i think she has to be working aggressively. they obviously had a full schedule of plans of things to do with celebrities and in battleground states, she s going to arizona. should they basically act like nothing is going on and she should continue her schedule or does she need to address it somehow? i think for the next 48 hours they ought to jump on the ride of let s hear everything, fbi. out of her mouth? that would be fine. this is the dominant story now, be part of it or look clueless. i think these nuances if you worked for her you would say in a rally you would say how dare the fbi do this? no, no, that s the tone on pushing jack? what s the line? i would say i want total transparency, if i want fbi director comey to explain what they re looking at. we ll cooperate in all ways. let s see all of anthony s e-mails. repeat the old apology and pivot to the other stuff in 27 hours once the fire has burned out. you cannot pretend this won t be a fire for 72 hours.
you learned that the fbi using the words the republicans are using, reopened the investigation into hillary clinton s e-mails and it involved anthony you would spin it as horribly as you possibly could because that s what the republicans will be doing. and while i agree with mike you don t get good data for 48 hours, the other thing is there will be a cumulative effect of the messaging we ll hear from kellyanne and trump over the course of the next two days and that could have a ripple effect into monday, tuesday, wednesday. so we don t know how bad this is going to be till midweek. one of the things i like about you, mike, is you analyze this race in terms of available vote, who s out there, what s the universe of potential voters left out there making up their decision whether they ll stay home or go to the polls and who they would go to the polls for if they went. for those voters that exist in that universe right now, donald trump who we just showed tape of, calling anthony w
foreshadowing the anthony weiner matter. why are these people with great knowledge of the inner workings of our country and security, why are they giving hillary clinton briefings. because it s going to get revealed. i mean, her number one person, huma abedin, is married to anthony weiner who s a sleaze ball and a pervert. and i m not saying that i mean that s recorded history, white? i don t like huma going home at night and telling anthony weiner all of these secrets. but what about the fact that huma abedin, who knows every single thing about hillary clinton, she knows more about hillary than hillary knows and she s married to a pervert sleaze named anthony weiner who will send anything that he has out over twitter or any over form of getting it out. so i ll say again, the
it here, you are a republican but you are also a not a trump lover, let s put it that way. which is to say you re more of a trump hater. sitting where you look right now, give us a sense of what you think the political implications of the comey announcement is today. well, there s almost nothing as bad in the last 10, 11 days of the campaign than hearing you re going to be on the front page connected to anthony wei r weiner. in an fbi investigation. in an fbi investigation. it s almost like this was created to be an awful time for hillary clinton. it will grab everything for a couple days and the question is the campaign will demand this to not be as murky and it will go in one of two ways. the clinton campaign should be careful about picking wars with the fbi, bury weiner and see. i thought the john podesta statement was a little questionable. but if trump were jeb bush, he d go to five points ahead. you said the john podesta statement was defensive. do you think calling f
argue. there is a great irony of trump going on the offense on creepy sexual behavior. so if that s where thislan lands, anthony weiner, is donald trump able to make that argument for the available use of voters? i m dubious. trump is always well equipped to hurt somebody, he can just never fix himself so will this cause people who don t like hillary because they can t trust her to think less of her? probably. but will it change what those college-educated caucasian voters think about donald trump? particularly women? particularly the way he s trying to outbid now the clinton campaign on these sexual attacks, i think it s a big lift 11 days out. so matt the coverage of this week before today was framed by the abc news tracking poll which showed clinton with a 13-point lead. today the tracking poll comes out, it s a four-point lead. we asked my former colleague gary langer who does the wol why and he says the difference is because of a slight rise in the share of republicans an
