Hate. Can trump make the sale and prove hes qualified for the job . Lets just win in november. This morning we talk to both Sides Campaign managers here live. Just one day before the blockbuster faceoff, full insights, analysis and more. Only on this week. From abc news, its this week. Here now chief anchor George Stephanopoulos. Good morning. Its been compared to the super bowl. Even mans landing on the moon. Toss away the hyperbole. You still have an extraordinary event, the most watched political showdown in american history. Tomorrow night, Hillary Clinton and donald trump. Take a look inside the debate hall. The candidates take the stage 36 hours from now. 100 million americans expected to tune in. Social media will be crackling with commentary for millions we have everything you need to get ready. Both campaign managers. Expert insight from our round table and gary johnson who could play spoiler in the race. Thats tightened up in the last month. Our new poll has Hillary Clinton holding at 46 . Donald trump climbing to 44 . His best number since the spring. The battle lines are drawn. Trump has a massive 59 advantage among white men who havent graduated from college. Clinton counters a huge boost from whi w graduated from College Leading trump by 25 overall, men are with trump by 19 points and women with clinton by 19 points. Biggest generation gap. 87 of republicans are with trump. 84 of democrats behind clinton. The big question, who will impress the voters still making up their minds . I am not a single issue candidate. Hillary clinton is the most experienced debater in modern under her belt. You are the single biggest liar. You probably are worse than jeb bush. Donald trump is hardly a rookie. Hes done 11. Took out 16 rivals. Let me talk. Quiet. Out of times. This debate is one on one. 90 minutes before a tv audience that doesnt like either candidate. We have a debate very shortly right . Trumps biggest challenge close the gap on clinton on world affairs, qualifications and temperament. Ill be respectful of her. She deserves that. Im going to be nice. You never know exactly how its going to turn out. Well have a lot of people watching. Clintons campaign worried trump will win showing up. Sounding reasonable. Voters expectations may be working against her. 47 think shell win to only 33 to trump. We are joined by Hillary Clintons campaign manager. Robby, thanks for coming in. To win tomorrow night. Your biggest worry . First of all, what needs to happen at this debate is the candidates need to present their capacity to serve as president and commander in chief. We think Hillary Clinton is going to do that. What were concerned about is that there might be some sort of double standard here. Donald trump cant lie on that debate stage and win or even get a passing grade. Donald trump cannot demonstrate that he doesnt have a command of the issues and get a passing grade. Ll donald trump show hes ready to be president of the United States. You guys have been pushing that hard, this idea of a double standard and saying its up to the moderator to point out falsehoods. But they have been clear they think its the job of the moderator to get out of the way and ask questions. All were asking is if donald trump lies, its pointed out. Its unfair to ask for hillary to play traffic cop for trump. For what she wants to do for the American People. Isnt that what a debater is supposed to do . I think donald trump is special. We havent seen anything like this. We normally go into a debate with two candidates who have a depth of experience, rolled out clear concrete plans. And who dont lie. Frankly as donald trump does. Were seeing this as a special circumstance and debate and hillary should be given time to talk about what she wants to do. To make a difference in peoe she shouldnt have to spend the debate correcting the record. You want to talk mostly about Hillary Clinton and her plans. How do you get over the huge hurdle . The overwhelming number of americans who dont see her as honest . First of all, im glad you asked this question because its been out there a lot. Hillary has recognized she has a lot of work to do to earn peoples trust. As we were discussing, we think this debate is a fantastic opportunity for her to present not just what she is going to do to make a difference in peoples people can absolutely trust her to make a difference in their lives. They cant trust donald trump to do the same thing. Whats the number one point you want to make tomorrow night about donald trump . Well, look, like i said, this is the time for the voters to pick a president. Well have people tuning into this election for the first time. Theyre going to see the two candidates on stage. I think theyre going to see donald trump is unfit, unprepared and over his head. I doubt he will have a command of the issues. I certainly you think hell take care o hillary will have to press the point, challenge him to reveal what his plans are, for example, he has not revealed any plan whatsoever to defeat isis. He says its a secret and that he knows more about it than the generals do. This is a time for him to present those plans. Maybe he will. But well have to see. In a little bit of psychological welfare. Donald trump said if dopey mark cuban wants to sit on the front row, perhaps ill be Gennifer Flowers alongside of him. Gennifer flowers has tweeted the New York Times saying shes going to be there. You know, this debate is supposed to be about issues and how these candidates are going to make a difference in their lives, a time