He had come in second before. Now hed run and hed win, but mccain got into the race in early 2007. After that, just about everything went wrong for him. By the summer of 2007, john mccains campaign looked dead. His poll numbers had collapsed. His fundraising evaporated. He was shedding staffers. People were abandoning the Campaign Like a sinking ship. Political guru Charlie Claire declared, it is effectively over. It is the executers of the state that are taking over. That was the diagnosis of the Mccain Campaign in the summer of 2007. He reorganized. He concentrated his efforts on the New Hampshire primary. He gave new policy speeches. He put out an ad focusing on his prisoner of war experience. He debuted a feisty new persona in debates. In mccains case in 2007 and 2008 it worked. He went on to win New Hampshire. He went on to win the republican nomination for president. It was a successful example of the campaign reboot, but most reboots are not nearly as successful as john mccains was back in 2007 and 2008. Back when his campaign was struggling last fall, jeb bush would frequently invoke the example of mccain, promising that he, too, would bring his campaign back from the dead. But when bush attempted a reboot in october of last year, when he embraced his father and embraced his brother after months of trying to distance himself from them and from their history, when he tried that, it didnt get him anywhere. In 2012, mitt romney made so many attempts to refashion his campaign that the onion ran the headline Romney Campaign reboots for 72nd consecutive week. If there was ever a candidate seemingly in need of a reboot, a big reboot, it had to be trump at the end of last week. That week was full of so many perceived problems for the republican nominee, providing so much material to his opponent that clinton made a web ad more than a minute long. It was a list of all the things that donald trump had said, done, or caused. Actually, i was only kidding. You can get the baby out of here. I think she might believe me that i love having a baby crying while im speaking. I always wanted to get the purple heart. This was much easier. So that was Donald Trumps week last week as seen through the eyes of the Clinton Campaign and as seen through the eyes of plenty of americans. Clinton leading in every Single National poll that came out last week. Pretty much all of the swing state polls that came out last week too. In fact, trump was down 15 points in a poll that came out last week. That was a bigger margin than mitt romney had faced at any point during the 2012 election. By the way, the polls havent gotten any kinder for donald trump today. Were going to get to that in just a few minutes. Last friday night in the face of what had been the worst week his campaign had endured since he came down that escalator and got into the race, last friday night donald trump seemed to make a gesture toward trying, at least, to repair all of that damage from the week. He was in wisconsin for a rally and on stage there he read haltingly from a prepared statement. He took a piece of paper and read from a statement endorsing paul ryan and john mccain and kelly ayotteayotte. Some of those are the big name republicans he had refused to endorse. Donald trump reading from a script. Donald trump seeming to make the advice of his political advisers of the voices around him. All of that got some people wondering did all of the bad news finally get to trump. Did it shake him up just a little bit . Did it convince him he needs to adopt a different style, a different approach . That was the question raised of how friday night went for donald trump. At the next day on saturday, trump was back to his free wheeling, unrestrained self. He went after Hillary ClintonsMental Health. She is a totally unhinged person. Shes unbalanced. All you have to do is watch her, see her, read about her. She will cause, if she wins, which hopefully she wont, the destruction of our country from within. The people of this country dont want somebody thats going to short circuit up here. Okay . Not as your president. Not as your president. Im going to spend a minute more on Hillary Rodham clinton. Honestly, i dont think shes all there. Today it appeared that even trump knew going after clintons Mental Health wasnt going to be enough to dig him out of that deep hole that he got himself into last week, so today it was time for a reboot. And for the reboot, trump went to detroit, michigan, to the detroit economic club. There he delivered a speech on his economic agenda, and he stayed pretty much entirely on the teleprompter for his speech today. He was reading through prepared remarks and he sounded this is a relative term with donald trump measured standing there at the podium and reading this speech. Even kept his cool during the 14 interruptions by protesters during the speech. If trump looked and sounded like more of a traditional president ial candidate, one may be listening more to his advisers than he had been before. The economic agenda that he laid out sounded like a traditional republican candidate than anything we have heard from him before. I am proposing an across the board income tax reduction. We will work with House Republicans on this plan using the same brackets they have proposed. 