Problem. >> reporter: the democratic candidate former state senator campbell tried to paint kennedy as a flip-flopper for switching parties but voters were more focussed on the presidential election. kennedy was an supporter of donald trump. president elect trump won the state by 20 points and he returned to the state on friday to campaign for kennedy. thats partly why democrats viewed this race as a long shot and left their candidate on his own. with a win republicans are now celebrating one fi...

The second area is equally important. we have never seen a president elect have this kind of breach with the intelligence community shortly before taking office. thats unprecedented. we spent $70 billion a year, its estimated, on intelligence. right now donald trump doesnt seem to believe it is worth the effort. he is very dismissive. >> some experts called it a constitutional crisis. bob baer said we should have a do over and have the election again. if this election comes back with hard, indis...
