Donald trump about to take the stage in wisconsin still stinging from his debate
performance against Hillary Clinton. Cnn is learning tonight trumps advisors have put their boss on notice telling him the first debate did not go well. One trump advisors say yes ux hes been made aware. They will premare for seriously for the next debate. 07b8 about a week away. Back on the campaign trail in iowa, trump returned to an old line of attack on Hillary Clinton today taking a shot at her health. Ive been out since june 16th. Full time. All the time. You see all the days off that hillary takes . Day you have. Day off. Day off. All those day offs. And then she cant even make to it her car. But Hillary Clinton and her top surrogates were in full swing today. Clinton out with her once bitter primary rival Bernie Sanders, trying to target young voters and the Michelle Obama was in the crucial battleground state
of pennsylvania, attacking donald trump but never actually mentioning him by name. If a candidate thinks that not paying taxes makes you smart or that it is Good Business when people lose their homes, if a candidate regularly and flippantly makes cruel and insulting comments about women, about how we look, how we act. Well, sadly, thats who that candidate really is. And it was very day on the campaign trail. Election day is only 41 days away. We begin with jim acosta at the trump rally in wash waukesha wisconsin. And you got a copy of the Trump Campaign talking points. Obviously they are trying to spin theuati situation. What are they saying . Reporter obviously trump wants to shift focus back to Hillary Clinton. Hes been trying to that all day
long. But we just obtained these talking points from a source connected to the Trump Campaign and they lay out tow the Trump Campaign plans to do battle over the allegations maid by former Miss Universe alicia machado. That if the other side is going to be bringing up people like this Miss Universe winner in the past, why cant the media bring up people like Monica Lewandowski kand people that bil clinton has had affairs with in the past. Hillary clinton, who i happen to believe is grossly incompetent is going to increase taxes. Should be very very bad for our country. I think would be worse than four more years of obama. Now the fight with Hillary Clinton which is raging on after a shaky debate performance. You are the new Miss Universe. But with alicia machado. The former Miss Universe cho
said trump called her miss piggy for gaining weight. Now a high profile surrogate for Hillary Clinton. No more insults for the women. Somebody like that cant be a president. The Trump Campaign fired back, releasing a statement saying these are baseless and unsubstantiated claims by miss machado. He called her miss piggy. Then he called her miss housekeeping. It was the machado moment that caught trump by surprise. Where did reporter to trump says hell get aggressive and possibly try to target blooints indiscretions. I was also holding back. I didnt want do anything to embarrass hoo her. Trumps son eric describes the restrain as a gutsy move. I think it took a lot of
courage on many regards. Reporter trump advisors say the gop nominee will do more debate prep. But at rallies Trump Supporters are standing by their candidate. Whether it is his battle with machado. You have a title to uphold. You may be a little out of line. But i still think he did right by what he did. Or the clintons. I dont know that bills lifestyle necessarily is hillarys lifestyle choices. But i think the character is on the table. And another sign that the Trump Campaign is doing damage control over those allegations being leveled by alishia machado, the former Miss Universe pageant winner, erin were being told they plan to have a former miss wisconsin appear on stage with donald trump later on in this rally in a few moments. As we await. That phil mattingingly is out
front. And donald trump said earlier today he didnt understand how anyone could think Hillary Clinton won the debate earlier this week. But obviously his advisors have told him a different message. What are you hearing . Well behind the scenes erin there is frustration among some trump advisors that there were opportunities for trump to attack at this debate and he just let them go. Part of the reason many of his advisors is because of that lack of debate prep. A big point trump made going in but clearly weakne nesnes nesne of the debate. It also extends to the people that are watching the reaction in the wake of the debate. Erin, i just got off the phone with somebody on a call, held it from trump tower with top trump surrogates and the point to t surrogates was not subtle. And that is, they need to change
the tone how trump did in the debate. Despite the poll, despite the narrative that weve seen. The message im told from one of the people on the call is donald trump and his team are very unhappy with how this is being perceived right now. And everything needs to be done to shift that narrative. Of course the unspoken issue there is erin that it is not necessarily the surrogates that are the problem. It is the himself. And outfront now from the a Campaign Manager for donald trump, corey lewandowski, who is still receiving severance from the Trump Campaign. And. Mark, let me start with you. With the optics of tonight. The Trump Campaign, donald trump going to be appearing at this rally with a former miss wisconsin. She is someone who said she had an incurable illness that donald trump was instrumental in helping her and her son financially during that horrible time. Shes speaking very highly of