12 , 25 , and 33 . Under my plan, no American Company will pay more than 15 of their business income in taxes. [ cheering and applause ] in other words, were reducing your taxes from 35 to 15 . I am going to cut regulations massively, massively. Finally, no family will have to pay the death tax. Now the death tax that trump is referring to there is the estate tax. Thats its more formal name. This is a favorite and time target of republicans. That said, trump also spent some of his time on his signature populist economic issue thats getting out of trade deals like nafta, but mostly this was traditional republican economics that he was preaching today. It was greeted enthusiastically by the largely corporate audience at the detroit economic club. Hillary clinton is due in detroit for her own economic speech later this week, but she wasted no time going after trumps speech in st. Petersburg, florida, this afternoon. Today in detroit, hes got i dont know a dozen or so economic advisers he just named, hedge fund guys, billionaire guys, six guys named steve apparently. So they wrote him a speech and he delivered it in detroit. They tried to make his old, tired ideas sound new, but heres what we all know because we heard it again. His tax plans will give super big tax breaks to large corporations and the really wealthy just like him and the guys who wrote the speech, right . So the trump reboot, the trump version of a reboot, on display in detroit today. Time will tell if it has staying power or if clintons narrative will overtake it or if it will only last until the next time trump veers off script. Joining us now is the nbc correspondent who has covered donald trump ever since he started his run for president. She joins us now. Thanks for taking a few minutes. Let me just start by saying it is sort of remarkable. Its after the republican convention. Were in the general election season now, and were watching this speech today saying it is remarkable that a majority partys nominee is reading a prepared text. Yet that is a commentary in a way on how unusual the Donald Trump Campaign is. What is it that convinced donald trump to go out there and do something conventional today . Thats not been the donald trump recipe. Well, you know, he had a chorus of folks try to tell him he needed to get back on message. I think ultimately it was the poll numbers. Donald trump is down in almost every poll right now, including double digits in National Polls and double digits in some important swing states like New Hampshire. Also in pennsylvania down by quite a bit. For somebody who has been watching the polls as closely as he has for the last year and a few months, i think it is the impetus to get him to start changing. I spoke to Trump Supporters at his rallies. I asked them what would their one piece of advice would be if they were to talk to donald trump about his campaign. They said to get away from the controversies, to get back on message, to talk about the economy, job creation, National Security, the sort of things you heard him talk about today, but its donald trump. Ultimately theres very little expectation from those in the gop at least that hes going to be able to stay on message for very long. Yeah, case and point, he gave that speech this afternoon within a few hours. He was tweeting about this case in iran of the Nuclear Scientist who was executed there, convicted of spying, convicted of giving information to the United States. Donald trump tweeting, many people are saying that the iranians killed the scientist who helped the u. S. Because of Hillary Clintons hacked emails. Now, we should stipulate that is a debunked claim donald trump is putting out there and yet hes putting it out there. This is exactly the kind of Conspiracy Theory sideshow that his advisers are pleading with him to avoid. It took him six hours to do it. You know, senator tom cotton was the first one to float this the other day on a sunday show. Now donald trump is tweeting about it. Hes been prone to tweeting about it and talking about conspiracy theories. Remember, he talked about ted cruzs father being linked somehow to the assassination of jfk. Hes also one of the first birthers out there trying to say president obama wasnt born in this country, so conspiracy theories has always been something that donald trump has been has enjoyed pedding essentially. And this is what he is doing today. Why is he doing it on this day when he is trying to reset his campaign . He is often trying to change the subject. The only thing that i could think of that could have happened today that he would want to divert attention away from is the fact that 50 leaders came out and said he was reckless and not qualified to be president of the United States. Donald trump released a statement pushing back on them, saying they were the ones who got us into the war in iraq and they were the ones who enabled isis rise. After that is when you saw him tweeting about this iranian Nuclear Scientist. If youre going to ask me what could he possibly be doing, well, changing the subject away from something that could be damaging to him. Katy tur covering the Donald Trump Campaign. Katy, thanks for the time. Thank you. We all knew about Hillary Clinton getting a bounce from the democratic convention. That popped up in a bunch of polls last week. While those polls were coming out last week, the second controversy with the khan family was playing out. Now we have our first poll on the effect of that. The results are astounding.

