Former campaign strategist, dave cotchel. and in los angeles, we're joined a senior adviser to the aforementioned al gore's presidential campaign, robert shrum. gentleman, what an incredible trio you are. you guys can't see us here. you're lined up ideologically in an odd way, but i'll ask gary bower, then bob shrum, and then gary gotchel, where's the race at now? is this race basically over? >> it ain't ever over until it's over. whether it's sports or politics, you get up every morning and fight as if you can win. and it's important for the ticket, for trump/pence, to approach the rest of th...

Their -- with their republican friends, is to try to smear the republican candidate. and by the way, i can't ever imagine harry reid or nancy pelosi bailing out on a democrat presidential candidate. in fact, they didn't say a word when hillary clinton spent the last three years obstructing justice and destroying evidence that was central to an investigation of her mishandling of classified information. >> bob, there's a lot to work with there. i'm going to -- i'm going to let you pick and choose what you would like to respond to there. gary, if you can just let bob speak, please. >> one, these...
