And more breaking news tonight, cnns electoral map now shows that Hillary Clinton could lose every remaining battleground state to trump on election day
and still win with 273 electoral votes. More on that in just a moment. I am joined by our panel of political experts and Jessica Snyder out front at the site of the trump rally in michigan. This was a push for africanamerican voters that was very clear. He said it time and time again, but he did it in front of an almost wholly white audience. Reporter thats right, poppy. Hes spent a large portion of this 45minute speech making that very pointed pitch to africanamerican voters. He talked about in his words democratic policies have failed minority community, but the majority of this gym and this big arena in dimondale, michigan it was a vast majority of whites. Were in the town of dimondale, 93 miles from detroit and this is a town of 1200 people and it turns out the black population is only 1 of the total population, but despite that
donald trump continued to talk about these policies and talk and make that pitch to africanamerican voters and keep his tone very inclusive. Take a listen. Our future is going to be a great future for everyone. For everyone. In a trump administration, all workers of all colors will get priority for jobs in their own country which is about time. I want higher wages for africanamericans, for hispanicamericans and for all americans, we want higher wages. Reporter and you saw it a little bit in that speech. What we saw tonight was a very dynamic yet disciplined donald trump. He did stick to teleprompter throughout this speech, but there were a few offthecuff and adlibbed moments and one of them pertained to africanamerican voters and he said something that wasnt in the transcript that he had that
he predicted if he were elected president that in four years he would get 95 of the africanamerican vote. There were a few other times when he did ad lib and for the most part he did stick on script, but yet still show cased that unique Donald Trump Style that his campaign promised he would go back to. Poppy . Yeah. Its an interesting remark. 95 when hes polling at 1 among africanamericans in the wall street poll. After another major shakeup and our serfaty. Campaign chairman Paul Manafort is out. I think my father didnt want to be distracted by whatever things paul was dealing with. Reporter sources tell cnn manafort was facing scrutiny to his lobbying ties to the ukraine and russia and told trump he was becoming a distraction and
wanted to to end. The last three or four weeks have not gone well. The campaign has missed opportunities to go after hillary when they shouldnt have and what i want to see by winning is the campaign back on message. Reporter faced with slipping poll numbers, the campaign is ushering in an empowering new blood on the campaign, making to to the flood zone in louisiana. Whats happened here is incredible. Nobody understands how bad it is. Its really incredible. Im just here to help. To show a flash of president ial leadership on the ground and set up a clear contrast with president obama who has not yet visited the devastated site. I heard he was trying to stay under par while were under water. Hell never be under par. Hell visit baton rouge next week. Team trump is also finally debuting his first tv ad of the general election campaign, getting back to the core of Donald Trumps original campaign
message. In Hillary Clintons america the system stays rigged against americans. Syrian refugees flood in, Illegal Immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay. The Trump Campaign spent over 4 million for that ad which will run for four battleground states, ohio, pennsylvania, North Carolina and florida. Virginia was anticipated to be the fifth battleground state, but is not now part of the plan. The Clinton Campaign today quickly seized on this ad especially as it relates to this perceived new strategy of donald trump and the clinton spokesman, in case you thought for a split second trump was genuine about feeling regret. Hes back to demonizing immigrants again in this new ad. And on we go. Sunlen, thank you so much. Maggie haberman, donald trump supporter kayleigh mcmainy and basil smikle, clinton supporter
and lets start with the speech that trump just wrapped up. It was 93 white and he could have gone to detroit and made this in front of a largely minority audience. He didnt. Lets listen to his pitch. What do you have to lose in youre living in poverty. Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. 58 of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose . I mean, clearly, this isnt a mission, kayleigh that he cant win even if he got all of the workingclass voters, but why did he make this pitch there in front of an almost allwhite audience . He made this pitch on a National Audience and it was broadcast on several Major Networks and i dont think the cosmetic makeup of his audience that was physically in that room why doesnt it matter . What matters is what he said is that democrats have failed the africanamerican community. Dont take it from me, take it from tavist smiley, a liberal
commentator, where theyre failing on almost every single indicator. The fact that hes making the case that democrats have failed this community. He pointed out that the high, high Unemployment Rate for africanamerican youth. Whats interesting to me is he doesnt talk about why. He doesnt talk about failed republican policies that have led to that over the last several years. He doesnt talk about republican obstructionism in congress, but let me give you other numbers. Africanamericans have not supported republicans historically for the last 40, 50 years. Republicans have not gotten more than 20 of the africanamerican vote since 1964. There is a reason for that and i want to talk about Donald Trumps hypocrisy. Nobodys talking about his comments during the era of the central park five. When he spent 100,000 on newspaper ads calling for the Death Penalty for five black teenagers. Who were exonerated in 2014. He did not i want to talk about the fact that a black protester was punched out and he
said he would pay the legal fees of the person who punched him out. There is a hypocrisy there that i think among all of the Campaign Shakeup that were talking in the theres no we need to talk about the substance. You want to talk about hypocrisy in the 1990s, bill clinton was golfing at an allwhite golf club. The crime bill has put so many africanamerican men and women into our prisons. Hillary clinton called the Community Super predators and bill clinton doubled down on that. The danger here the danger here, in my opinion, is talking about these issues and not in context because i lived in these community, and i know that there were grandmothers and pastors and parents that were calling for something to be done to get some of these kids off the corner. Its okay that 20, 30 years later we can go back and see what the negative effects are from those policy, but Hillary Clinton has talked about, that Hillary Clinton has talked about. Both of them so let me get maggie haberman