We have some breaking news. This happening just in the last few minutes. We have heard rumblings from all sorts of republicans about being uncomfortable with donald trump. Weve had some republicans, a couple members of the house, say theyre not going to vote for donald trump, but now the biggest republican defection yet from the Trump Campaign. Were going to tell you who it is. Stay with us right after this break. Okay. Heres that breaking news we started to tell you about just a second ago. This is a republican member of the United StatesSenate Susan Collins from maine. Shes represented that state in the senate since 1996. She has published an oped in the Washington Post entitled why i cant support donald trump. This is not a decision i make lightly, for i am a lifelong republican, but donald trump does not reflect historical Republican Values nor the inclusive approach to governing that is critical to healing the divisions in our country. This is Susan Collins. This will be in the print edition tomorrow. It just went online in the last few minutes. Susan collins saying in this piece there are three reasons she ultimately decided she could not support donald trump. Number one, she said it was his mocking of the disabled reporter. Thats something he had done on the campaign trail months ago. Also the controversy with donald trump and his comments about the hispanic judge. And the most recent controversy in the last two weeks with the khan family, the war of words donald trump engaged in with the khan family. Susan collins saying that donald trump has shown, quote, a complete disregard for common decency. She also said shes been troubled by his, quote, constant stream of denigrating comments that she hoped donald trump in emerging from the republican primaries with the nomination that there would be a new donald trump, somebody she could get behind. She now says she is convinced that is not the case and she will not vote for donald trump. Another key point here, Susan Collins does not say in this oped who she will vote for. No mention of Hillary Clinton. No mention of the libertarian. No mention of any other candidates. Susan collins republican senator from maine saying she will not vote for donald trump for president. Donald trump was in portland, maine, last week. There is a chance the way they give out electoral votes in maine one of the states two Congressional Districts is one that the Trump Campaign is targeting. He was in the state, and now that states one of its u. S. Senators says she will not be supporting donald trump again. That is the breaking news. More as we learn it, we will bring it to you.

Susan collins, republican senator from maine, saying in an oped that was published in the last few minutes that she will not support donald trump for president. A correction to one thing i said in the last segment. We say it is breaking news and we are reporting to you as we get it. There is one line in this oped where she does say she will also not support Hillary Clinton, the democratic nominee. Susan collins writing about the passions that are igniting grassroots voters. She says as we have seen the dissatisfaction with both party nominees, neither of whom i support, these passions are real and the public will demand action. Susan collins seeming there to rule out an endorsement of Hillary Clinton. It leaves open a possibility of one of the independent candidates in this case. Libertarian gary johnson is running. Theres another conservative option that may be entering into the mix. Susan collins also seeming to rule out in this oped tonight supporting Hillary Clinton. Much more on this as we learn Susan Collins and her reasoning. Im sure there will be plenty of reaction to this news tonight. Susan collins not supporting donald trump. Meanwhile, more to tell you about. The evidence has been in for a while now. Its clear Hillary Clinton received the convention bounce, a very Big Convention bounce. Certainly one thats bigger than Donald Trumps bounce from his convention. That bounce pushed clinton into a lead of somewhere in the high single digits. Maybe even into the double digits. That was the convention bounce. That was something we saw pop up in polls last week, but remember after the convention came Donald Trumps war of wordsith the khan family. Thats something that dominated the news last week while all of these polls came out. Now we have our first polling read out of what that controversy with the khan family may have done to his campaign. A monmouth poll out today puts Hillary Clinton up 13 points now over donald trump. This marks the first time that shes hit the 50 threshold in a fourway contest. This includes gary johnson the libertarian and jill stein the green party candidate. The poll shows clinton not only holding onto the key groups that helped her reelect barack obama four years ago, but also crucially it shows her eating into Donald Trumps advantage with white voters. Back in 2012, white voters made up 3 4 of the electorate in the country. Because of obamas overwhelming advantage with nonwhite voters, mitt romney still lost the election by nine points. Remember it was 20 points for romney four years ago. And now just a fivepoint lead for donald trump over Hillary Clinton. The reason for that . Its the College Degree gap. Donald trump is hemorrhaging College Educated white voters and more specifically College Educated white women. Trump continuing to hold big leads among both white men and white women without College Degrees, blue collar whites. Those results resembling what we saw four years ago when romney won those groups with those margins. Here comes more trouble for trump. His 11point lead over Hillary Clinton with that