CNNW Anderson Cooper 360 July 30, 2016

Welcome back. We have breaking news this hour. Another revelation in the hacking of the Democratic National committee. This time directly involving the Clinton Campaign itself. First donald trump about to speak in denver after promising earlier this evening in Colorado Springs the time has come for the campaign gloves to come off. Jason carroll is covering team trump and he joins us now. Trump has been criticized for his rhetoric and tone and how hes referenced Hillary Clinton. Today he said though, hes taking the gloves off. Reporter yeah. I think theres a question among some of his critics if the gloves were actually ever on, given all the name calling we have heard even through the primary. Just about everyone who has taken on donald trump, trump has come up with a name for that person, whether it be marco rubio, ted cruz, Hillary Clinton and you know, trump told the crowd here that he was going to go after Hillary Clinton, he told the crowd that hes been mr. Nice guy in the past but not anymore. You know what . I have been saying i have been saying lets just beat her on november 8th but you know what . Well, no. You know what . Im starting to agree with you, ill tell you. Every time i mention her, everyone screams lock her up, lock her up, they keep screaming. You know what i do . I have been nice but after watching that performance last night, such lies, i dont have to be so nice anymore. Donald trumps critics say he lacks the discipline to be president. He addressed that today as well. Reporter well, he did. He said first of all, he says he has the temperament to be president of the united states. He also says he has the discipline. His critics say hes thinskinned, they say he does not have the discipline. One of the things they point to is what just happened with new york citys former mayor Michael Bloomberg. As you know, trump told the crowd one of his friends, a governor, suggested that he not go after bloomberg, this after bloomberg endorsed Hillary Clinton, spoke about him at the convention, basically saying that if he runs the country like he ran his business, god help the country. Trump fired back, firing back on twitter, saying the following. Little Michael Bloomberg who never had the guts to run for president knows nothing about me. His last term as mayor was a disaster. He also said at one point during a rally in iowa that he would really like to hit him, really like to hit him hard. He clarified that position today basically saying he wants to hit him with words, not physically. It should also be noticed that back in 2012, trump actually praised Michael Bloomberg saying that he was a good mayor, but the point is, this all comes down to discipline. You heard his friend telling him look, stay focused on the message, stay focused on Hillary Clinton, something he did not end up doing. Jason carroll, thanks very much. More on the breaking news. The fbi investigating a hack of the Clinton Campaign. Cnns Brianna Keilar has the latest on that. And secretary clintons fis day campaigning since making history last night. First lets talk about the hacking. What do you know . Reporter well, what we knew was that the dnc was involved, then the dccc the political arm of house democrats. Now it appears the Clinton Campaign could be involved in this hacking. The department of justice, the fbi looking into this. The Clinton Campaign pointing out that this is a hacking of the voter analytics data base they share with the dnc and other organizations and they say that right now, outside cybersecurity experts have been looking at their systems. So far theres no indication their internal Communication Systems have been hacked. Certainly very alarming, especially as u. S. Officials think this is hackers in cahoots with russian intelligence. This is not what Hillary Clinton wants to be focusing on. She is trying to push her message the day after the convention on a bus tour through pennsylvania and ohio. I dont know about you, but i stayed up really late last night. It was just hard to go to sleep. Reporter after making her pitch to the nation, Hillary Clinton now has to sell it aggressively until election day. If you listen really closely to the republican convention, you know that donald trump talked for 75 minutes and did not offer one solution. In fact, his speech, his whole convention seemed more about insulting me instead of helping the american people. Reporter she and running mate tim kaine are starting with a bus tour. From philadelphia into western pennsylvania and ohio, as she struggles to appeal to white blue collar workers. Im also going to pay special attention to those parts of our country that have been left out and left behind, from our inner cities to our small towns, from Indian Country to coal country. Reporter 24 years after her husband took an upbeat thousand mile bus tour through appalachia and the midwest, shes seeking to build momentum coming out of this weeks convention. I accept your nomination for president of the united states. Reporter with clinton making history. Standing here as my mothers