hours, pillar to post for a year in the primaries, people didn t really think it was going to happen. so they didn t give him the scrutiny that suddenly you saw an incredible tsunami of in the general election. it seems to me when you are having one finding after another about trump with implications, it looks negative. that s the fact checking. on the clinton side, you also found the news hijacked by the russian hacks and the wikileaks dump. this was as asymmetrical a pace for the two campaign coverages that i think i have ever seen. they were just both so unpopular. i mean just unpopular. i went home, asked my dad and my brother, would you have ever thought voting for hillary clinton? they both laughed and they dropped some expletives and they went off on how corrupt they thought she was. so then my dad starts criticizing trump. i m just like he goes, well, he has to be better than what we have.
year. this isn t bush/gore. you are examining with 100% name recognition who has never held or run for elective office. you are examining something with hillary clinton who has held a bunch of offices and been a public sphere for two and a half decades. she s been gone over every element of her candidacy and her record in 1,000 different ways. he has had none of this done. he is having everything scrutinized, particularly i want to say in the general election. i gotta say in the primary season, i wouldn t say the conventional press did wonderfully. the cable outlets essentially acquiesced to his programming. there wasn t a lot of scrutiny. even though he led except for 72 hours, pillar to post for year in the primaries, people didn t really think it was going to happen. so they didn t give him the scrutiny that suddenly you saw an incredible tsunami of in the general election. it seems to me when you are having one finding after another about trump with implications, it looks negative.
campaign that we would not know how to cope with. i think this is a very, very real national security problem. i would absolutely support hearings along that line. bill: kellyanne conway 30 minutes ago told martha the white house did not talk about at the time because they thought hillary clinton would win. do you agree? who knows. i don t know why the white house didn t talk about it. i think there is something grandly ironic, fbi calls help deck, as i understand it they got voice mail. it is all weird. this whole campaign from the clinton side has always been weird. podesta was the manager. they raised a billion dollars. think about how many donors he got mad at him. every liberal thinks they mismanaged campaign. podesta is trying to desfratly find somebody else, it wasn t my fault i was a stupid campaign manager, somebody else did it to us. it is beyond my control. nice try. in the end reality hillary clinton lost.
do you understand the level of anger or frustration on the clinton side? absolutely. i think what you saw reflected in that debate still are the raw emotions all around the country. i speak to people every day in my district. i have received hundreds of e ma mails and calls of people upset. could you see this coming. i remember talking to people who were working on the campaign who were telling me that they couldn t eat, they couldn t sleep. people felt a stake in this election that i have never seen before. now a degree of upset over the results or glee on the other side that i haven t seen before. it s going to take a long time to heal. i wish we had a president-elect that was growing into the job and showing signs of being able to mend that divide. sending out a tweet saying millions of people undocumented immigrants voted, you send out that kind of tweet and it basically a big chunk of the country, maybe most of the country is simply going to say
energized white supremacists that s why hillary clinton lost. it s a misreading of what happened. nobody s over it on the clinton side yet, and i think it s going to take an awfully long time. i ve been to a lot of these. i didn t go to this one, unfortunately. i moderate add plan like that and usually it s all about the mechanics. what were you thinking at this point while we thinking this and everyone is gracious. this is way too raw. i think maybe it was a little too soon. yeah. conceivable. stick around. don t go far. up next, unemployment rate at its lowest point now in nearly a decade here in the united states. what behind the numbers? what it means for the u.s. economy, for the trump administration. we ll be right back.
