That huge night in politics. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton facing off in another debate and it was a fiery one. Oh, yeah, not just what they said was on everybodys mind. Take a look at this. The internet is in quite an uproar over the color of Bernie Sanders suit. Everybody wondering black, brown or perhaps navy, even some wondering if it was eggplant. But his camp eggplant . Yes, a shade of purple. His camp spoke out and they said blue and changed their mind and said black. This is all reminiscent of that dress. Looks brown to me. It looks like a suit to me. Well have a lot more on the race for the white house. First we want to get to all that Severe Weather down south. Deadly flash flooding. Drowning homes in louisiana. Take a look at this drone video showing a neighborhood overwhelmed by all the water. Abcs phillip mena is in hard hit haughton this morning. Good morning, phillip.

Phillip mena, thanks so much. We return to rob tracking that storm, as well as all the heat here out east. Good morning, amy. Yeah, temperatures in the 60s here in times square and all the heat that is here is kind of blocking that rain and keeping it over the same spots, kind of a july weather pattern with a bermuda high tapping into the moisture all the way into the eastern pacific where the record el nino waters is fueling some of this. To 200 above normal. An additional 5 to 8 inches of rainfall on top of what theyve seen, in some cases over a foot of rain. A little shift to the east is good news but lifethreatening flood.

Lets talk reporter Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in a florida fight. I have excuse me, excuse me. Reporter a debate hosted by univision where the one thing they all agreed on was trumping donald trump. I was the first one to call him out. I called him out when he was calling mexicans rapists, when he was engaging in rhetoric that i found deeply offensive. Let us not forget several years ago trump was in the middle of the socalled Birther Movement trying to delegit mize the president of the United States of america. Hes talking about a very tall wall, right, a beautiful, tall wall. Reporter both sides forced to defend their own records. Clinton exasperated about those emails. If you get indicted, would you drop out . Oh, goodness. Thats not going to happen. Im not even answering that question. Reporter and turing a question about those nagging negative pollsen 0 honesty and trust into a moment of reflection. I am not a natural politician in case you havent noticed like my husband or president obama. So, i have a view that i just have to do the best i can, get the results i can, make a difference in peoples lives. Reporter but the biggest what color was Bernie Sanders suit . Take a look one more time at that picture. This went viral online. One person tweeting no more revolutionary act has been committed on the political stage. George, i saw brown. I declare it so. This is dressgate 2016 all over again. It was brown. I think thats what i saw too but weve all been victims of our lighting. Cecilia, thanks very much.

Florida, the biggest prize, winner take all and latest poll shows trump with a massive lead over marco rubio and tom llamas is on the scene. Reporter good morning. Senator rubio tells me he will rely on those same voters that launched his political career and eventually sent him to the senate as the Trump Campaign deals with a new controversy allegedly involving its campaign manager. This morning, donald trump getting closer and closer being his delegate count growing. As he starts acting more like a politician his tough talk about muslims amped up. I think islam hates us and we have to be very vigilant. We have to be very careful and we cant allow people coming into this country who have this hatred. Reporter trump heading into the ohio and florida primaries hoping for big wins to wrap up the race. You knock them out. If you knock them out nothing can happen.

Reporter michele fields who works for the conservative news site breitbart claiming she was forcefully grabbed by Trumps Campaign manager after she asked a tough question, writing someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, i was shaken. A Washington Post reporter confirming he saw the incident. The Trump Campaign yet to respond. In florida, senator marco rubio for his tan and size of hands was a mistake. My kids were embarrassed by it and i, you know, if i had to do it again i wouldnt.

Jeb bush was a very popular governor here but its unclear how much his endorsement would matter since major endorsements in this race have not delivered victories. George. Thanks very much. Lets talk about it with jon karl. Jon, starting out with the debate, you know, democrats feisty last night. Thursday night has become fight night for the republicans but this could be the last big debate. Reporter george, this is almost certainly the last big forces to try to stop donald trump. Theyre a bit lick a Basketball Team that has to score multiple threepoint shots at the buzzer, none of them exactly looking like steph curry and this could be the last debate because although theres another one on the schedule for the end of the month its not clear that it will actually happen. Doesnt have a sponsor yet and not clear whether john kasich and marco rubio will be around to be in that. Lets look at the delegate fight. If donald trump way ahead in florida wins both florida and ohio those winner take all states on tuesday, no one else in the field will be able to get the delegates they need. In fact, george, even if they beat trump in those two states its going to be nearly impossible to catch up. Take a look at this. If marco rubio wins the state of florida, he needs to win 75 of the rest of the delegates to clinch before the convention in cleveland. Ted cruz is not expected to have a chance in either florida or ohio. He would need 68 of the kasich can win his home state of ohio where he has banked everything he would need to win 85 of the delegates to clinch before the convention so quickly becoming almost a mathematical impossibility to beat donald trump before the convention. If they win a couple they could deny him the majority, as well. Reporter absolutely. In fact, he would need to get 48 of delegates even if he wins both those states, so he has to do better thank hes been doing. Jon karl, thanks very much.