group of voters today, that is basically cut in half from what romney had four years ago. Trump leading only by 11. Hillary clinton eating into Donald Trumps base there. White women with a College Degree. This is a very big group of voters. This is a group that romney won by six points in 2012. Now trump is losing them by 30. Thats the biggest single reason why he is so far behind Hillary Clinton in this new poll today. Joining us now is patrick murray. He is the founder of the monmouth polling institute. We have heard a lot this year about this college no college divide. Its blue collar versus cosmopolitan. It is mainly among women. Thats a huge swing of over 30 points from romney to clintons advantage now with this group. Who are these women . They look a lot like senator Susan Collins. These are women who are telling us that they really are uncomfortable with Donald Trumps temperament. In fact, in Susan Collins oped, she said that he does not have the temperament to be president , right . Thats exactly what these voters are telling us. We saw the number of voters who say donald trump has the temperament to be president went down. More than doubling him when it comes to the number of her unfavorability rating didnt move all that much. It was the idea that i might not still like Hillary Clinton, but when i see the two of them side by side with these two conventions theres no contest in who i feel comfortable with their hand on the tiller. I think it is an interesting story thats developing here to understand the election because we have spent a lot of time talking about Donald Trumps support about Blue Collar Workers and the possibility he could grow that support beyond what mitt romney had four years ago. But were seeing the flip side of that. Were not seeing that growth in fact. Were seeing donald trump get the same number of white collar excuse me blue collar white voters that romney got. Hes not expanding that base. Hillary clinton is racking up a close to 60point win among black and asian voters. It is these white women with a College Degree who are looking at donald trump and saying he is going on the attack. Everything you were just talking about is whats turning them off. The things that theyre not hearing that they want to hear about which is child care credits and taxes and paying for education, all these things that are a concern to them, theyre not seeing that from donald trump. These are women who are inclined to vote republican on those bread and butter issues, but what theyre getting from donald trump is these attacks against whoever disagrees with him and they really turns them off. The disclaimer with your poll or with any poll we have seen in the last week is were still in august. Things can change. We might look up a month from now and donald trump will be back down two or three points. This is close to a toss up race again. But at the same time, the margins were seeing in your poll and the other polls this week are taking us to a place we werent four years ago. This race is reaching a level at least right now of lopsidedness that it didnt have four years ago. I think so because the things that people dont like about Hillary Clinton are already baked into the pie. Were not seeing anymore movement on that, but donald trump can keep moving the needle and moving it in the wrong direction. If he can change and we have had more president pivots from donald trump than when Thomas Jefferson invented the swivel chair, but if he can change and talk about those policy issues that he talked about today and stay away from the attacks on people, including Hillary Clinton, he might be able to start winning some of those women back. But based on what we have seen in the past thats a big if. Patrick murray director of the monmouth polling institute. The National Polls not looking great for donald trump right now, but that may not be the worst news that he got today. Thats next.

Today 50 president ially appointed National Security officials signed a letter sounding the alarm over the prospect of a donald trump presidency, saying that not only are they not going to vote for donald trump, but that, quote, from a Foreign Policy perspective, donald trump is not qualified to be president and commander and chief. Now, to hear 50 top Foreign Policy appointees of the current president say are george w. Bush appointees. 50 republican officials, including top aides and cabinet members from bushs presidency, including michael hayden, former director of National Intelligence john negroponte. All of them writing together, quote, fundamentally mr. Trump lacks the character, values, and experience to be president. He weakens u. S. Moral authority as the leader of the free world. In addition, mr. Trump has demonstrated repeatedly he has little understanding of americas Vital National interest. He continues to display an arming ignorance of international politics. They conclude, he would be the most reckless president in american history. Now obviously this is something democrats have to be happy about. Top members of republican administrations stepping forward to repudiate in no Uncertain Terms the republican candidate for president and to suggest that the country would be better off in the hands of a democrat, Hillary Clinton. Then again the writers of this letter, these republican Foreign Policy luminaries, they are also in many cases people who democrats have been castigating for more than a decade. For example, Hillary Clinton has criticized michael cherdoff for his ambiguous record on terror. Many in this letter, they were the very people who pushed the claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. The bush era Foreign Policy that brought us