his character. Hes putting her now front and center in response to Miss Universe. No doubt to try and redirect and also trying to push away any negative stories that have come out in the last 48 hours with the Miss Universe contestant winner. Whats interesting about this is that trump is continuing on with this line of of information. And allowing it to stay in the spotlight. So trump obviously thinks that this is a smart strategy at this point. But who knows ux really. Do you agree with these prolonging the story of Miss Universe by putting a former miss wisconsin out there . This has been Donald Trumps problem for months now. Is that hell get hit and he will get into this prolonged fight. Result of the khan family after the conventions. And at the debate. He has this instinctual tendency to want to hit back. So that tends to get him into trouble. I agree with mark. There is potential upside here and the other is that it also helps rebut these ge questions about how much hes given to non profits and charity. But it still keeps the story going tonight and into tomorrow and i dont see how that helps with women voters. Smart . I think what you have is you have a series of women over the course of a 30 or 40 year Business Career donald trump has worked with and had in the highest levels of his company. And i think what he wants to do today by bringing out the former miss wisconsin is shot just the business relationship but someone hes helped personally. Talk about the compassion, the empathy he shows to people that many times isnt being reported. Senatorccaskill tweeted this to donald trump with the comments he made about her. Senator Claire Mccaskill says the d women senators were
concerned about donaldtrumps weight. Campaign stress. We think a daily weigh in is called for. Is that very basic things you should not say about people. If you are an executive you should not have to be told like donald trump is now being told dont comment on womens weight. Dont make ethnic remarks. Dont make racist jokes and that should be part of the standard and unfortunately this is something thats very common and easy to do. And i will say that senator mccaskill is touching on something that Donald Trumps own doctor did talk about in the rambling letter trump surrogate tweeted out that Hillary Clinton needed to weigh in every day. Just imagine that. But the doctor did say that he is 20 pounds overweight. Trump admitted it. It is a challenge. This is heres the thing. Weve gotten to this point where
sniffling and coughing is suddenly oh my god you have the flu and maybe sars. And health is every minute all the time the thing he gets back to about hillary that a surrogate has made i think a passing joke and aside about his health and really the broader point is you should not be making jokes about peoples weight because it doesnt feel when hinlt had her episode on 9 11. Whatever that was. She wasnt feeling well. Do you know what donald trump said . We wish you the best. The best health. There was no comments tweeted. And a yesterday a top surrogate intimating that donald trump is dictated to cocaine. Is there the media outrage . And there is no rebuttal from the Clinton Campaign that says howard dean is so out of line he should apologize . This is egregious. Howard dean did say on twitter implying trump used
cocaine. Then when asked in an interview he said he sniff, which is something users do. He also uses grandiosity that also he doubled down. Buzz the Clinton Campaign need to rebuttal some of that . And almost the nominee back in 2004 for the democratic party. Here is the deal. It is a doctor. So now hes making a judgment based upon what he saw on television, which we know that never works. We know that doesnt work. So no. Does the Clinton Campaign. Should they come out proactively and put a statement out . Strategically i would say no. If someone is asked about it i would address it. Howard dean doesnt work for the campaign. Much like all the stupid things we hear from Trump Supporters, on occasion. I dont think trump has to speak for all of them. There is a lot of pressure. All these things are
individual isolated incidents. Like the Claire Mccaskill thing is nothing like the howard dean thing. It is stupid and to marks point the campaign should say yes, this is ridiculous. And were also operating in this sphere where one of the candidates says im not p. C. And i dont care. And i say what i believe. And it is a little disingenuous. And i also think what Claire Mccaskill is doing is very obvious that donald trump is fairly easy to get under his skin. And youre all going to stay with me. Next donald trump is about to take the stage and joining him will be a former miss wisconsin. One beauty queen versus another. And my exclusive interview with john brennan on whether there are isis cells in the United States. And Michelle Obama going off on donald trump. Is that icet . Nope, its lemonade. Is that icet . Lemonade. Icet . Whats with these people, man . Lemonade, read the sign. Lemonade. Read it. Ok. Delicious. Icet at a Lemonade Stand . Surprising. Whats not surprising . How much money marin saved by switching to geico. Yo, icet its lemonade, man fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. At bp, we empower anyone to stop a job
