KGAN Face The Nation October 24, 2016
Or not the cubs are going to the world series for the first time in 71 years. The fall classic will start on tuesday night on fox 28 the cubs are now four wins away from their first championship since 1908 this has been the best team in baseball all year long its been a special season and the team and the fans are soaking up every minute of it. Since 1908. This is the best thing in baseball all year long. The team and fans are soaking up every minute of you need time to process the entire situation. You stand on the platform afterwards, looking at the ballpark in the fans and the flags. Truthfully i do think about everybody. I think about the fans, parents, grandparents and everything that has been going on here for a wild. Wear this is for them. They have been waiting a long time for it. Best fans in baseball. It is been our goal from day one. We are still not there yet. The world of harry potter came to the midwest this weekend. The magical harry potter festival was in edgerton wisconsin. Edgerton is a of about 55hundred people and once a year it transforms into a world of all things harry potter. This year organizers planned for nearly 50thousand wizards over the course of three days the festival gives a boost to many small dickerson welcome back the face the nation. Im john dickerson. We continue with republican strategist and cbs kutian frank luntz. Frank, you mentioned change, and that was the message that would bring republicans together. Donald trump has been talking about what hell do in his first 100 days. He talked about derange the swamp in washington. Is that what thats all about . It should have happened weeks or even months ago. I dont now why he waited this long. When you have 70
Million People
plan for the first 100 days. What republicans should look at, because theres going to be a lot of recrimination when this election is over, is that the focal point was not on those forgotten americans that donald trump talked about a year ago as he began his candidacy, its that its all focused on him, his battles with the women, his battles with the media, his battles with just about everybody. If he had stayed the voice and the vision for those people who have been left behind, this race would be a lot different than it dickerson you say recriminations. Do you think its over . Do you think hes going the lose . I dont think its over. If you look at polling numbers in key states, there are enough people still undecided. Hillary clinton in almost, almost every poll is below 50 . I dont think shes going to get a majority on election day. But it requires a level of discipline that the
Trump Campaign
has not had. This is about the voice of the voters, not the voice of donald trump. Dickerson is it the getting lost . I think its both. And in the testing that we do, donald trump scores really well when he talks about changing the budget and
Holding People
accountable. But he scores really badly when he starts attacking
Hillary Clinton
on personal terms or even goes as far back as bill clinton. John, i have never seen a campaign that has less discipline, less focus, less of an effective vision at a time when more americans are demanding a change in the way their government works. Dunk for the g. O. P. Dickerson all right. Frank luntz, thanks so much for being with us. We appreciate it. Thank you. Dickerson we now go to democratic strategist and cnn political consultant
David Axelrod
who is also in chicago. David, we must congratulate you first, a little history for the cubs. We wish them well next week in the world series. Onl 71 years, john. Dickerson now that weve gotten that out of the way, give us your sense of where this race stands right now. Consultant on either side, any strategist who privately believes that
Donald Trumps
going to win this election, i think that
Hillary Clinton
is in a very strong position now. And you can see it with the fact that shes pressing into these normally republican bastions. Your own poll in texas was shocking. Shes got a lead in the aggregation of polls in arizona, and shes doing well in virtually every being state, traditional battleground state. So the question now that you hear is what impact will it have down the ballot. Thats where i think the focus is going to be for the last couple weeks. Dickerson in those house and senate races. Youve been in one of these. You know about early voting, the voting taking place right now. How does the campaign, if its doing as well as the
Clinton Campaign
appears to be doing, how do they know it from looking at the early voting and what can they do strategically in the next 16 days that we should be looking at as we watch this places where they have an advantage because they have invested in the acutements of modern politics, in at it an lettics. Who is voting early . They assigned scores in these battleground states to these voters to assess the likelihood that theyll be voting democrat or republican. And through those techniques you can get a sense of how you are doing. They know who hasnt voted, who should be voting for them, and theyll be pressing those people. Theres no in the
Trump Campaign
. The
Republican Party
has it, but the
Republican Party
has to make a decision as to whether they bring out voters for their
Senate Candidates
and congressional candidates, notwithstanding where they think those voters are on donald trump. Dickerson do you think the fact that
Hillary Clinton
is now talking about she took on senator pat toomey, the republican in pennsylvania, and is spending, as you say, more of her attention on trying to help democrats get elected in congress, is that something they can do because theyre seeing it just simply theyre looking at the
National Polls
and thinking they have that freedom to move a little bit off of their attack directly at donald trump . I think you can assume theyve got pretty sophisticated polling, and each of these battleground states. But i think there is a potential trap for the democrats and for
Hillary Clinton
. If she partisanizes her appeal in the final weeks too sharply, because the voters who are drifting from republicans are republican, collegeeducated who might lean republican. If you partisanize the race too sharply, you may drive some of those voters back. So she has to be careful about how she makes her appeal in the final weeks, trying to get people out, trying to get people to vote, but talking more broadly about how shes goings to bring the country together rather than turning it into a partisan fight. Dickerson weve talked over the course of this election about message at the center of the