the iraq war, that created a grassroots uprising among democrats, these are many of the architects of that Foreign Policy. Michigan right now check this out. Latest poll out of michigan donald trump is getting blown out. Fourway race here double digits. There were a couple of polls that came out in michigan last week. Donald trump is down ten points in michigan right now. He needs to see Significant Movement to even put the state in play. Michigan at this point looks like it is going to stay in Hillary Clintons column. You see right there that would knock donald trump under 270, even if he got all these other states, which could be stretches as well. Think about pennsylvania. How about pennsylvania . Look at this. Last week a poll there donald trump down 11 points. We talk about that college no college divide. Donald trump is doing well with Blue Collar Workers in pennsylvania, but in those white collar suburbs he is getting absolutely massacred by Hillary Clinton. Go back to that 270 map. Donald trump wants pennsylvania. The polls say pennsylvania is a real reach for him. Go on and on, it looks the same for him in wisconsin. The path donald trump wants to take is through the ru he looks like he has a good shot to get on the ballot. This is going to take a strange situation and make it much stranger. Another candidate that can take off some of the votes. Donald trump can lose the state of utah, thats shocking. Its a possibility that Hillary Clinton could win the state. Its a possibility a Third Party Candidate could come in and sweep the utah. We havent seen that since back in 1968. Donald trump, hes aware he has a problem in utah. Hes been trying to talk his way out of it. This is what hes been saying. And do i love the mormons, okay. Do i love the mormons. I have many friends that live in salt lake. I have a lot of friends, no, i have a lot of friends, by the way, mitt romney is one of them. Did he choke . Did this guy choke . Hes a choke artist, i cant believe it. Are you sure hes a mormon . Breath of fresh air is those all right. We showed you some of the speech earlier tonight. Donald trump, his big economic speech in detroit today. Detroit, michigan. Of course, that setting is important when you talk about donald trump and his strategy to get to 270 electoral votes to try to become the president of the United States winning in the electoral college. Donald trump, we have talked about this before, is pursuing what you might call a rustbelt strategy. Let me show you what that looks like on the board here. So right now you have the red states and the blue states as they finished up in 2012. We have given clinton the obama states. Were giving donald trump the Romney States. The problem for donald trump is his path to 270 has narrowed a bit. States like virginia and colorado, these are states that are more white collar populations, more suburbanites. He does have to look more and more to the rustbelt. Where would that path for donald trump go . Hes talked about it all the time and makes no secret about it. Pennsylvania is key to it. Ohio would be key to it. How about the state where he was today . Michigan would be key to it. If he could get wisconsin, iowa, some combination here, that could get him over 270. Thats sort of what the rustbelt strategy would look like if it works. Think about this for a minute. Michigan, the state he was in today, a state that would be crucial to getting to 270 if the rustbelt strategy pays off for trump, how do things look in michigan right now . Check this out. Latest poll out of michigan donald trump is getting blown out. Fourway race here double digits. There were a couple of polls that came out in michigan last week. Donald trump is down ten points in michigan right now. He needs to see Significant Movement to even put the state in play. Michigan at this point looks like it is going to stay in Hillary Clintons column. Absolutely massacred by Hillary Clinton. Go back to that 270 map. Donald trump wants pennsylvania. The polls say pennsylvania is a real reach for him. Go on and on, it looks the same for him in wisconsin. The path donald trump wants to take is through the rustbelt, but he has to get these states into play right now. All it is for donald trump is a theoretical path. Its not a path thats backed up by polling in these states. Heres the bigger problem for donald trump. All this talk about the rustbelt, all this talk about what states could get him to 270, it assumes something big. It assumes he holds all the Romney States from 2012. It assumes he holds them and adds to them. Heres the real problem for donald trump. He has trouble in some of the Romney States. Some shocking Romney States. Okay. So we were just talking about why donald trump was in michigan today and what that means in terms of the path hes trying to follow to the white house, the rustbelt path. We told you theres a big problem for donald trump. Theres two big problems. One, hes losing in the rustbelt right now, but the second one is donald trump has trouble in the red states, the Romney States from 2012. Check this out. Lets take a look here at states that went from romney in 2012 that trump assumes hes going to be able to hold in 2016, but that right now he is in trouble in. Lets highlight them for you starting in North Carolina. There have been polls out in North Carolina that show Hillary Clinton ahead or tied. Georgia, there is a poll out of georgia today that has Hillary Clinton up by seven points. Georgia a state that last voted for a democrat back in 1992 with bill clinton. You could go to arizona. Theres a poll that has trump up. Theres a poll that has clinton up. This is a state that looks like it is in play. There was a poll