SEND IT BACK TO YOU. I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS. >> I WILL SEE YOU IN PROBABLY ABOUT 10 MINUTES FROM NOW. ARE YOU SURPRISED DONALD TRUMP SHOWED UP AFTER THIS DEBATE AT ALL? AND ARE YOU SURPRISED HE IS DECLINING TO COMMIT TO A SECOND DEBATE? >> LOOK, YOU UTTERED THE RULE. RIGHT? WHEN A CANDIDATE THEMSELVES GOING TO THE SPIN ROOM, WE KNOW THEY HAD A BAD NIGHT. I KNOW THE WAY TRUMP THINKS ON THIS. HE KNOWS HE'S GETTING ROASTED IN ALL OF THE POSTDEBATE, SO HE IS TRYING TO SORT OF INTERRUPT THAT CONVERSATION, INTERRUPT IT ON ALL THE DIFFERENT NETWORKS TO TRY TO SHOW SOME FORM OF STRENGTH. IT JUST WASN'T A GOOD NIGHT. I'M NOT SURPRISED. YOU KNOW, THESE DEBATES ARE GOOD FOR HIM. HE'S MADE THE POINT, HE'S NEVER BEEN SEEN AS WINNING ANY OF THESE DEBATES. AGAIN AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON AND JOE BIDEN. HE'S NOT A LIKABLE PERSON DURING THESE DEBATES. AND THAT COMES THROUGH IN PUBLIC OPINION. BUT GUESS WHAT? HE SEEMS TO SURVIVE THESE MOMENTS BECAUSE HE HAS A STRONG BASE OF SUPPORT. I DON'T THINK HE PERSUADED ANYBODY NEW. THE QUESTION IS, THE KAMALA HARRIS PERSUADE ANYBODY TO HER SIDE QUICK I ALSO UNDERSTAND WHY KAMALA HARRIS WANT ANOTHER DEBATE. I DON'T THINK SHE DID ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN TO VOTERS WHAT SHE WOULD DO. I THINK THEIR STRATEGY WAS PRETTY CLEAR. DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO SHOWCASE CHAOS. AND THAT'S WHAT SHE DID. IN THAT SENSE, SHE DID A GREAT JOB OF THAT. IT WAS ALL COUNTER PUNCHES. IT WAS CONSTANT. TO THE POINT HE EVEN TOOK THE INHERITED DEBATE THAT SHE THREW AT HIM. RIGHT? A LITTLE SHOT ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE INHERITED HIS WEALTH. AND THAT HE HAD TALKED ABOUT THAT. >> RIGHT. >> CHARLOTTESVILLE. >> SHE KNEW THAT WOULD GET UNDER HIS SKIN. >> MY DOGS HAVEN'T CHASED OUT OF THAT MANY SQUIRRELS. OKAY? THAT'S HOW MANY HE STARTED CHASING AFTER. >> YOU TOLD ME FOUR HOURS AGO, YOU SAID THAT SHE WOULD USE THE SORT OF PRAISE YOU ARE FIRED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. SHE SURE DID. AND ANOTHER IDEA OF WHAT SHE WAS SAYING, I WANT TO GET TO ONE MORE QUESTION. LET'S GO QUICKLY TO YOU HERE. YOU HEARD THE FORMER PRESIDENT TALK ABOUT HOW POLLING HAS TAKEN A TURN RECENTLY. HE SEEMS TO BE SETTING POLLS THAT DO NOT MEET OUR STANDARDS, THIS RACE LOOK A LOT LIKE IT DID IN JULY. GENERATED BY KAMALA HARRIS TAKING THE TOP OF THE TICKET. >> YEAH. IT'S SORT OF WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT A FEW MINUTES AGO. WE'VE SEEN THIS GOING BACK TO 2016. DOING THINGS THAT SORT OF CYCLE BACK TO THE BASELINE AT SOME POINT. THAT'S ROUGHLY WHERE THEY ARE IN THE POLLING RIGHT NOW. THE STANDINGS THAT YOU SEE THEM AS AGENTS OF CHANGE. THAT HE REALLY IS THE STATUS QUO, AND IS THE OUTRIGHT MAJORITY THAT SAYS KAMALA HARRIS REPRESENTS MORE OF THE SAME. IT WAS CLEARLY THE TRUMP CAMPAIGNS HOPE, HAMMERING THE POINT THAT SHE IS PART OF AN ADMINISTRATION RIGHT NOW THAT IS NOT VERY POPULAR. HE SAID THAT LINE, WHY HASN'T SHE DONE IT? >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> REINFORCING THAT POSITION. >> YEAH, SHE ALSO TOWARD THE END OF THE DEBATE GAVE HER BIG LINE. I REPRESENT THE NEXT GENERATION. I REPRESENT TURNING THE PAGE. AND TO TRUMP'S POINT, YOU HAVE TO ASK IF SHE WANTS THE SECOND DEBATE SO THAT SHE CAN HAMMER THAT POINT OVER AND OVER AGAIN? REALLY LAYING OUT THAT CASE. WHAT WHAT THAT LOOK LIKE? AND I KEEP GOING BACK TO THIS, HAILLE. HOW WOULD THIS ADMINISTRATION BE DIFFERENT IF SHE DOES REPRESENT CHANGE? IT IS REALLY INTERESTING TO SEE IF THEY WOULD ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THE SECOND DEBATE. AGAIN, TALKING TO ANDREA BY THE WAY. ALWAYS GETTING TO THE FRONT. GOOD FOR THEM. IT JUST SPEAKS TO THE FACT THAT, YES, HE CLEARLY CAME OFF
