And a president ial nominee stuns morning shows by saying what is aleppo. Welcome to the lead, im jake tapper. Last night felt like a debate donald trump and Hillary Clinton went one after another. The dualing narratives were enlightning. Some Foreign Policy experts would say how detached from the facts on the ground they were. Sarah murray is in cleveland. It is hard to argue that anyone had a particularly good night last night, so Hillary Clinton this first thing going on the offensive. It seems that trump was set on making sure clinton did not get the last word. Youre right, donald trump was in in cleveland at a Charter School he could not help rehash some of the topics that came up last night. He went into a lengthy defense saying that he was an early opposer of going into war in iraq excite the evidence to the contrary and he went after Hillary ClintonOne More Time on her emails. Last night was yet another test, and donald trump failed yet again. Hillary clinton and donald trump waging Political Warfare today on who is more qualified to serve as Commander In Chief. Everybody saw how unfit she was at the town hall last night. I think i would have a very very Good Relationship with putin. He has been a leader for more than our president has been a leader. Hillary clinton took to the tarmac saying preference for putin over obama is bizarre. That is not just unpatriotic and insulting to the people of our country as well as to our Commander In Chief, it is scary. It suggests he will let putin do whatever putin wants to do. And then make excuses for him. She tried to make up for her horrible performance last night. It was a horrible performance. She went on the tarmac and told more lies. Clinton taking trump to task for offering few details in wednesday nights National Security forum. He says his plan is still a secret and not only does he not have one, but it is dangerous and disqualifying. I have a substantial chance of winning. If i win, i done want to broadcast to the enemy what my plan is. The g. O. P. Nominee saying he will rely on the input of generals to craft his antiterrorism agenda. I think under the leadership of barack obama and Hillary Clinton, the generals have been reduced to rubble. It is to a point where it is embarrassing for our country. Hillary clinton seized on the move to lash out on his temperament. We saw more evidence that he is unfit and unqualified to be Commander In Chief. He trash talked american generals. Trump also standing by this tweet about sexual assaults in the military. In 2013 on this subject, you tweeted this 26,000 unreported actual assaults in the military only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put Men And Women Together . It is a correct tweet. Both candidates now receiving classified briefings. Trump says he thinks the administration is not leads with the trump campaign. I think what he said was totally inappropriate and undisciplined. I would never comment on any aspect of an Intelligence Briefing that i received. Now donald trump did eventually make it back around to Education Policy for his appearance in cleveland here today, but it was awkward to see him at a Charter School rows of school children, talking about the threat that the country faces and calling Hillary Clinton a liar for her emails. Joining me now is senator bob corker. Mr. Chairman thank you for being here as always. Always good to be with you, thank you. Senator you criticized Vladimir Putin. You said he must pay a heavy price until he changes course. Take a listen to donald trump talking about putin last night. If he says great things about me i will say great things about him. He is a leader. You can say isnt that a terrible thing, the man has very strong control over a country. That is a very different system i dont happen to like the system, but certainly in that system he has been a leader far more than our president has been a leader. Do you have any concerns at all. Trumps apparent affinity for Vladimir Putin. I think one has to be careful to let flattery affect ones junction. Ly leave i will leave it at that. We have interests, we should be able to work with russia no question. The terrorism threatens them like it does us. On the other hand over the last several years, President Putin has operated in ways that very much have been against our interests. And i think we have to recognize that is just a fact. And has done so in many ways in a ruthless manner. I dont condone that. I think we have to recognize that there are significant differences in just the way our countries are set up. But also significant differences in what our National Interests are. So while there are a few areas where we ought to be like minded there are multiple areas right now, syria, ukraine, crimea where the differences are pretty profound. Do you think that the president of russia is a stronger or better leader than the president of the United States . I dont want to get into that was political season and comments are being made. I have a job to do here jake, as you know to deal with just the Current Issues were dealing with around the world, i dont want to referee personality issues and i dont even want to weigh in on a comment like that. Trump said there are things he has learned in the classified Intelligence Briefings that surprised him, and he could tell from body languagers that language that it was not what the leaders i have not been involved in the briefings and i, again, i youre putting me in a Personality Referee Position which is not a position that i should be in. Or want to be in and im more of a Public Policy person as you know. Typically i will say they attempt not to try too give you a direction. They try to keep it to the facts of the intelligence gathering. I know you only want to talk about the here and now. Listen to gary johnson spauktalking to mike barnical this morning. What is aleppo . Youre kidding. No. I didnt see the interview. I have never met governor johnson, i just again it doesnt move me to comment. Ill let you and those that give editorial comments room to discuss those things. I dont want to be i am chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, the last place i pwant to be is a referee about who is qualified or not. Lets talk about syria right now, john kerry is meeting in geneva to try to negotiate a cease fire. What more can the u. S. Do to help the Syrian People being slaughtered. There is not a great Deal Question do because of the complexities that have arisen. There is nothing that russia knows while this force is in place. The next president is willing to work on a way of causing the people who are being bombed poisoned and tortured some way for them to have some safe zones to move into until this conflict ends. It is really, i think a blight on our own nation realtive to how we handled this. And it is, it is hard breakeartbreaking to see what people with the same aspirations that i have you have and others have to see them being treated in this disastrous manner. Senator bob corker thank you so much. We appreciate your time. Thank you. Hillary clinton says everything is a game to donald trump like she in his own reality tv program. She is also trying to do clean up about a comment she made about troops in iraq and syria. That story, next. This week 50 off all backpacks. Office depot officemax. Gear up for school.

