And a president ial nominee stuns morning shows by saying what is aleppo. Welcome to the lead, im jake tapper. Last night felt like a debate donald trump and Hillary Clinton went one after another. The dualing narratives were enlightning. Some Foreign Policy experts would say how detached from the facts on the ground they were. Sarah murray is in cleveland. It is hard to argue that anyone had a particularly good night last night, so Hillary Clinton this first thing going on the offensive. It seems that trump was set on making sure clinton did not get the last word. Youre right, donald trump was in in cleveland at a Charter School he could not help rehash some of the topics that came up last night.

She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching right smack in the middle of the heart and she wouldnt be prosecuted. Cnns Scott Mcclain is joining us from washington. Well start with Hillary Clinton, the reaction youre hearing this morning to the deplorables comment.

She goes on to say, quote, its deplorable trump bhlt his campaign largely on prejudice and paranoia and given a National Platform to hateful views and Voices Including Retweeting Fringe Bigots of a few dozen followers and spreading their message to 11 Million People. Donald trump responding in another statement saying isnt it disgraceful that Hillary Clinton makes the worst mistake of the political season and instead of owning up to this grotesque attack on American Voters she tries to turn it around with a pathetic rehash of the words and insults used in her failing campaign. Clintons comments generating strong reaction. Certainly a lot to talk about here with our political paneling. Joining me now, a. Scott boldin. And scotty nell hughes, political writer.
