As we continue from miami i a am joined by journalist and author Sheryl Attkisson his most recent book the smear i thank you had a chance to listen to those final l few calls and the last caller thinks people were duped voting for donald trump. There are a few out there that i talk about in the smear if you watch the rallies of Hillary Clinton and donald trump and talk to people outside the big cities, that is what led me to think he would be president you get a different picture to stereotype. Host tie in the smear to the election 2016 were there campaigns . I think it was the academy of factors whether social media, smear groups all the tactics that they used everything came to play in 2016 and more money was spent by Hillary Clinton and her supporters than donald trump.
