Question 23 from the poll, and i quote, what do you have a higher opinion of, donald trump or lice . The proportion of americans who say they have a higher opinion of donald trump is 28 , the proportion of americans who say they have a higher opinion of lice when compared to donald trump, 54 . So donald trump is losing to lice by 26 points. And turns out, its not just lice giving donald trump a run for his money. Not to nitpick ha ha but this polling finds that hes viewed less favorably than traffic jams, used car salesmen, hipsters, the dmv, jury duty, the band nickelback and root canals. Now, to be fair, mr. Trump only loses by Single Digits to some of these. Hes running pretty close to nickelback and used car salesman and hipsters. But overall, this is a list of things you dont want to be losing to. That said, there is also a little sunshine for mr. Trump in this new national poll, which we have exclusively got tonight. And the good news for him is that he does beat both cockroaches
Conducted an underground nuclear test amid threats of more sanctions from the United States and others. Donald Trumps Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said on cbs this morning that north korea would not dare do such a thing if her tough guy boss were president and in a statement the Trump Campaign pointed the blame at Hillary Clintons tenure at the state department. Quote, clinton promised to work to end north Koreas Nuclear program as secretary of state, yet the program has only grown in strength and sophistication. Hillary clintons north korean policy is just one more calamitous diplomatic failure from a failed secretary of state. End quote. On the counterpoint, Hillary Clintons statement was about the temperament needed to be commander in chief. Quote, this is another reminder that america must elect a president who can confront the threats we face with steadiness and strength, end quote. This week the president ial race has been unusually tuned to themes of National Security. Both
Fox . Whos your favorite leader. Get him off the hook. Fox, he was terrific. Any foreign leader . Merkel. Fine. Cant argue with that. At this hour, donald trump is dealing with two fights and neither of them is with Hillary Clinton. One of them is with himself, and that contest is being fought inside his very own head, but tonight were going to start with a slightly more public fight, the one within trumps campaign. Today cnn reported that trump aides on a Conference Call told Campaign Surrogates that trump is upset with some of the things including in a New York Times story, based on anonymous advisers is describing some inside the campaign as being unhappy with his debate performance from monday night. Also, nbc news katy tur will join us later in the program.

Tomorrow the president elect will kick off what is apparently going to be a multistate series of Campaign Rallies except theres no more campaign. So maybe its more like a concert tour but without a band . When they first announced plans to do this, people thought maybe that it would be their victory tour . Now they tell us they no longer want us to call it a victory tour. They want us to call it a thank you tour. Okay. Honestly, i dont know what to call it because who knows what this is . In other countries, you have sometimes seen stuff like this. That comparison is not a heartening one. In other countries in other eras of history, strongmen type leaders have liked to hold mass rallies to demonstrate their support among the people and often to intimidate their opposition. Theres no reason to think that that is what president elect trump is starting tomorrow, right . But we honestly do not know what this is for, what it is.

1919 . 8,000 miles in 22 days . That was an almost impossible thing that he set out to do. And it didnt work. People in this country didnt like his idea for this league of nations thing. They didnt like that idea before he hit the bricks on an 8,000mile tour to promote it. They didnt like the idea before the tour. They didnt like the idea after the tour either. And worse, the tour itself basically killed him. He started that tour on september 3rd. By october 2nd, the president had collapsed from exhaustion and suffered a serious stroke. It was just a disaster at every level. It went bad in so many different ways. And not all of them fail that seriously, but these things are genuinely known for failing. Like when george w. Bush did it after he was reelected in 2004. After that election, famously george w. Bush decided his First Priority would be to privatize Social Security. He wanted to hand Social Security over to wall street, give everybody a private account. And to convince the coun