to reveal their plans. If this is what donald trump wants this debate to be about, thats up to him. He is a reality tv star. Very experienced at providing television entertainment. The presidency is not about entertainment. Its about serious decisions. So you dont care if Gennifer Flowers is there . Thats Donald Trumps decision. We just want hillary to have an opportunity to explain. This show as dead heat, 46, to 44. Hillary clinton was quoted this week addressing the polling numbers and the long case shes made against donald trump. Heres what she said. Now having said all this, why arent i 50 points ahead you well, the choice for working families has never been clearer. I need your help to get Donald Trumps record out to everybody. What is the answer to that question . Maybe not 50 points ahead. This is such a close race against a candidate you said is the most unqualified in american history. These contests are always very close. In fact, we put out a memo in early august saying this was going to tighten up in your own poll you didnt actually show was donald trump consolidating some of his base. I think we can win this election by a wide margin. Hillary pointed out were going to have to work hard to get the message out. Theres a lot of noise out there. The other thing in your poll that will come home to roost is that 60 of voters didnt think donald trump is fit to be commander in chief. They think hillary is going to be better fighting for the middle class. Shell be better at dealing with a crisis. Thats where we welcome this at the same time, hes getting more republicans vote more mitt romney than Hillary Clinton is getting democrats who voted for barack obama. Why . It depends. Obviously shifts happening demographically. Hillary is getting more republican women than ever before. Winning them by double digits. President obama lost College Educated women. So theres a lot of shifts going on. But we feel very confident that we have th voters. In many ways, were just starting. This race is just beginning. The candidate is coming up, gary johnson, is he taking votes from Hillary Clinton right now . Hes taking votes from both candidates but your own poll showed his numbers are dropping. I dont think that either the Third Party Candidates are going to factor in the head to head for this race. And i think youll see that movement as we get closer to election day and certainly after this debate when i think voters will see a tremendous difference between the two candidates and i think theyre going to be very concerned about the threat of donald trump actually getting into the oval office and voters understand if they put their vote to one of the Third Party Candidates it could at some point make it easier for donald trump and i dont think anybody voting for any of these other candidates wants that to happen. Whats a win tomorrow night . Having the opportunity to speak directly to the voters about the big difference she can make in their lives, how shes going to create jobs, get the cost of health care under control, help families of four in college. We saw at the convention when she had an opportunity to speak directly to the voters, talk about her history, how this campaign is a mission to help kids and families, shes going to do very well. Thanks very much. Thanks. Kellyanne conway. Welcome back to this week. You heard robby define a victory. Whats a victory for donald trump . Answering the questions and showing america that hes ready to be president and commander in chief on day one. I notice from the Washington Post abc poll george just released the number one and two issues to americans are economy and terrorism and donald trump is leading Hillary Clinton on who you trust more on both issues. We certainly hope this debate tomorrow night will be about substantive issues. I have to push back a little bit on my colleague robby there, donald trump is out there every day talking about issues. He was in five or six swing states just this week and every time it was a policy speech. Tomorrow will be nothing new for him. Its Hillary Clinton and her super pacs that have run a quarter of a billion dollars of negative ads about donald trump and she refuses to spend time talking about issues. He talked about the double standard. Your response . I think they are really afraid Hillary Clinton is not a very good candidate. A majority of americans dont much like her and according to your own poll dont trust her. Donald trump is actually leading Hillary Clinton on the attribute of who is more honest and trustworthy in your poll that came out this morning. I think theyre worried about many things. Hillary clinton should have been in the much better position. Shes not known for her abundance of self awareness or being nimble or resilient. They never saw barack ob 2008 or took Bernie Sanders seriously. Earlier this year he won 22 states and millions of vote everies and they certainly never anticipated that trump comeback. On the issue of honesty, the independent factor looked at 250 statements of each candidate. They have 48 pants on fire. The worst kind of lie they said. Comments by donald trump, only 6 for clinton. 