It was reno in 1993 who ordered the raid that brought a fiery end to a siege at the Branch Davidian compound in waco texas. More than 80 people died. Reno called that the worst day of her life.

Both clinton and trump are Mark Strassmann is in miami. We are going to do great with the africanamericans, we are going to do great with the hispanics. The choice in this election could not be clearer. It really its, between division or unity. Florida has 4. 5 million minority voters. Divided about clinton and trump. She is 22. She is cubanamerican. A conservative group. That is warming to democrats. In 2012, barack obama won 49 of their vote. But, she despises Hillary Clinton. Shes extremely corrupt. She is a liar. She says one thing and does another. She is twofaced. Reporter whereas you think, trump is a genuinely attractive candidate . He is. Demographics are shifting. Puerto ricans the states Second Largest Group lean democrat. Hillary clinton. Clinton relying on a big turnout from floridas 2 million africanamerican voters. Early black voting is down 7 from 2012. A grassroots drive yesterday called souls to the poles bused people straight from churches to voting booths. Will and val medine, retired Union Auto Workers alsoed what have you got to lose . What would you say to him . Let me see how clean i can keep this. He is desperate now, okay. So he going to say anything. Do anything. To try to get that black vote. Get that message a chance . No. Reporter in early voting here hispanic turnout was way up tomorrow, how hispanics vote this . Is americas 58th president shl election. Bob schieffer covered 14. None two the same, none like this. No, scott. I have seen a few. I have run out of ways to say i have never seen one like this. What should we expect next . That it will rain frogs . I wouldnt bet against it. We tend to all every election the most important of our lifetime, but this one might well be. To those of you who are voting for the first time, take it from me, this election is not business as usual. This one is different. And not in a good way. Most americans believe we are headed in the wrong direction, the world is a more dangerous place, and yet the Government Congress longer to approve money to find a vaccine for the zika virus than it took the founders to write our constitution. Most americans neither like nor trust either of the major party candidates. And 82 of americans find the campaign disgusting. The country seems at a turning point, but the divide over where to turn seems wider than ever. The first task of who ever is elected must be to repair the damage thats been done by this campaign to the good name of our country. The insight of bob schieffer. Bob, thank you very much.

After what seemed like eternity of primaries and Convention Speeches and debates, and even an fbi investigation, its voters will choose either Hillary Clinton or donald trump to be the 45th president of the United States. The latest and last cbs news poll shows clinton with a fourpoint lead nationally. But will that translate to the ballot box. Major garrett with the Trump Campaign begins our coverage. If we win, all of us, honestly we have wasted our type. I will be honest. In raleigh, North Carolina, donald trump confronted country. A venue with plenty of room to spare. Trump drew thousand on a monday afternoon. But brooded over a possible defeat as National Polls and early vote turnout in battleground states suggested the republican nominee will need a surge of voters tomorrow. You have one magnificent chance. Honestly. In four years, its over folks. There has never been a Movement Like this. Trump had been bouyed by fbi director james comeys decision to investigate emails found on a laptop ud aide. Comey said yesterday, agents sorting through the messages found nothing to change his decision, not to recommend charges against Hillary Clinton. The fbi, the director, was obviously under tremendous pressure. So they went through 650,000 emails in eight days. Yeah, right. So sad what is going on. Told a packed house in sarasota, florida he had done all he could do to win. In one day, we are going to win the great state of florida. And we are going to take back the white house. This is it. Good luck. Get out there. I did my thing. I mean, i worked. Trump lightened the mood by reaching into the crowd for a flimsy likeness of himself. Nice set of hair, i will say that. Campaigning in mike pence called his time as trumps runningmate an extraordinary journey. That man its ready. Whether she catches the white house or not, Hillary Clinton made history. The only first lady to ever serve an elected office. New york senator, and she is the first woman to head a major party ticket. Clinton is pushing now for the trifecta, the oval office. Nancy cordes with the clinton nearly 600 days after launching her bid. Clinton wrapped it up with a simple message. Vote. If the lines are long tomorrow, please wait. Unlike trump spent the day bouncing between two key states. Pennsylvania and michigan. This election is basically between vi didivision and unn our country. [ applause ] between strong and steady leadership or a loose cannon who could put everything at risk. I think i have some work to do to bring the country together. Ize hatch bas i have been sayine speeches the last few days i really do want to be the president for everybody. People who vote for me. People who vote against me. Reporter her confidence based on ape get out the vote operation, two years in the in battleground states knocked on 6. 2 million doors this weekend and made 8. 1 million phone calls. President obama hit michigan and remined working class voters what his administration did to save the auto industry. So when i tell you that donald trump is not the guy who is going to look out for you you need to listen. Clinton made no mention of the Glass Ceiling she would be breaking as the first woman president. But there is one subtle reference in her final twominute ad airing tonight in primetime. So tonight im asking for your vote. And tomorrow, lets make history together. Im Hillary Clinton and one last time i approve this message. Clinton had been sliding in the polls. Ever since the fbi announced it found another trove of unsecured emails related to her time as secretary of state.

No country in who captures the white house than our southern neighbor. Manuel bojorquez reports from mexico city. Great concern here that a Trump Victory could cause an economic shock.

Much has to do with the cry against nafta, the Free Trade Agreement include the i have spoken with mexican Business Owners who say he is ignoring the fact that more than 1 million u. S. Skbrobz depend on trade with mexico. A lot of uncertainty. Mix kwan senator says he is drafting legislation that would seek to prevent a trump administration, mexico pay for the border wall. One of the significant issues. Before the election. It led to a battle of words between trump and the mexican president wh nominee to visit back in august. But the deep dislike of trump here in mexico goes back to the very beginning of his campaign. When he labeled some mexican immigrants as criminals, and rapists. That led to protests here including the beating of trump pinanas. And unflattering cartoons. All of that makes Hillary Clinton the favored candidate. General feeling, donald trump made th
