Its wednesday, september 28th. It is 5 00 a. M. In the east. This morning, donald trump is insisting he won the first president ial debate. This despite the cnn poll that found Hillary Clinton the decisive winner. This despite the fact that he stirred up a hornets nest of controversies. On the stump, trump is repeating his factchecked and debunked claim that he opposed the iraq war. But most surprisingly, he refused to let go of his scathing criticism of the weight gains of a former Miss Universe. Shes now speaking out about it to cnn. All of that after trump bragging an his restraint or going easy on Hillary Clinton, cnns sara murray has the latest. Reporter good morning, john and christine, even as Donald Trumps own supporters say they had misgivings about his performance, a very fired up candidate took the stage last night saying he won the debate and even insisting he held back against Hillary Clinton. Last night when i debated secretary clinton on americas future for 90 minutes i watched her very carefully, and i was also holding back. I didnt want to do anything to embarrass her. Reporter now, at times, this rally almost got like a throwback to the donald trump of the republican primary. He kept interrupting himself to tout his crowd size torsion tout his poll numbers and even to slam the media. Now, at least one thing was clear last night of, if donald trump missed any opportunity to go after Hillary Clinton on the debate stage, he clearly did not give any of those up on the campaign trail. Back to you, guys. A big day on the trail for Hillary Clinton who hopes to fix a nagging problem for her campaign. Bernie sanders will join clinton, of course, his former rival, in New Hampshire, sources tell cnn that sanders is planning a new surge of events in battleground states. She needs his help to woo skeptical young voters. They are not going to her as much as they have gone to democrats. Also this morning, Hillary Clinton has received a surprising endorsement from the Arizona Republic which has never in 26 years backed a democrat. The paper wrote we understand the discontent among those who feel left behind by a changed economy and shifting demographics. Their concerns deserve to be discussed with respect. Ironically, trump hasnt done that. Hays merely pandered instead of Offering Solutions he hangs scapegoats like pinatas and invites people to take a swing. This is Hillary Clintons opportunity. She can reach out to those who feel left behind. You can consider whether or not or paper endorsements matter anymore, but this goes clintons way. Clinton is back on the campaign trail. Shes very excited about what the campaign and cnn poll found to be a debate victory. Im going to leave it to the factcheckers to go through all of Donald Trumps claims. There was a lot of work for factcheckers last night. When i confronted him with the reasons why he wont release his tax returns. And i got to that point where i said maybe hes paid zero. He said that makes him smart. Now, if not paying taxes makes him smart, what does that make all the rest of us . Thats Hillary Clinton in North Carolina yesterday. Shes in New Hampshire today. Lets talk about all of the action on the campaign trail. Joining us now cnn politics reporter eugene scott. Eugene, we were talking about donald trump versus Hillary Clinton. Now we have donald trump versus Alicia Machado, a former Miss Universe. Let me walk people through. Towards the debate monday night, Hillary Clinton brought up this former Miss Universe from venezuela who according to this person gained weight after she won the crown and donald trump criticized her calling her miss piggy. And his housekeeping. And miss housekeeping. Trump didnt comment on the stage. He brings it up on fox and friends, listen to what trump said almost unprovoked the next day. I know that person. That person was a Miss Universe person. And she was the worst we ever had. The worst. The absolute worst. She was impossible. And she was a Miss Universe contestant. And ultimately a winner who they had a tremendously difficult time with as Miss Universe. She was the winner and, you know, she gained a massive amount of waste. And it was a real problem. We had a real problem. So, theres donald trump volunteering criticism of a womans weight. And the host even said, oh, we didnt know that story. We didnt know about it. And he kept on it. And then, and then, or so, donald trump creates or helped bring Alicia Machado into this discussion. She appeared on Anderson Cooper last night and this is what she said. We can accept we cant accept more insults for my latin community, no more. No more insults for the women. I know very well mr. Trump, and i can see the same person that i met 20 years ago. So, obviously, look, this is exactly what the Clinton Campaign wanted. Sure. She brought this up for a reason on that stage. But he took the bait. Exactly. And then took it again. Yeah, i was actually talking to a friend from arizona, a voter yesterday who said he felt like if Hillary Clinton brought up this situation from 20 years ago, then donald trump has the right to bring up situations with clinton 20 years ago. But the difference is this isnt something that trump said 20 years ago, this is something that trump said yesterday. He made comments as you mentioned a current story which is very interesting because had he handled it differently when she brought it up. And said, you know what, i made these statements 20 years ago, i apologize. Im pivoting. I actually now feel this way, maybe the response would have been different. Lets say in response to women. This is something that Rudy Giuliani said about Hillary Clinton after the debate. As you know, trump kmp and his surrogates have been sort of saying that he should be congratulated for holding back on bringing up bill clintons past. Listen. President of the united states, her husband, disgraced this country what he did in the oval office. And she she didnt just stand by him, she attacked Monica Lewinsky, after being married to bill clinton for 20 years, if you didnt know the moment Monica Lewinsky said that he violated her, then youre too stupid to be president. What does it get them, if women voters to go back on something to blame a woman for her husband that happened that is 20 years. There are people who have been in the headlines for having affairs out of wedlock. What does that get them . I think theres some question, if theres some strategy, its not clear right now, for a candidate doing as poorly as donald trump is doing with women voters. One thing that i think is very interesting we have robby mook, Clintons Campaign manager on new day yesterday, he said, whatever they throw in the next area she will be prepared. The expectation is the hints. What strategy is it . I dont know what it gets them . I dont know the clinton people clearly know how to respond, the chief strategist said, oh, yeah, were basically ready for anything. Well see if it happens. I want to talk about a weakness for the Clinton Campaign, one shes trying to address today. Shes got Bernie Sanders on the trail with her today. She needs Younger Voters to be more enthusiastic about her kandz daens. I want to show you the latest quinnipiac poll as president , you can see look at the drop from august to september. She lost 17 points among millennial voters. Look where it 20, gary johnson and jill stein. These voters are a key part of what is called the obama coalition. They turned out for barack obama. And she needs them to turn out for her. And that explains why Bernie Sanders is out there today and apparently more. But can he do it for her, eugene . Well, he definitely has the ability to make points, to make issues like Climate Change and reform. There are two more debates, its interesting to see if she is able to say anything to make significant strides with the community. After the first debate i did see on social media some of the activists who have been most critical of Hillary Clinton say, you know what, she has made significant strides in the area. Theyre not on board but theyve noted some progress. It will be interesting to see if sanders can pull them over the line. Theyre counting on them. Thats a big ask from the former opponent. When you talk to millennials, the question do they vote or dont they vote. Or do they vote for gary johnson. Some were so inspired by the bernie movement. They just feel that clinton seems inevitable to them. The world is mourning the loss of a man who spent decades working for peace. Former israeli Prime Minister shimon peres passed away overnight.
