rom. and i think someone like trump
who s in texas today raising money for the whole republican party: i think the question has to go back to paul ryan and say aren t you causing the problem yourself. errol does going after ryan and other rrp, you could also make the argument that fires up his base and emboldens them to come out. the fighting against the establishment. democratic or republican has been part of the trump rant from day one. for him to now say i ve got the shack lsz off that is what his base wants to hear. we should also point out what paul ryan s support is worth is questionable. look at wisconsin four years ago. when paul ryan was in fact on the ticket and couldn t pull it off then. so what was he going to do this year that trump really needs? an open question. i should also say i think negative campaigning is not done because it doesn t work. it is done because it does work. it does suppress the vote. it does get people so disgusted. the moderates, the undecided.
sample saz nine point lead for clinton. republicans came back to trump after the debate. still nine points with four weeks to go. at this point this 2012 mitt romney was up one point. we know how this race turned out. this is a huge problem for donald trump. a lot of people think this means game over. with both candidates campaigning in florida where do trump and clinton stand there? they are both there because it is a very competitive state right now as it was in 2012. the closest in 2012 between obama and rom. clinton with a three point lead in florida. that is within the margin of error so you would call which a statistical dead heat. this poll was taken before the debate and before the tape kale out so we need updated data to see if it moved but clinton with slight lead beforehand. this is a very kmef state. hillary clinton trails among men to donald trump. she has about the same size lead among women. so you have your gender split there.
trump to begin with. new polling by the wall street journal and nbc shows trump now lags hillary clinton 25 percentage points among white women with college degrees, the group that mitt romney won in 2012. that said, not all women see trump s comments through the same lens. randi kaye tonight reports. reporter: they dined over salad and lemonade and dished about donald trump. it doesn t sound like his voice at all. i listened to it four times. reporter: these women are all members of texas well for trump, and all longtime supporters of the republican nominee. it seems not even the leaked tape on which trump is heard bragging about grabbing women s genitals will change that. how many of you are willing to write this off as locker room banter, as donald trump says? i think all of you? i have two brothers, my dad, military family. i ve heard words worse. i ve seen things worse. the word is a little derogatory.
