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

to draw is that for all of its ills the republican party never had a space for marjorie taylor greene before. it never had nick fuentes speak at the republican national convention before. this is a new bottom. i don t even know if it s the bottom yet. i mean, every week there s a new bottom. take that on as well as kris s point about the new twitter. yeah, no, i think it is exactly right that donald trump didn t unleash he did unleash these forces but he did not originate these forces, to your point. correct. and i think what people really don t understand about donald trump is that he is a creature of conservative media. he was a consumer of conservative media prior to 2016. he appeared on fox news regularly every single week until he made his announcement. he was a person who read breitbart and believed breitbart. and the reason he was popular in 2016 is because he went out on the stump and he talked to people and he said these are the things that i believe and they were the
daca? i don t think the influence of that breitbart alt-right world, i think it is overstated. we saw that from the fall of steve bannon. when donald trump is on board where something right now unfortunately the republican party is in a place where they follow along, roll over and do what he want. lit me play you the flip side. this is mark short, legislative affairs director and when he was asked on fox news sunday. watch us. i think conservatives recognize the benefit to really securing our border and helping fix the long-term problems. yes, i think it is widespread support on our side. so he is talking to a broader ways here. maybe not just the alt-right. what is the sense of whether republicans in the house will go along with what the white house is offering? conventional wisdom is that this immigration deal is dead on arrival. not just the left but also the
right. hard liners on capital hill will have potential problems in the house. but steven miller, on the night that they started to roll this out, to folks on capitol hill and the trump adminiration, he got on a conference call as w reported at the daily beast te last wee with a bunch of noted immigration policy hawks. and the reception was basically universally on the phone call according to people we spoke to who were on the call. incredibly chilly. basically nothing but skepticism, ranging to deep september skis em on the call. so not just breitbart but a lot of influential hard liners and people preferring draconian immigration policy who have been influential for years will go to war on this deal as if this is all they will get. it is not just people who read breitbart who will be concerned about this.