in here. He does this in front of a largely white audience and then he says, ad libbing and not part of the written speech. In four years, if i run for reelection ill get 95 of the africanamerican vote and what was lacking in the speech i was looking for is specific policy prescriptions on what has led to this inequality and opportunity for africanamerican youth is just not acceptable in this country. Your take on the lack of specifics. Theres been a theme in Donald Trumps speeches for many weeks that hes talked about how he wants to approach things and theyve often said and they didnt about this speech, but theyre said we will get to the details later and we saw it on the terrorism speech this week and well give an immigration speech next week and hes given a couple of different versions of the immigration plan and hasnt talked about how he would implement it. I think when he says things like hell guarantee you hell
win 95 of the black vote, its statements like that that i think undermine what hes trying to do because what he is trying to do is i hate the word pivot because weve worn it into the ground now like a nub, but that is what theyre attempting to do this week, and if you take away the drama of Paul Manafort and all of the stories you have a version of donald trump that has been three teleprompter speeches and did something that was leaderly and traditional today by going to louisiana and that gets stepped on by other things. This all comes on the heels of these poll numbers because these swing states are what its all about. Phil mattingly, lets talk about the context of this, and trump puts out these major ad buys in now way after Hillary Clinton did, by the way, and now cnns new electoral map is showing us what . Hillary clinton as it stands today could lose every battleground state that isnt leaning democrat and safe democrat and still get the electoral vote. You only need 270 to win. What this underscores is what the last month has meant. National polling isnt what most people inside campaigns are looking at. Theyre looking at the battleground states and theyre looking at these states that are going to decide an election and donald trump went into this election with a narrower path than Hillary Clinton did. You need to keep those battleground states in play. The one that is most notable to me is pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has been a state that donald trump has repeatedly pointed to fits the model of the voter. The white, bluecollar voter. The voters he tapped into the republican party. Thats one of the places where theyre spending money on their ad campaign, if donald trump cant win pennsylvania and donald trump cant win this election and the caveats. Its early and hes just starting to spin on the ground and his campaign feels like theyre putting time and debate into what theyll look like. These are numbers. Phil could not be more
correct of the state of pennsylvania. If he keeps every romney state and wins pennsylvania and ohio he wins the election. The late of the polling we have in pennsylvania was taken 12 days ago. Hes down 11 points. Yes, but that was with the postconvention bump that was a really bad week with him. This is not the remove nated campaign polling. 80 days to go, guys. Next, the shakeup on team trump. A woman who once campaigned against him now leading his team. Will she let trump be trump . Ryan lochte apologizes and tonight hes sticking to a major part of his original story. A judge orders Hillary Clinton to answer more questions about his her emails and it was a prominent republican who told her to use a private email account.

breaking news tonight. Donald trump making a new pitch to africanamerican voters and this coming hours after Trumps Campaign chairman Paul Manafort resigned. He was originally hired to make trump more president ial. Can his new Campaign Team do just that . Chris freightes out frount. Reporter a more disciplined donald trump last night. Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues you dont choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that. And believe it or not i reret it . Why the change . The tone bears the hallmarks of his new Campaign ManagerKellyanne Conway and a longtime washington pollster that helped shape campaigns for former House SpeakerNewt Gingrich and jack
kemp, texas senator ted cruz and now indiana governor and now current Vice President ial candidate mike pence. And she challenged the idea of a Hillary Clinton presidency for more than a decade. The high watermark for Hillary Clinton was in 1998 at 28 . That was the year that her husband used her like a doormat. He cheated on her. He humiliated her which suggests to me but he never i admire and i actually feel sorry for her. In 2005 even conway might not have backed a trump candidacy. Its time for a change. Saying in the interview that, quote, although americans love to pretend they have this great love affair with change, choice, options and revolution, they order the same thiat mcdonalds every single night. They like consistency and adhere to certainty. Were going to make sure donald trump is comfortable about being in his own skin,
that he doesnt lose that authenticity that you cant buy and a pollster cant give you. And winning over women voters. We will fight for everybodys vote and we recognize all issues are womens issues and were going to earn their votes. The first woman to serve as a Campaign Manager for a republican president ial candidate, conway is known as the into Steve Bannons yang and has his ear. The advice i would give him is be authentic because thats what american appreciate and hes seen with Hillary Clinton what happens when youre inauthentic when youre trying too hard to be something youre not. While conway is trying to help smooth trumps edges and he she talked about his reg reds in last nights speech and thats not her job and americans will see more campaigning with humor and grace and after several staff shakeups, conway told me, quote thshgs is the team that
will take him to election day. Poppy . Have a great weekend. My panel is back. Kaylee, first to you. We know that shes been successful and thats clearly part of the hire here. Look at the pugh poll. Trump is down 19 points with women. Doesnt it take more than getting the female vote to get things so significantly and to move the needle and something that hasnt happened for republican president ial candidates to get the womens vote since 88. Donald trump has had a generic message and hes going to keep the same message and hell put it through a prism that women will hear. Speaking in terms of family. How will you afford sending your kids to college and talking about being able to afford child care and that was the small part of the economics speech and i believe well hear the speech coming up. I think what i understand is that hes the best person for Student Loan Debt and the best
obamacare and the cost of health care and the burden that often falls on females and women who are leading their households with this. I mean, she has been successful over, you know, years getting the female vote. Who is to say she cant do it this time . Shes talked about authenticity and donald trump