daughter and my daughters mother, im so happy this day has come. Im happy for grandmothers and little girls and everyone in between. Reporter and trying to convince voters she is the steady and safe alternative to donald trump. Imagine if you dare, imagine, imagine him in the oval Office Facing a real crisis. A man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. Reporter it was at times an unconventional Democratic Convention, with appeals to gop values. I worked for ronald reagan. Donald trump, you are no ronald reagan. How long is this bus tour, whats the objective . Reporter well, the objective is pretty basic. White working class voters. Hillary clinton polls show shes doing pretty well with the obama coalition, hispanic voters, black voters, but her campaign is worried about the appeal that donald trump may hold for White Working Class voters. Even pennsylvania which has voted for a democrat in the president ial election for the last several cycles, theyre worried he could have some appeal. Thats why shes moving through this state and ohio where the polls are very tight between the two candidates. Thanks very much. Back with the panel. Mark, maria, margaret, Scottie Nell Hughes and john. Are you concerned at all that essentially donald trump today on the campaign trail just sort of responded to everything Hillary Clinton said last night and sort of talking about his temperament, hes basically proving her right about if a tweet gets under your skin, you cant have you shouldnt have the Nuclear Codes . Not necessarily. People that know donald trump speak glowingly about him. The people who know Hillary Clinton like the secret Service Agents that guarded her say shes a monster. The real donald trump stop it. Thats ridiculous. Somebody wrote a book, plenty of people have written books about donald trump. Theres plenty of people who know Hillary Clinton lifelong. I dont want to be in position defending Hillary Clinton because im not on her side. Donald trump is not a politician. Hes not going to be politically correct. Hes a successful businessman. Hes a get it done guy. Thats what he is. Thats what hes always been. Hes had women at the top of his corporation before it was fancy to do so. They made the same money as men. Hes had minorities in his corporation. Ivanka said it best. He only discriminates based upon performance. Maria, do you think that by kind of being the same donald trump today or even actually reverting back to a preconvention donald trump where hes saying, you know, clearly people told him dont go along with the lock her up chant during the convention. Now today on his own you know what, actually i think youre right. He cant help himself which is why the guy that we saw at the convention reading his speech on a teleprompter, we knew that at the point where he got out on stuff he wasnt going to be able to help himself which is why i said earlier i hope this is the donald trump we continue to see during the general election because that is not a donald trump that is going to be able to appeal to more women, to more latinos, more africanamericans and hes not getting to the white house that way. Isnt there a danger in democrats hoping donald trump continues to do what hes been doing . Its been very successful for him. I know its a primary and he only had to get a certain number of people in the primary but hes captivating and its caught a lot of peoples attention. Are democrats underestimating donald trump . No. No. I do think there is some not counting on that. I think there is logic in saying donald trump is undisciplined and simply doesnt have the discipline to carry out a full campaign. Theres something to be said about that. He keeps talking himself out of things. However, you cant expect to win by that. You need to actually galvanize voters. Hillary clinton has not done that in certain states. There are many young voters still not energized, many former bernie supporters who are not energized. If you assume people will hate donald trump so much they will vote for you you may be mistaken. Thats not the strategy. Thats certainly not the strategy. Why are we demonizing him for the words he said today . Last night, this entire week has been a scathing attack every Single Person has gone onstage, did scathing attacks saying they were saying truth but a lot of us say they were false and Hillary Clintons speech was the epitome of absolutely trying to obliterate donald trump. Why is it wrong for him to go out there and be on defense . Why is that a bad thing . Im not saying its wrong for him at all. I just thought it was interesting that he basically spent a lot of time today kind of reliving every insult, every controversial statement hes made, the blood out of the wherever, and he said its the ears, the mouth and making fun of the disabled guy which he continues to he brings up those points, in the middle of it, hes bringing back the familiar. Hes reminding people of a very successful primary season. At the same time, in there interweaved is his policies. In between insults hes weaving in policies. Considering Hillary Clinton