89 false statements by donald trump and only 27 for clinton. This is a woman whose five people were involved with her email scandal and granted immunity. Shes not very fond of the 2nd amendment but she seems very fond of the 5th amendment including her attorney who was granted immunity and able to represent her as an attorney. Hillary clintons casual relationship with the truth is well known to americans. Im sure well see it on full display tomorrow night. I dont appreciate campaigns thinking it is the job of the factcheckers and these debate moderators should do their bidding. They picked on matt lauer. After the commander in chief debate forum. We have thought he did a great job but they didnt like the fact Hillary Clinton was asked about her email server. Thats not matt lauers fault. Hell do a good job tomorrow night. Its not his job its not what your boss has said. Donald trump said lester holt is hes a democrat when in fact hes a registered republican. Hes certainly going to be a good debate moderator in that i trust all these moderators for all the debates including the vp debate next week will be asking questions benefiting the voter. Voters deserve and they indeed expect a good debate on the issues. This will be the first time americans will see donald trump and Hillary Clinton on the same stage and make their choice based on what they see and what is said. I can understand why the clinton camp is ou trump has got great present stature. Hes a brilliant debater. Newt gingrich said donald trump is the best debater hes ever seen. The babe ruth of debating. He shows up and swings and does a great job. Hes a brilliant businessman who has a great record and were very much looking forward to tomorrow night. We saw the tweet about Gennifer Flowers. She says she wants to be at the debate tomorrow night. Why put out that tweet . No. Cuban has to say im going to be there for the takedown of donald trump . I mean i expect why did he send out that tweet . He wants to remind people that hes a great counter puncher. They started this by saying they would give a front row seat to mark cuban who was very favorable towards donald trump. He had great criticisms of Hillary Clinton in her Education Plan and now all of a sudden for team clinton. This debate should not be about what billionaire could hillary how do we defeat radical islamic terrorism. How do we stimulate the economy. 29 of americans say theyre better off on the obama you want Gennifer Flowers there . She has a right to be there if somebody else gives her a ticket. But i do think also it shows the poor judgment, lack of nimbleness of the Clinton Campaign that they put a statement out last night about Gennifer Flowers being invited that it shows how easily just put out a statement about people who had no idea who Gennifer Flowers is. That shes the woman who says she had a 12year affair with your husband when he was governor. You talked about mr. Trump being out on the stump this week. He said africanamerican communities are in the worst shape. President obama responded in an interview. I think most 8yearolds will tell you that whole slavery thing wasnt very good for black people. Jim crow wasnt very good for black people. Shape . Its too bad the president is so glib about these issues. But donald trump glib about race issues . No. No, george, he was very glib about referring to an 8yearold. What donald trump is talking about in his speeches is rebuilding the inner cities, bringing more jobs there, is tackling full on poverty and there are 3,000 people shot in chicago this year. 500 dead. And were not going to have a serious conversation about crime in the inner cities . So i think that its very i really applaud donald trump for having this conversation in and about the inner cities. He went to a black church in detroit several weeks ago. Taking his case directly to the people. You dont see Many Republican candidates doing that running for president. I appreciate the fact that president obama has his perspective but i think donald for actually trying to make a difference in these communities. One of the issues the Africanamerican Community has had with donald trump is the birther issue. Hes only been asked once since last week. Do you expect it to come up tomorrow night . If it does, will mr. Trump apologize to president obama . Donald trump stated friday how he feels about this issue. He said three very crisp important things. Those are his words. I expect he would say them again. I dont know if it will come up. And i guess secretary clinton if they feel like raising that. This is an issue donald trump has addressed very recently. No apology . Thats a very personal thing. What donald trump has said is the people who raised this at the beginning should apologize. He wasnt running against Hillary Clinton in 2008. He wasnt running against obama in 2008. That was Hillary Clinton and according to Hillary Clinton and her campaign did not bring this up. Really . The volunteer guy in iowa saying yeah it started with him. The former news chief in d. C. Saying Sid Blumenthal asked him to investigate obamas ties and sent a reporter to kenya. Donald trump was busy being a successful businessman that year. Hillary clinton never saw obama coming. So i guess they resorted to desperate tactics. Thank for coming in. Thanks for having me.

Oikos triple zero, as we said, he wont be on the debate stage tomorrow nigh but libertarian gary johnson could determine who wins the white house. His 5 in our poll is greater that the two point difference between clinton and trump. In some critical battle grounds johnson doing even better, take a look. In virginia, 8 . Colorado and iowa, 10 and wisconsin 11 . Johnson is on the ballad in all 50 states. The first Third Party Candidate to do so since 1956. The former new mexico governor could tip the balance in key well talk to johnson after the break. L talk to johnson after t break. I just took new mucinex clear and cool.

