Good evening. And we begin tonight with the growing firestorm over the forum. The commander in chief test. Donald trump and Hillary Clinton both under fire. Trumps words about american generals, clintons promise, no Ground Troops ever again in iraq. And tonight here, straight to the new polls. Take a look at the key battleground states. Clinton with a very slight lead in pennsylvania. Trump up by one in and in florida tonight, they are both tied. All of the polls within the margin of error. This race is suddenly a dead heat. And both candidates facing heat. We begin with what donald trump said about the generals, and abcs jonathan karl. Reporter campaigning in ohio today, donald trump blasted Hillary Clintons performance in that National Security forum. Shes got to get her act together. Reporter but trump is now facing blowback over his statements, including his attack leadership. The generals have been reduced to rubble. They have been reduced to a point where its embarrassing for our country. Reporter he even suggested hed fire the top brass. Well, there would be probably different generals, to be honest with you. Reporter but there are only so many generals. They come up through the ranks, serving president s of both parties. Then, theres what he said about his first classified National Security briefing. And i was very, very surprised. In almost every instance, and i could tell, im pretty good with the body language, they were not our leaders did not follow what they were recommending. Reporter candidas are expected to say nothing about what is, by definition, a confidential briefing. I think what he said was totally inappropriate. And undisciplined. Reporter trump also doubled down on the debunked claim that he opposed the iraq war. I happened to hear Hillary Clinton say that i was not against the war in iraq. I was totally against the war in magazine from 04. You can look at from before that. Reporter but 2004 was a year after the war started. Tonight, the Clinton Campaign fired off this email. Donald trump kicked off his evening by lying about his position on the iraq war. And no one stopped to call him on it. There is only one known definitive statement from trump before the war, and in it, he says hes in favor. Are you for invading iraq . Yeah, i guess wish it was i wish the first time it was done correctly. Reporter at the forum, trump was also pressed about his plan for defeating isis. For more than a year, he has said he has one. There is a method of defeating them quickly and effectively and having total victory. I dont want the enemy to know what im going to do. All i can tell you is that it is a foolproof way of winning. Reporter but recently, he said hed ask his generals to come up with a plan. Is the plan youve been hiding this whole time asking no. But when i do come up with a plan that i like and that perhaps agrees with mine, or maybe doesnt, i may love what the generals come back with. But you have your own plan . I have a plan. If i win, i dont want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is. Reporter and finally, trump raised eyebrows by again praising russian leader vladimir putin. If he says great things about me, im going to say great things about him hes been a leader. Far more than our president has been a leader. Standing by his proiz of putin, but citing putins poll numbers in russia. Reporter well, you know that donald trump loves to talk about polls, and he said that putin has an 82 Approval Rating in russia. What he didnt mention is that putin is essentially a dictator who maintains near total control over russian mass media and is known to crack down on russians who dare to challenge him. Jon karl tonight, thank you. There was someone else paying close attention to what chief forum. The commander in chief. President obama saying trump must be challenged, when he says, quote, uninformed or outright wacky ideas. And tonight, Hillary Clintons team is now fundraising off of what they believe was an unfair forum. But clinton is facing tough questions over some of what she said, too. And a Major Development involving former secretary of state colin powell. He did advise clinton on private email after all. Heres abcs cecilia vega. Reporter in North Carolina today, Hillary Clinton ripped into donald trump for lavishing praise on vladimir putin. Even taking the astonishing step of suggesting he prefers the russian president to our american president. That is not just unpatriotic, its not just insulting to the office and the man who holds the reporter in that room full of veterans, she painted herself as the only one in the race who has what it takes to be commander in chief. Steadiness. An absolute rock steadiness. And mixed with strength, to be able to make the hard decisions. Reporter but now clinton is taking heat for this statement. We are not putting Ground Troops into iraq ever again and we are not putting Ground Troops into syria. Were going to defeat isis without committing american Ground Troops. Reporter there already are american troops on the ground in both countries. Today, club clinton clarifying. I think putting a big contingent of american Ground Troops on the ground in iraq and syria would not be in the best interest of the fight against isis and other terrorist groups. Reporter one issue that will not go away . Her emails. Clinton spent a quarter of the and she insisted she was careful handling classified material. I took it very seriously. When i traveled, i went into one of those little tents that im sure youve seen around the world, because we didnt want there to be any potential for someone to have embedded a camera to try to see whatever it is that i was seeing that was designated, marked, and headed as classified. Reporter but now, new insight into her email use, and the advise she received from one of her predecessors. In an email, former secretary of state colin powell, a republican, told clinton he, too, used, quote, a personal compute their was hooked up to a private phone line to communicate with a wide range of friends directly, without it going through the state departments servers. Powell said he even used it to do business with some foreign leaders and some of the senior their personal email accounts. And cecilia vega with us live from charlotte. And cecilia, Hillary Clinton also seemed to fire back today when asked about criticism she didnt smile enough last night. Reporter well, david, the head of the rnc tweeted that she seemed angry and on the defensive and that she didnt smile enough. Well, she was smiling today when she says she doesnt take anything that the rnc says seriously. She said, quote, trump chose to talk about his deep admiration and support for vladimir putin. Maybe he did it with a smile, and i gue liked that. David . Cecilia vega, always great to have you. There are also two other much lesser known candidates in the race for president , and one of them today was asked, what would you do about aleppo. Of course, the center of so much bloodshed and heartbreak in syria. He asked, what is aleppo . Heres Martha Raddatz with the moment. Reporter the stunning moment playing out on live tv.

Minutes after his interview fail, johnson a former governor of new mexico, admits he quote seriously than me. I feel horrible. What do you think will happen . Well, that i have to get smarter and thats just part of the process. Reporter but later, on abcs the view, johnson taken to task. I know what it is, and i should not be any smarter than you, because youre running for president. I think its a disqualifying statement, frankly. Fair enough. Fair enough. All right, lets get right to martha tonight. Did he have any sort of explanation, why he reporter david, he said he was thinking in terms of acronyms, that aleppo was an acronym for something . But he also said there was really no excuse whatsoever and he added that, if you are running for president , everything should be fair game. So, there have you it, david.