believe it or not in missouri. There was a poll that made missouri look like it might be competitive. Some say indiana could be competitive. Maybe even a Congressional District in nebraska, the one around omaha, but there is one shocking red state, romney state, republican state that looks like it is in play this year. It is the state of utah. Utah, which may be the single most republican state in the country. How on earth could that one be in play . Lets show you. Lets take a look first of all at what the battleground looks like in utah right now. Here is a weird situation. Donald trump is leading, but with only 37 of the vote. Hillary clinton second place. The last time a democrat carried utah 1964, lbj. The libertarian gary johnson, hes at 16 . Other 14 . You say who could other be. 14 of the respondents to this poll volunteered the name of mitt romney. They told the pollsters, you know what im going to do . Im going to go write in mitt romney for president. That is the inversion of donald trump. They didnt have to be told it was an option. We have seen how bad utah is for donald trump. We saw it back in the primary season. This was his single worst state. Ted cruz got nearly 70 of the vote. Donald trump only 14 in the utah republican caucuses. This was the same day donald trump won arizona, but he got absolutely crushed in utah. The story here of course is Donald Trumps relationship with mormon voters. Utah is the heart of mormon 60 donald trump has had severe trouble winning over mormon voters and a new wrinkle thats being introduced, we mentioned this earlier, this man, youve probably never heard or scene of him before. His name is Evan Mcmullin, former cia officer, and he said today hes going to run as a conservative alternative to donald trump. Hes a mormon, he went to school in utah. The campaign is going to be headquartered in utah. He looks like he has a good shot to get on the ballot. This is going to take a strange situation and make it much stranger. Another candidate that can take off some of the votes. Donald trump can lose the state of utah, thats shocking. Its a possibility that Hillary Clinton could win the state. Its a possibility a Third Party Candidate could come in and sweep the utah. We havent seen that since back in 1968. Donald trump, hes aware he has a problem in utah. Hes been trying to talk his way out of it. This is what hes been saying. And do i love the mormons, okay. Do i love the mormons. I have many friends that live in salt lake. I have a lot of friends, no, i have a lot of friends, by the way, mitt romney is one of them. Did he choke . Did this guy choke . Hes a choke artist, i cant believe it. Are you sure hes a mormon . Are we sure . He choked, he choked it was so sad. That was four days before the utah caucuses thats where he got absolutely clobbered. Joining us now is senior Political Writer at buzz feed news. Hes written extensively, i made my way back in time to get the jacket back on. I would normally dress up for you. I know you would. I heard a lot of theories about what it is that is turning off mormon voters from donald trump. What do you think the answer is . The obvious ones are that his whole lifestyle is hes twice married. Hes profane, hes rude to people. Its not the morton style. But the more interesting ones are that the things that rally a lot of conservative voters, especially conservative christians that will be rappelled by donald trump, are immigration and tough talk an muslims, both of those issues are things that dont work with mormon voters. Immigration, mormons have been found to be twice as likely as evangelicals to say they support more immigration to this country. When it comes to muslims, they report by large numbers more warm feelings towards muslims. Theyre against his muslim ban. Is part of that is because of the history of mormons . And i talk to Evan Mcmullin just right before i came here i was interviewing him. He said hes especially troubled by the talk about muz lum muslims. And hes afraid when you see a president ial candidate come up and talk about muslim it is way he does, a lot of mormons have flashbacks. We put the poll up, and ive never seen Something Like this where youve got trump, clinton, you have gary johnson getting votes, you have this new guy, you have mitt romney, you have 14 saying im going to write in mitt romneys name. That suggests a couple of things to me, if mitt romney chooses 0 chooses to weigh in on this race, he could swing utah. Hes the running mate of gary johnson, of course, i will tell you that people in Evan Mcmullins campaign they are plugged into the romney network. Welty mormons who are saying theyre going to support this new bid. They think hes interesting. So that is another way in to kind of the mormon audience that romney has rallied over the last eight, ten years. One of the theories of Evan Mcmullin of his effect, it jumbles it up so much, youve got some who are going to vote libertarian, maybe some writing jumbles it up so much, youve got some who are going to vote libertarian, maybe some writing in romney, it actually helps trump he could win with 35 . One of the first reactions i heard from people on the ground in utah, this might not hurt trump as much as it hurts gary johnson. One thing i think we need to step back here, both Gary Johnsons campaign and Evan Mcmullins campaign in salt lake city. We see two president ial Third Party Candidates, that says something about the state. It could end up helping trump, but only type will tell. Expert all things utah politics. That is perfect guest, lets appreciate that. Still ahead how Donald Trumps recent numbers are putting a real damper on Hillary Clintons vacation plan, stay with us.