And oralb delivers a clinically proven superior clean versus sonicare diamondclean. My mouth feels super clean we could brag about whats in new light fit yogurt. But wed rather talk about whats not in it. Like no artificial colors or preservative ingredients. And with 70 calories. Maybe were kind of bragging . New light fit. Cant see it. Cant taste it. But theres so much more to it. Heres how benefiber . Works. Inside us are trillions of good microflora that support digestive health. The prebiotic fiber in benefiber . Nourishes them. And what helps them, helps you. Do you think if you were able to get on the debate stage, that you could pull even with trump and clinton in these polls . I do. And it wouldnt have anything to do with my debate performance either. Based on that. Thats for and not say anything there was gary johnson earlier this week. Libertarian candidate for president nominee right there. Thank you for joining us this morning. What was that about . Well, the fact that 65 of americans dont even know who i am, so what do i need to do if i was in the president ial debates . I would just need to show up and a lot of people would become aware that i am actually a incredibly interesting that im polling higher than perot was polling when he was allowed in the debates and i would like to point out to everybody, president ial Debates Commission made up of republicans and democrats that have no intention whatsoever of seeing anyone other than a democrat or republican on the stage. In our poll youre not polling higher than ross perot. Youre 5 . In our poll ross perot was at 6 or higher. That its quote, game over if you dont get in the debates. Why keep going . Well, it still is an ongoing process to get to 15 . Your poll is incredibly low and i recognize polls. Hey, you know, youre at 15 in the polls one day but 5 , wow, this is out of the blue. If in fact, it is an accurate quoting earlier, you know, earlier this week im leading among independents. Im tied for lead among millennials. Active military personnel. I am leading among active military personnel. So nobody is talking about balancing the federal budget. Nobody is talking about the threat of a runaway government. Nobody is talking about reforming medicaid or medicare. Nobody is talking about really black lives matter. Individual liberty. Freedom. Isnt that what the constitution is all about . And the military interventions. We do involve ourselves in regime change and as a result of that the world is not a more safe place. Neither trump or clinton believe in free markets. I believe that would lead to youre hearing from clinton and her allies that this concern for a vote for you is a vote for trump. Hearing it from Bernie Sanders and others and tim kaine had this to say drawing a comparison to 2000. Against the ticket is the Al Gore George w. Bush race in 2000. The Third Party Candidacy of ralph nader cost eleg tral votes and if gore had been president we probably wouldnt have had a war in iraq. What do you say to those wh think youre electing donald trump . I say the people who are voting for me are voting for gary johnson. Look, i take great pride in the fact that i am actually offering an alternative here. Smaller government, personal freedom. Balancing the federal budget, looking at medicaid and medicare. Look, vote for gary johnson is a vote for gary johnson. 50 of people right now registering to vote are how is it that we only have two candidates that can represent the views of the United States . You know, i dont buy it and im going to sleep well at the end of all this giving people a first vote, not a second vote, not a lesser of two evils but actually people that are going to be able to vote their conscience and vote for real change and thats how youre going to change things in this country. Vote for the person that you believe in. Thats how b elected president. Either trump or clinton will be the president. Which one worries you the most . Well, they both do. Look, donald trump, immigration, i think we should be embracing immigration. We should not build a wall across the border. Hillarys answer to everything is growing government. Taxes are going to go up. Neither one of them are talking about reforming the entitlements and neither one of them support free trade. Theyre against it but hillary, one day shes against it, one day shes for it. Trump, going to force apple to make their ipads and iphones in the United States. Trump, he wants to bring back water boarding, torture or worse. Havent we faught wars over not doing that kind of thing . We are the beacon on the hill. I dont think life in america has ever been better. We get along with each other better. We communicate betteth our kids are smarter than ever. We do have issues. Issues, discrimination, black lives do matter. Theyre getting shot at the rate of six times that of whites. We have had our heads in the sand with regard to the discrimination that does exist and george, ill tell you ive had my head in the sand on this issue but i think were going to come to grips with this faster, better than ever before and back to the fact that we do amazing. Theres going to be an onslaught on the internet with legislation thats going to try and restrict our abilities to compete equally with one another. The government is for sale. Let me ask you one final question. You said youre for free markets, against government regulation. This week a comment you made in 2011, you said we have to think about Climate Change as a long term issue. Heres what you said. I think that we should. In billions of years the sun is going to actually grow and encompass the earth, right . So Global Warming is in our future. Does that mean we dont do anything about it now . No, george, cmon. Cant we have humor once in a while. That is long term. At one point africa and south america separated and i am talking now about the earth and and will going forward. Look, what it points to also is the fact that we have to inhabit other planets. The future of the human race is space exploration. No, we should be prudent with the environment. We care about the environment. Look, clean air, clean water. I think the epa exists to protect us against individuals, groups, corporations that will do us harm. Pollution is harm. George, thank you very much for having me on. Our powerhouse round table weighs in next. Announcer this week with George Stephanopoulos brought to you by bp.