Clinton Campaign
, one of those hacked emails that came inside the
Clinton Campaign
back in february, her pollster who you know well, writes in one of those emails, do we have any sense from her, her meaning the candidate, what she believes or wants her core message to be . Is that still a challenge for her campaign . What that core message is . Well, yeah, i think it is challenge for them, but its completely overridden by the things that frank luntz just talked about. Donald trump has become the issue in this campaign. He has made himself that. Of discussion. And that has overwhelmed every other issue. So even though shes going into this election with historically high liability in comparison to donald trump, she is doing quite well. Dickerson
Oprah Winfrey
tried to make the case for
Hillary Clinton
saying, you dont have to like her. Thats not a. What do you make of that . Well, i think the people. This is a binary choice. States. What people have concluded, and you see it in every poll, is that
Hillary Clinton
has the competence and then she has the temperament to be president. They have questions about donald trump on both those things and thats whats making it impossible for him to make progress. Dickerson
David Axelrod
from chicago, thank you so much for being with us. Great to be with you, john. Christa well be right back with our politics panel. This portion of face the nation is sponsored by b. P. Its not something you do now and then. Or when its convenient. Its using stateoftheart simulators to better prepare for any situation. Its giving offshore teams onshore support. And its empowering anyone to stop a job if something doesnt seem right. At bp, safety is never being satisfied. And always working to be better. Listerine . Kills 99 for a 100 fresh mouth. Just ask listerine . Users. The very people we studied in the study of bold. People who are statistically more likely to stand up to a bully. Do a yoga handstand. And be in a magicians act. Listerine . Kills 99 of bad breath germs so you can feel 100 in life. Bring out the bold . Go to boldpercent. Com to join the bold percent for the chance to win thank you for bringing up my email, chris, and im very clarify to happen whats in some of them. Sorry. What, carol . Im sorry. I thought i heard my friend carol. Anyway, back to your question about the way that donald treats women. [laughter] and that is how you pivot. Dickerson that was
Kate Mckinnon
playing
Hillary Clinton
from last nigh saturday night live. For some analysis on the reallife moments in the debate and more, were here with wall street journal column fist and cbs news contributor peggy noonan
Jamelle Bouie
is here,
Jeffrey Goldberg
is here, we congratulate him on his new role at the atlantic. He was just named editorinchief of the magazine. And ed okeefe covers politics for the washington post. From
Kate Mckinnon
. Well run a clip of
Hillary Clinton
answering a question or not answering a question from a debate. Well, everything i did as secretary of state was in furtherance of our countrys interest and our values. The state department has said that. I think thats been proven. But i am happy, in fact, i am thrilled the talk about the
Clinton Foundation
, because it is a worldrenowned charity, and i am so proud of the work that it does. Dickerson that was a question, peggy, about both hacked and also found through freedom of information requests of a closeness between the
Clinton Foundation
and the state department. She was asked about that closeness and her pledge to make sure there was no appearance of closeness, and she went and just talked about the great things the foundation was doing and didnt answer the question at all. In politics, they say if youre explaining, youre losing. She decided just not to explain. Thats one way to look at it. To the fact that she has no argument to make here that is going the really make you think, oh, there was no pay for play, and if those allegations are wrong. I did think it took a special maybe gumption is the word to say, and we know i have only done the best work for america, after all, that is what my state department said. That is like, you tell me you did something wrong and i say, oh, no, i didnt, and i know i didnt because me said i didnt. It was her state department. So what can she do but pivot away from something that i think is a serious charge that even people in your focus group were talking about. Its just out there. Everybody knows what they think. Dickerson its out there, jamelle, but she seems to have come through the three debates in a much stronger position, so maybe she hasnt paid. People dont penalize her for not answering a question and donald bait and going off and doing his own thing. Right. I think part of the problem for donald trump in trying to capitalize on allegations of pay for play are really is with the scandals around clinton, you can find a similar problem around trump. Clinton pivoted, but she pointed out that trump also has a foundation, and at least our
Foundation Helps
people, his just seems to purchase portraits of him exists for so many allegations against clinton or scandals against clinton that she can just avoid the question by turning it become on trump. And thats given her i think a real rhetorical advantage, even as voters still have a lot of questions about her honesty, her trustworthiness, et cetera, et cetera. Dickerson another time when she pivoted from a question asked about open borders, she went back and said, these wikileaks emails are coming from the russians and the intelligence agencies have said donald trump called her out for pivoting and then answered the russian question. What did you make of. He had first half right but the second half went to embrace russia. What do you make, jeffrey, of
Donald Trumps
. The safe space he creates for russia when he talks about russia and the fact that the
Intelligence Community
say russia was involved in the attack but donald trump is kinder to him than others . Speaking of safe space, nothing triggers donald trump like a criticism of vladimir putin. Its we saw it the other night. This is historic and it represents a
Seismic Shift
in the way american politicians talk about russia. And large authoritarian countries in general. I mean, its not entirely explicable to me, but generally the pattern in american politics and
American Life