if something doesnt seem right, so everyone comes home safely. Because safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. You are looking at live pictures right now of wisconsin. Donald trump is about to begin a Campaign Rally there and we are waiting to see what he will say to o publicitiering attack today from Michelle Obama. She delivering what may be her harshest criticism said. Harry potter style today in a pair of speeches did not say Donald Trumps name. There is no doubt who she was talking about. Preparation matters. Temperament matters. And Hillary Clinton has it all. Shes the real deal. Being president isnt anything like reality tv. It is not an apprenticeship. And it is not just about fiery speeches or insulting tweets. Jeff zeleny is out front. Reporter tonight Hillary Clinton is desperately seeking millennials. The next 40 days will
determine the next 40 years. And shes calling in reinforcements. Hoping their glow fires up young voters still uncertain about her candidacy. Bernie sanders and her side at the university of new hampshire. This election is enormously important for the future of our country. It is imperative that we elect Hillary Clinton as our next president. And Michelle Obama dwlifring a blunt message to College Students in pennsylvania. Dont be tempted by a third party candidate. Because heres the truth. Either Hillary Clinton or her opponent will be elected president this year. And if you vote for someone other than hillary, or if you dont vote at all, then you are helping to elect hillarys opponent. Reporter the first lady making clear how personal this election is, after donald trump
spent years falsely questioning her husbands citizenship. And let me say, hurtful, deceitful questions, deliberately designed to undermine his presidency. Questions that cannot be blamed on others or swept under the rug but an insincere sentence uttered at a press conference skbl all part of the democratic effort to fill one of the biggest holes in the obama coalition. Persuading young voters to support equilibrate as enthusiastically as they did oba obama. The Clinton Campaign is hoping sanders, a one time rival persuades his supporters to back her. He promoted her Tuition Free College plan today. The ounce filled with former sanders supporters like abby. I kind of told myself that if bernie didnt win the primary it would be rather childish the not support clinton. Reporter what is is support like for Hillary Clinton. It is building. It was birth sweet when bernie lost the primary and hillary won. And we saw the first debate and see what hillary is up against and i think momentum is starting to build and people are starting to accept clinton. But starting to accept clinton, that is one of the things that worries the campaign, erin. By this point many advisors say they should already be excited. They are bringing Bernie Sanders out, Michelle Obama and the president first and foremost. Im told tonight Bernie Sanders will be stepping up campaigning for Hillary Clinton. And going back to campaign in many primary states that he won. Trying to make the case to young voters in particular. Millennials outpace baby boomers. That is why this is so important for the Clinton Campaign to get them to the polls, erin. Thank you so much. Panel is back with me. Corey, when you look at michelle oem baa. Shes effective and people like here. Maybe they like here because
shes not running for office or in office. But they like her. Shes at 58 . Where you worried that she can get turnout occupy. I shi hes a great surrogate for Hillary Clinton not. Question. My concern is you have a first lady whos being overtly political now. I cant remember in my lifetime a first lady whos out formally attacking the nominee for the previous party. So i dont remember laura bush doing this. I dont remember barbara bush doing this. I dont remember Hillary Clinton doing this. So you have a first lady who has unbelievable high approval numbers right now. But i think whats going to happen as you engage with the last five and a half weeks of this campaign. Her being aggressive for Hillary Clinton and her going out attacking you think is gonna hurt her. The question is why is the first lady doing this . And when was the last time a sitting incumbent president had the coat tails to carry their
party next nominee . One time in the last 40 years is when it happened. A really easy question to answer why Michelle Obama is doing this. They have been in office eight year and there is an entire generation out there the meat ball vo millennial voters who only know these two as the president of their lifetime. Michelle obama is very real. Very approachable. S