Tomorrow night theyll display differences on policy and past experience. President ial debates are defined by the messages the candidates dont intend to send. There was al gores heavy sighing and eye rolls during his debate with george w. Bush and that lurch into bushs personal space. At the town hall two weeks later. George h. W. Bush checked his watch during his 1992 town hall with bill clinton and ross perot. Then clinton sealed the deal the economy. That first televised debate in 1960 always remembered for Richard Nixons sweat against a crisp and cool jfk. So will tomorrow night be scored on style or substance .

A big smile on my face and then sing it with a smile on your face. Everybody has got advice for the candidates tomorrow night. Lets talk about it on our round table. Joined by matthew dowd, maggie from the New York Times. Democratic strategist, jamal simmons, republican strategist and editor of the nation. I want to get to the advice. Lets begin with thees question. We know people are going to watch tomorrow night. Probably 100 Million People and we know in the past generally debates have tended to reinforce where the race is going rather than make a big difference. Is tomorrow night different . I think tomorrow night has the capacity to be different. But i think there are singular debates that have mattered and have adjusted the race. 2004 george w. Bush did very badly. 2012 obama had it consistently and carey did well. But it pounced back to where it was. This trades on such small margins, between zero and five or six points. Any movement by two, three points, its pretty much set for 85 of the country but that movement can make a difference. The margins matter this year . Thats right. I think the debates, to your point, we remember the moments but theyre not one on moments. Obama won that f d was. This is playing for a very small number of undecided voters who will be turning in. We know a ton about the candidates. The public knows a ton. The x factor, i think two, one is the first woman on a debate stage in a general election. I dont know how thats going to play for an audience that is still low information and just tuning in. Trump has never done a one on one debate and that cant be understated. In the primary debates he was that is the big difference tomorrow night for donald trump. 90 minutes. One opponent. One moderator on the stage. He has also been on our tvs, on every screen for years. So has Hillary Clinton. These candidates are in our soup. Theyre everywhere. Theyre like two cups of water that are already full. The American People know these people. We have been with them a long time. Which is why its going to be very hard for anyones oon of them i think to change. Its hard to pour more water into that full cup. Now, what could change, why we have debates anyway. Were just about policy or iq, we would give them the sat. Put them against each other because we know a president is going to face something unexpected and at some point maybe the fate of the country will lie in that persons hands. Are they strong enough, do they have the strength and character and stability is what were looking for. Theres a democratic purpose im waiting for a big debate about serious issues. I was struck by something Kellyanne Conway said. It seems to me that the role of journalist is not to factcheck which is a vital role. Is to say that journalists are stenographers. Not those who hold the powerful accountable. Whoever they may be. I think were at a very dangerous place in our country where journalism is a rewrite the rules election. A rewrite the rules election. We have talked about media malpractice. Theres been Good Journalism in the last months but it is vital that the moderator hold the candidates accountable, particularly donald trump if its not left right. It is not about liberalism. Its about journalism. Let me ask the question why isnt that the job of the candidate on the stage, Hillary Clintons . It is. Cats versus dogs, lions, versus tigers. Boxers versus wrestlers. Everybody wants to watch something thats going to be a spectacle. The job of Hillary Clinton will be tough if donald trump has done what hes done the last few weeks, the im not crazy tour. Im somebody you can trust to do this. If he is calm and relax and does this job for 90 minutes people will say maybe hes not crazy. Her job will show people that she can be transparent. I would love for her to Say Something like, ive been in the most elite rooms for the last couple of ca for police accountability, to make sure we have a public option in health care and make sure debtfree college. Plant her feet for the people to vote for her. Not some of the people advice from the round table . Two points. One is we do need to figure out a way to discover a common set of facts. Journalists need to be involved in it. Two sets does not help our country go to a place of common good. We need a common set of facts. I heard many peoples advice they are disliked and distrusted by a majority of the country. Donald trump has to figure out a way to be less visceral and more cerebral and Hillary Clinton has to figure out to be more cerebral. Its like the wizard of oz like the tinman and scare crow. One has to figure out how to show their brain and the other their heart. I think she needs to be passionate. Passionate about the issues to speak to the country which sti and cold and as you said, i mean, speak to the people out there who have not yet come onboard. She needs to show shes enjoying and not get defined by donald trump. Not get in the weeds. I think for donald trump, the problem is lets be honest, hes not going to show up awoodrow if he shows up as trump 2. 