is we tend to side with small, besieged democracies over authoritarian superpowers. Direction. Sometimes we do that well. Sometimes we this that not well. Sometimes president s are criticized for not doing enough, ukraine and obama is an example, but this is not entirely explicable but its revolutionary. Weve had three debates. After the three of them, whats the final conclusion . His bottom fell out and yet she did nothing to answer those questions about emails, about the state department, about transparency, and she seems i think they have gambled that theyre ahead by enough comfortably that thats something that can be dealt with when shes president or shell have to demonstrate through her actions that she can win back the trust of the american people. But look, if she had faith and if she faces a stronger republican candidate four years from now, should she win, its going to be very hard for her because i think a lot of the other guys who were running were very well prepared to just prosecute her day after day after day. And it would have been a very different race. She got lucky this time frankly. Dickerson lets talk about the debates are over. The finish line is within sight and some states are already voting. Where do you see the race right now . Is it over . People are behaving like its over . How do you feel . I feel like the surprises can happen. But i think we all agree that the trendlines suggest it will not work for mr. Trump. You never know. And youve got to keep an open mind, and you have two weeks here. But i think it looks rather difficult for him, and i think for the reasons that frank luntz really laid out. He has at the end of the day done a poor campaign. He has not talked enough about the perceived problems, the problems as they perceive them by the american people. He has talked much more and more impressively and more engagingly about his own issues with women, with the rigged media, with the rigged risk. Doesnt make a good impression or leave a good taste. It should have been bigger than that. He goes the gettysburg to deliver a policy speech and the headlines that come out are complaining about the rigged election. Talking about suing women who are suing him falsely. This is the opposite of big. People are left with bad taste. Hes not been able to ever stop being donald trump in that sense. Thats the fatal flaw. Whats striking about this is beginning. If you observe trump closely from 2015 or summer 2015 to the present, you would have predicted this exact course, but
Something Like
it. This is weirder than the exact course. But the general fact that trump has never been particularly interested in policy, never been particularly interested in talking about always premised his candidacy about the idea that he wasq unique force that through himself could make everything than we would have thought they were. But thats always been there in the trump meth message. But hes had more than a year to learn how to be a passable candidate, not a really great one with a political gift, but an adequate one, and that hasnt happened, and i wasnt sure that would be so. . I i disagree with you a little bit in that i think he has some political talent, because he isolated important issues to the
Republican Base
that ec this political year, and well well they will have to be worked out by the
Republican Party
in coming years. Im just saying that he doesnt have any of the discipline you would need to become president of the united states. Even your relatively inexperienced candidates like eisenhower have 20 years of political experience in one way, shape or another. Trump has none of them. Except for writing checks, perhaps. Dickerson in our focus room, there was a lot of talk during the debate when donald of an election outcome. In the know cuss group, we talk the people who are not necessarily trump fans. This is not a big deal to me. I picked up on a lot of that, too. I think everyone there who covers this saw it as a galling and really historic moment for a candidate to say that. But i am reminded over and over again in talking to
Trump Supporters
and people who dont like trump that voters across this country, a lot of them dont take him seriously. They understand that a lot of this is in their view designed obviously did. Dickerson i think ed who was part of your focus group said ultimately hes going to come around and hes just teasing it out a little bit. Thats what a lot of people i think have thought. Others like jeffrey think its astounding and its horrifying. And i would agree, its unprecedented and really irresponsible probably of a president ial nominee to say it. But over and over again ive . . D voters that that they just dont take it seriously. Dickerson one other thing,
Million People<\/a> plan for the first 100 days. What republicans should look at, because theres going to be a lot of recrimination when this election is over, is that the focal point was not on those forgotten americans that donald trump talked about a year ago as he began his candidacy, its that its all focused on him, his battles with the women, his battles with the media, his battles with just about everybody.

But over and over again ive . . D voters that that they just dont take it seriously. Dickerson one other thing,
Trump Supporters<\/a> also say they they think the system has failed them some who cares if donald trump doesnt
Pay Attention<\/a> to the niceties of this system that fails me. New york i think this is an interesting debate about whether 70yearold people can change anyway and whether this particular 70yearold person can change. But i thought one of the truest moments of this last phase was the very large question about the future of the
Supreme Court<\/a>, and donald trump could have gone anywhere with with that question, and instead he pivoted to making the assertion that
Ruth Bader Ginsburg<\/a>, one of the justices was it all comes down. This is the essence of who he is. Its all about. Theres nothing else but him in this. He relates to the
Supreme Court<\/a> through the fact that
Ruth Bader Ginsburg<\/a> said something mean. That was his answer. And theres nothing that looks beyond his base in that kind of answer. Dickerson peggy, 70 of republicans in our poll think the only way donald trump is going the lose if there is voter fraud. Yeah. Dickerson what do you make of that statistic . They think the election is being they actually do think that if trump loses it will only be because of voter fraud. Look, the integrity of the ballot and of the voting booth as we used to say is extremely important if we ever really lose it as a country, well be losing so much it will be a dreadful trauma. There are certain issues to worry about. Hacking is one of them. Who might be behind a hacking of an american election. Its actually possible.
