dreamweaver does not allow making adjustment to .lead

dreamweaver cc says margin-bottom does not apply to your selection (.lead in this case) because it has been overridden by the rule .jumbotron p

Yes, as displayed by dreamweaver, the rule you apply is being overriden by another one which targets the same HTML element and which probably have more specificity.

If the lead class is applied to the paragraph, try to target this one this way:

p.lead{

}

Also, when playing with CSS, keep in mind that css specificity has Its matter. An element can be targeted in differents ways, but It's all the time the CSS selector with the more specificity that will be applied on the targeted element, whatever Its position in the order of the css rules.

Here is a quick illustration of css specificity: here.

I don't want to be that guy, but don't use Dreamweaver :) Stick with Sublime, Espresso or Netbeans.
