donald trump did it once and ryan lochte did it four or five times. especially on the african-american community it's like a preacher who is supposed to be doing international missionary work but who stays at home and speaks to the already converted. he should talk to the community that he wants to impact, part of this obviously is to demonstrate to the republicans that he's got his campaign together, but time will tell. this race, though, the balance and stead diness of this race issing, this is a four or bring down the numbers of those people who think he's unqualified or biased against minorities which i assume is why he's speaking out about the african-american community, that could really close this race. >> yeah, i think this race is meant to be close in the course of this. now we have to look at the target states but as the national number changes, the target states change in the course of this. in what i think is, we have to focus on a debate. the debate will determine the winner or loser of this campaign. >> first one is supposed to be on sep

swimming come down pretty hard on ryan lochte. we're going to have to see, though, how public opinion is swayed by this story in "usa today," if that's going to in some way alter their approach if they're going to be more lenient than they might have been otherwise. but, remember, they suspended michael phelps for six months for a dui weaving in traffic drunk, you know, putting other people in harm's way, how would you justify giving them more severe punishment for something that at least on the surface is >> do you think this impacts lochte's endorsements? >> there's going to be an impact. big companies will shy away from getting involved with any controversy like this. in the long run, if he finds a right way to rehabilitate himself in the public's mind, there might be even some ways for him to capitalize on this notoriety. i think there might be clever ways, but in the short term, people are going to say to themselves, people make those decisions we don't want to have anything to do wit but that could change. >> all right, a lo