What do voters think . A narrow majority of voters agree. 51 as opposed to 48 . They think they will shake things up in washington in a good way. Hillary clinton at a Campaign Rally in North Carolina this afternoon. Brianna, clinton is hitting trump even as she had to do some clean up of her own comments as well. Last right, and she is still unable to put the you shall to bed and taking questions about why she took the use of conventional forces against isis off of the able to before she, if she does win, steps foot into the white house. Hillary clinton made a promise to voters last night. Were not putting Ground Troops into iraq ever again and were not putting Ground Troops into syria. Special forces are already in combat in iraq and syria, and if she is restricting her options for defeating isis. I think putting a big contingent on the ground in iraq and syria is not in the best interest of the fight against isis and other terrorist groups. I support the year campaign. She is criticizing donald trump for a lack of command for National Security conditions. It is like she in his own celebrity reality tv program. You know what donald . This is real reality. This is real people and real decisions that have to be made. I dont think the guy is qualified to be president of the United States. And every time he speaks that opinion is confirmed. Clinton is agree tangled up in her email controversy. She did, the fbi said but clinton offered this defense. There was no header there was no statement, secret top secret or confidential. I communicated as classified material on a wholly separate system. I took it very seriously. Just as she took the military issues forum, too seriously according to the rnc Reince Prebus saying Hillary Clinton was angry and defensive the entire time. No smile and uncomfortable. Up set she was caught wrongly sending our secrets. I dont take thing that comes from the are, nc seriously. Now the thing that trump said that probably upset the Clinton Campaign the most is when he said i was totally against the war in iraq. Donald trump was for the iraq war and it was untrue what he said and this is the fund raising email they sent out. Matt lauer where they name check him failing to fact check, they say, this claim and that many other outlets lack the where with all to call him out. They said we need to fact check him, that costs money, please donate.

Another new poll rolled out this afternoon showing a close race in key battleground states. First from florida, Hillary Clinton and donald trump tied at 43 . This is in a fourway race with gary johnson and jill stein factored in. In North Carolina clinton is just four points ahead of trump there with 42 . In pennsylvania clinton leads by five points. Trump narrowly leading in ohio he is 41 compared to clintons 37 . Mike pence agreed with the assertion that the leader of russia is a better leader than the president of the United States. He also said this. I think under the leadership of barack obama and Hillary Clinton the generals have been reduced to rubble. Dana did Governor Pence seem reluctant at all to repeat the assertion about the president of russia being stronger than the president of the United States . He actually didnt. I asked him about that statement, Vladimir Putin, and donald trump, in the context of why mike pence was here at the Reagan Library to give a speech comparing ronald to donald trump in terms of Thorrers Eras and the men and their leadership. Ronald reagan called the soviet union the evil empire and does it compare. Do you share that view . I think there is a great analogy between the time that Ronald Reagan was willing to name what was the greatest threat to the people of the United States which was the communist soviet union. He called it an even empire. Donald trump like president and Hillary Clinton was able to name what is the greatest threat to the people of the United States today which is radical islamic terrorism. Both men identified the Signature Threat of the time. They named it challenged it and developed a strategy but donald trump said Vladimir Putin has been a leader far more than thethan the president of the justice. Can you just answer the question about that it was Ronald Reagan that met with gorbachov. Do you personally think he is a stronger leader than the current president . I think it is inarguable that Vladimir Putin has b
