In terms of the rally, what was he talking about tonight, anything in particular . Reporter its really interesting. Donald trump has the teleprompter tonight, he has prepared remarks but its really a spot where hes deviated from those prepared remarks. It certainly caught our ear tonight. Hes talking about Hillary Clinton, setting up the private email server, all the controversy over her emails and the fact that she did not get charged. Heres what he had to say.

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 .
