Try to cover a conflict or issue, trump has been very shrewd at unleashing some tweet and we all go scurrying off it like dogs chasing a car. thats why i think hes been effective at ma nipulating us to that extent. president obama put out one tweet as president elect. it was a very noble thing about thank you for bringing about change. and it really is kind of different to have a president elect watch a tv show and fire all these tweets into the ether. i mean, you kind of wonder if thats how hes...

>> yeah, i think some of the twitter storms were an intended distraction. i think that when we in the media try to cover some conflict or some other issue, then trump has been very, very shrewd at unleashing some tweet and we all go scurrying off after it, like dogs chasing a car. so i think hes been quite effective in manipulating us to that extent. i must say, though, president obama put out exactly one tweet as president-elect and it was a very noble thing about thank you for bringing about c...

We know hes a very clever politician. he has two serious problems hes addressing. because you also have this ridiculous claim without any evidence whatsoever and contrary to what everyone knows that millions of people voted against him. so here he has two problems. first of all, he takes office as president who did worse in the popular vote. this is a man who wants to talk about his mandate to do all these great things, but majority of the american people voted depends him. by millions. so hes t...

Something that might not have just come out of the ether? right? >> the attack in nice. mowing down hundreds of people in a truck. using a truck to kill all of those people. so -- and, again, youve had all of these postings and reports of the postings in the media about isis saying, use a truck, use a car, use a knife, use a hammer, use a hatchet, whatever you have. you dont need a firearm on explosive. use whatever you can use to attack people. so we dont know what might have led him to think o...

Done. that is nothing that can be undone. that its a wound that cannot be healed in the few hours before election day. that was ten days ago, such a critical time in this campaign when people were heading to the polls for early votes in states that have that, when people were making up their mind. when they thought maybe some republicans and independents who couldnt stomach donald trump could be persuaded to their side. and this might have talked him out of that. that was really baked into the p...

Into the ether and women. hes doing her a favor she couldnt have done for herself. shes now going to get women who are going to be drawn to her. her joke about the statue of liberty, oh, donald trump might give her a 4, maybe a 5. shes speaking to all women who feel like theyve been on the ugly underbelly of some version of misogyny or workplace hostility or something uglier. hes giving her the biggest gift he could give someone who struggles unpopularity and challenges at reaching some parts of...

Presidential candidate cheering on the medaling involvement of a foreign hostile adversary in our election process like trump has done with russia and these wikileak tapes, but certainly were at a moment in time where, you know, politics is being driven by, one, the low economic growth rates that have left so many middle income people behind and, two, a collapse of trust in institutions, you know, that trump with his rhetoric is making -- is making worse. that being said, theres just no evidence...

Mentality, but theyre in there. sensible word is its debate prep, not a crisis management meeting, getting ready for tomorrow night, continuing to do fund raising. their team is continuing to send out rapid response e-mails about hillary clinton. you know, putting donald trump on television last night at midnight in that video statement that was sort of predone, that went out on facebook was different. we obviously have not seen that before. but i think that there is a sense -- this is not july....

>> but is this just the latest case of donald trump saying dont shoot the messenger? sunlen serfaty is "outfront." >> i like him a lot. i dont like the issue or bringing it up. >> reporter: its become a fundamental play in donald trumps playbook, casting himself as just the bearer of bad news. >> theres this doubt. people have doubt. again, this was not my suggestion. i didnt bring this up. >> reporter: dredging up things hes heard, pushing them out into the political ether. and when pressed to ...

>> reporter: false never had one in your entire life? >> yes. >> reporter: you asked your mother, your dad, you never had one? >> yes, im sure. >> reporter: so, john, hes trying to put this to bed as much as he can. good luck to him because donald trump is continuing to throw ideas out ooeter -- ether as we heard from wolf blitzers interview last night, like if he should go to a federal judge and ask a federal judge to end this for once and for all. im sure ted cruz will not be that successful i...