0 or trump 9. 0 hes going to get a lot of placability. People remember these elections are not just about the candidates but the voters. We keep talking about style and all of that. Were picking the leader of the government. 70 of americans think were on the wrong track. Its going to be very hard for Hillary Clinton to make the case that shes changed. We can talk about cool and cerebral and those things and theyre all important but what about us . Where is Hillary Clinton going to take us thats different than the diio trump is change. He hopes to talk about tomorrow night. I want to bring this question of honesty and what our job is. Back to you maggie. Times got attention last week when they called out a trump lie on the front page of saturdays paper. Another article doing that this week. Whose job is it and is the Hillary Clinton team right when they complain about the double standard saying voters think shes dishonest because the donald trump . Its not the medias job to run a campaign against donald trump and i think that is where were getting into the nub of what the Clinton Campaign argument is. I heard robby saying this would be unfair if. I think when a campaign sounds like it is complaining that often its not a winning posture. It is the medias job to point out absence of facts and in the case of the word lie as applied to donald trump, if youre not going to say a lie about saying that the president of thit dont know where else the world would apply. Everything is not a lie. Trump represents a unique challenge for reporters. I think that is really important to remember. It is a blizzard of things he pupts out there. He does. I used to watch when i was a kid. Hes like the classic character who sells potion in the town. By the time you realize hes on to the next town and cant hold him accountable. Thats the tough part. Hillarys job may be to do that. Zero in and not let him off the map. Will he go at it . People see donald trump as more honest than Hillary Clinton. That is a false equivalence. Excuse me. The point being when he says things like, you know, americans in our inner cities are in the worst shape ever, he speaks in hyperbole because in todays media culture thats how you get attention. If youre living in a city crimeridden and your kids are failing in school, for yth you think most people buy is that . I think most people understand what he is saying. We dont have to settle for the way things are now. Our inner cities especially, and these are Little Islands of poverty and despair and more of the same is failing those people and we need to do something about it. Yes, i think people understand what hes saying. I think the president called him out pretty well. Trump said africanamericans are living in the worst times. An 8yearold would say what what i think what maggie said, talking about salesmen. Weve talked on the show about media malpractice. There are different media in this country. The Washington Post is doing remarkable work exposing trumps university. The charity. But i think the role of journalism is to call out lies. I think this country went to war in iraq because a media failed to do just that. Been there before and i do think the role of media theres a difference between whether the media has been calling trump out consistently which they have done much more of in months. In months . No i disagree and whether voters are care. Theres a difference between the New York Times and cable tv. Lets be honest. Whats happened to our media on cable tv and it is acknowledged now i think there is a conflict reporting truthtelling institution. Each side want the media its not a left right wing. The campaign will be decided by Hillary Clinton and donald trump. The media is not going to determine the result of this. I think the biggest failing so far in the last two weeks is the fact we have only two candidates. I agree with gary johnson. Hes on 50 ballots and polling better than ross perot did. Hes not polling better than when he got back in the race in 92 in the summertime. When you take a look at the race. The fact that the Debate Commission stacked by the two Political Parties rigged it in such a way they cant get on stage it doesnt help the country. The debates used to be run by the high league of women voters. I think we need a debate with the Third Party Candidates who however as Bernie Sanders said to me, this is not a year for a protest vote. Too much at stake. Were talking about mark cuban and Gennifer Flowers. Being invited by the campaigns and not gary johnson . There should be a debate with the Third Party Candidates because you need those ideas in our bloodstream. There should be a debate about the fact we have American Cities with people on the streets literally trying to burn them down and nobody is