supposedly gave a Foreign Policy speech that every other word was why donald trump is wrong. Her entire speech in fact, she mentioned donald trump that certainly was not much of a Foreign Policy speech. It was more of a full frontal attack on donald trump. Margaret, i dont know how the Trump Campaign is organized in terms of the rnc but it does seem like there is this sort of bifurcation of what they want the message to be, yet what donald trump actually ends up talking about on the trail. Whos they . Donald trump is like a walking Rapid Response machine himself. Mike pence is on the radio say agbarack obama shouldnt use the word demagogue to throw an insult. Mike pence is just pretending like he doesnt understand who hes running with because he basically said donald trump isnt insulting people. Hes been like i think its really awful hes insulting people or that people are being negative in this campaign as though hes not running with somebody who is the ultimate insult factory. Heres the challenge. In terms of whos running what campaign, donald trump is in colorado right now. Theres no reason if you had a fully staffed campaign you would be in colorado if youre donald trump. But the accumulative polls show hes down as an average of eight points there. He should be in one of the 11 or seven tossup states. Which shows you how little they understand how to be elected. I want to ask about the hacking. We dont know the full extent of this. We dont know whos behind it. Theres some intimations it could be russia according to some officials but they are not willing to come out yet and say definitively. Do we know how this is going to play out not just for the dnc but even the Trump Campaign if it, in fact, is shown that russia is behind this . Not that there would be any trump collusion with russia, obviously, but the fact, would there be blowback for the Trump Campaign . The Clinton Campaign is basically saying theres collusion between trump and russia and without having evidence, the thing i would say the clinton team has learned from watching trump is that they can just say whatever it doesnt have to actually be factbased. They can say it as long as it gets heard and is out there, because trump does that a lot and it sticks. I do think it is very problematic for her to have anything that relates to emails, email security, Internet Security and i think more than that, my understanding we dont actually know the extent of this. The Clinton Campaign is suggesting its very very minimal. No emails. We dont know if thats the case or not. In terms of the committee hacks, its not just emails they expect will come out. Theres going to be more. Theyre au bracing for more. They are concerned it will be memos to donors, it will be literally everything electronic. Donna brazile says the hack in the dnc lasted for more than a year. They were literally in there rummaging around. Thats not the only committee. The information that comes out is going to be problematic. We will get the russia trump relationship coming up. Weve got take a quick break. Coming up next, what trump voters thought of Hillary Clintons acceptance speech. And what undecided voters thought of it as the Election Campaign rolls on late into the night. Oh, dont worry it. They cant hear me. Im just in your head. announcer vo no matter how you use your data verizons got your back. Introducing the new verizon plan. Now get 30 more data. No surprise overages.

I used to be a mac user but this is way better. Donald trump, as you heard, says its time for the gloves to come off. Hillary clinton last night certainly not pulling her punches. Donald trump says and this is a quote, i know more about isis than the generals do. No, donald, you dont. Tough words seen by millions including plenty of trump supporters. What did they make of it and how do they view some of their candidates controversial remarks . Gary tuchman tonight went to a trump rally to find out. Reporter the line was long to see donald trump in Colorado Springs but on the day after Hillary Clintons convention speech, it was she who was getting an extraordinary share of the attention here. And it wasnt kind. I think shes a liar. I think she should be in prison. Reporter what do you think of Hillary Clinton . Shes a liar. I hate to say what i think of Hillary Clinton but i hope she isnt our next president. Reporter why do you hate to say what you think . Because i think shes a liar. Reporter the Democratic National convention certainly energized democrats but its apparent that convention energized trump supporters, too. She said quote, a man you can bait with a tweet is not a man we can trust with nuclear weapons. Thats strange coming from a woman who was responsible for the murder of four of our civilians, of our people in benghazi. Reporter that is an allegation a lot of people have come on. Even Stevie Wonder could see that was what happened there. Reporter trump supporter after trump supporter say they could trust him with the Nuclear Codes. He has shown that he knows how to make right decisions. Reporter then there is this. Russia, if youre listen
