Now were going to take a closer look at some of the developments in the president ial race. Chuck todd joins us now. No shortage of interesting things to talk about with you every single friday. Whats up with trump . The debate with Bernie Sanders is on and now it is off. It started as a gag on j jimmjimmy kimmel. What surprises me is trump is the one who pulled out. You debate sanders. You elevate sanders. It is two people and you aggregate hillary clinton. The person i would have expected to pull out of this would have been sanders because i think democrats would have tried to pressure him. What are you doing . So the Surprising Development is not that it is trump that nixed it, not sanders. Speaking of hillary clinton, the state Department Inspector general this week blasted her for using that private email server. Is this something at this point that voters care about . I think theres a phrase that sometimes Political Consultants use called baked in, means there was nothing in this report that is going to somehow change peoples minds about their feelings to this. This, i think, could have been a really bad week for her had trump not stepped on the story with a little bit with his own problems with party unity and stuff like that. Ultimately, i dont think this report has any new impact on her. The fbi on the other hand thats a different story. When that finally gets sorted out, that is something that could actually change the course of the election. It seems like ages ago that Bernie Sanders was saying i dont care about her emails. I think he doesnt care about that other people do. We heard from marco rubio today. Little marco as donald trump was calling with him. Whats up with that . This feels orchestrated. There are a lot of Senate Republicans that believe the only one who can hold the senate seat in florida is marco rubio. The problem for rubio is he spent a lot of time dismissing the senate during his campaign and sort of trying to explain why he wanted to leave the senate because he wanted to its not a place you get things done. If he backtracks here, i think hes going to have it will be a much tougher reelection fight. Couldnt he spin it . Under a republican president , the senate could be a very i think hes a talented campaigner. Theres no doubt about it, but the other problem you have here if youre him is youre not in control of your own destiny. Senate races that correspond in battleground president ial states, the president ial race dictates the direction of that senate race. It is very hard if youre a republican to win in a swing state in the democrat carries that state or vice versa. I think thats what makes at the end of the day, rubio has to count on trump getting him over the finish line. Obviously, he didnt think donald trump was qualified to be president. Is he really going to put his political career future in the hands of trump . By the way, if you lose this, it is hard to come back. Who do you have on the program this weekend . We have Bernie Sanders and around schwarzenegger. Thats interesting. Former california governor. Were going to talk to him not only about celebrity and politicians, but struggled with.
