Wildness of donald trump. from a rational perspective is not fun and shouldnt be and yet it really is. >> it was good read? >> yeah. i mean, unlike most of the these books, you get a sense that donald trump really did write this. he probably wrote it with an ear piece in while driving a car or something just dictating to somebody down the end of the line. because it just sort of veers from topic to topic and, you know, he might be taking on china and then just stop to air the grievances and you ...

>> joining me now is jeb lund, columnist of guardian and rolling stone. all right, jeb. your impressions of "crippled america"? >> okay. this may not seem like a natural analogy but it reminded me of the action film "jimcato" with the discipline and timing of gymnastics with the power of karate in the sense its the empty glove yags of a campaign book with a sort of off the cuff wildness of donald trump. from a rational perspective is not fun and shouldnt be and yet it really is. >> it was good r...

Alleged to have committed that act. >> by the third paragraph in this story, i called in one of my editors and said you have read this? this is the most liewfd chris -- so clearly false. impossible to imagine how this got through the editing process if it hadnt been about this subject which is so fraught with politics and emotion, there is no way this would have seen print. >> why would they do that? >> absurd. taking up the role of advocates. advocating on behalf of a position rather than to tr...

We have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced. it was a stunning turn in the story that has the nation talking. jonathan, youre an editor. you write opinion pieces. deal with the editing process. what went wrong here? facts were wrong. the data of the accused, of the alleged rape, which is almost a capital crime. used to be one. is wrong. the fact that these two people worked together is wrong. the fact that the person who was accused of this act of -- felony act, didnt work...

This is not a political winner for them and if you look at the polling thats the case. >> you dont think that editing process, you dont think that works? >> i think what theyre trying to get across, they allege its about hypocrisy. what theyre trying to communicate is he supported this gross, terrible thing you guys dont like too, which tells me that obamacare is not working for them. thats why hagen wants to project this. im not sure people buy it. >> steve, the core issue here is the problem t...
