Thanks for joining us for the second hour of 360. If you thought you heard it all in this election, one candidate says Vladimir Putin is more of a leader than the sitting president of the United States. The head of the rnc is criticizing the first woman nominated by a major party because he thinks she didnt smile enough last night. There are still two months to go. The first debate just a few weeks away. We have reports from both camps. Sara murray joins us now. Trump spent a lot of today explaining what he said in the forum last night. Reporter thats right. He did go after Hillary Clinton. He took another opportunity to take a couple shots at her for her use of a private email server but he launched into a very lengthy defense today of his view of The War In Iraq. He again restated that he was opposed to the war before it began and this went on for quite awhile. I want to play just a portion of it for you. Before the war, much closer to the war, i gave statements that we shouldnt go i
That americas generals have been, reduced to rubble. I think he was talking about the Commander In Chief reducing the influence of generals to rubble. You know who doesnt agree . Hillary clinton. He trash talks about americas generals saying that theyve been, quote, reduced to rubble. He said he would fire them all and hand pick his own generals because he knows so much about what it takes to be a general. Mark, im going to start with you because donald trump and Hillary Clinton arent holding back attacking each other today. Take a look at this. Let me be clear. Last night was yet another test and donald trump failed yet again. We saw more evidence that he is temperamentally unfit and totally unqualified to be Commander In Chief. Hillary clinton is always complaining about whats wrong. I just watched her on the tarmac. She tried to make up for her horrible performance last night. It was a horrible performance. So she went on the tarmac and told more lies. I think what he said was total
There are people like that. He has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people. Now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive, hateful, mean spirited rhetoric. Some of those are irredeemable. There are the others that feel the government has let them down. The economy has left them down. Nobody cares about them. Nobody worries about what happens to that you are lives and futures and they are just desperate for change. They dont buy everything he says but he seems to hold out some hope that theyre lives will be different. That they wont wake up and see their jobs disappear. Lose a kid to heroin, feel like theyre in a dead end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well. Clinton is now apologizing for part of what she said last night. Let me read you part. She said last night i was grossly generalistic, thats never a good idea. I regret saying half. He said its deplorable that trump has built his campaign
Xenophobic religious bigot. Hes not a serious adult. I cant vote for donald trump given the things he said. Trump should not be supported. I believe hes disqualified himself to be president. I just cannot support donald trump. All right. I want to bring in scott mclain. What is Hillary Clinton and her camp saying about this . Reporter yeah, so this is getting plenty of reaction, obviously. What she said about the comments from a fundraiser last night. Perhaps it was aimed at galvanizing her base but its firing up donald Trump Supporters, heres what she said. To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump Supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. Right . The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophob xenophobic, islam phobic, you name it. There are people like that and he has lifted them up. Reporter basket of deplorable is a Trending Topic on twitter. You dont have to look far to see outrage. Breitbart that steve bannon is calling this Hillary Clintons 47 moment, ref
How can he serve all americans . This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. Meanwhile trump insisting he was against the iraq war from the beginning and he says his interview with esquire magazine proves it. And in august of 2004, very early in the conflict, extremely early in the conflict, right at the beginning, i made a detailed statement in an interview to esquire magazine. Tonight the writer who did that interview tells me what else trump said. Plus libertarian candidate gary johnson finds himself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. What would you do if you were elected about aleppo . About . Aleppo. And what is aleppo . Youre kidding . No. Will johnsons voters jump ship and who will get their support . I want to go to executive editor mark preston. Were doing to talk about that. What a stunning moment. I saw it happening live. Lets talk about the fallout from last nights military forum, a lot of backandforth attacks today. Does any of this change the state of this race . I think