talking about that in the context of the debate. The Clinton Campaign can do more today. Just about out of time. I want to go around the table. Will there be a winner tomorrow night . If so, who will it be . No. Who defiance winners . Debates i think Hillary Clinton will take the sort of solid four, five point lead she had before the conventions. I dont know who the winner would be. I guarantee they will both blame lester holt in one direction or the other. We have seen trump on one on ones doesnt do well with the president of mexico. The pastor told him to stop doing politics. He backed down. But later trump wins the hes like a twitter thug. He goes out there well end on that point. A lot will depend on what happens on social media and the days after. Thank you very much. Up next, the diplomat taking center stage in new york. He may be the most colorful great britains foreign minister. After the brexit vote. Called president obama a part canyon. Compared Hillary Clinton to a nurse and avoid meeting donald trump. He was here this week and we sat down for an interview just as the ceasefire in syria was falling apart and Syrian Government troops backed by russia launched a fierce assault on aleppo. The ceasefire seems of can anything be done . On the face it looks satirical that you got attacks in aleppo while were all sitting here having our conversations about ceasefires. I think its vital we continue to talk. For what purpose though . Any chance at all that the russians can be persuaded to do the right thing by syria and the world, call off assads troops, stop the carnage and the bombing. It gets to the question of what kind of game Vladimir Putin all over the world. You see him going into ukraine. American members of Congress Says russia is trying to influence our elections here. Russia feels and this will be no surprise to you that as putin has said, that the collapse of the soviet union was one of the great disasters of the 20th century and theres a spirit of assertiveness, a desire for russia to have prestige on the worlds stage. Having prestige. Ive got no problem with people thinking the kremlin is powerful. If they use that power and influence to good ends. In one way they can do that. Right now is tell assad to stop the bombing in aleppo. They have the ability to make this happen. Is Vladimir Putin showing up the west . What happened in the last two, three years, the sequence of events in syria, the decisions of my country, of your country, not to intervene, theres no question we left that door open. We failed to have the imagination to think that was what putin might do. We have now got to deal with it. Lets talk about brexit. Youre foreign secretary because of that vote. Is it really goingha yes, it is. The Prime Minister has said very clearly that brexit means brexit and were going to make a success of it. A lot of people look at the vote and say the themes you emphasize, control of trade, control of our borders are exactly the themes that donald trump is hitting here. I think this is sort of false analogy between brexit and events in american politics or anywhere else in the world. I dont want to get dragged into brexit was about da mockcy. The problem is our trade policy was handed lock, stock and barrel 43 years ago to the commission of the european union. So weve got a chance to take back control of our schedules, our world trade organization, how we run our terrorists and do deals. Youre familiar with john oliver . Let me give you more of britains new chief diplomat. Hes referred to cannibalism. And africans using these words which im not going to repeat. Compared Vladimir Putin to dabi. Hes huge here but i think hes hilarious. But i dont think well i may be wrong. I never watch tv anyway. I dont think hes as much watched in the u. K. Maybe thats good for you. He calls you the least diplomatic diplomat in existence and everybody is looking back at the yeah, yeah. I know exactly what youre going to say. No. No. No. No. Lets go through it. No. No. We can have the recitation i wont recite it. You go ahead and give me the answer. Trump, obama. The shame and embarrassment and the gasps. First of all, all those little nuggets are taken out of context. Number two, actually the amazing thing is people are so not interested. Nobody has asked you for an apology. Not a sausage. You havent had to trou i think it would be a mistake to try to do so because if you play much cricket . Do you play . Not since oxford. If you try to do a very cautious stroke in my experience you always get out anyway. You might as well try and hit the ball if you can. You are back in the city of your birth. I have to ask you about your last visit here. I cant believe its true. A little girl on the street mistakes you for donald trump . No. Absolutely true to say i was having my photograph taken and she said, whatever, gee is that trump. There you go. It is im afraid true. Very hard thing to live down. But that is not a comment on the u. S. Election. I got it. Thank you for joining us. Thank you. My pleasure. He was not going to get dragged into the election. I dont see the resemblance to donald trump. \s we and we will be right here tomorrow at 9 00 eastern with our whole political team. Vega.
