Everything single thing that happened with donald trump. making huge issues out of things that might not have been huge issues with the voters. howie: the "new york times" is the maybe that broke the email scandal. do you see any serious self-reflection of recognition other than maybe a few columnists, gee, we botched it and we need to do a much better job? >> i thought after the election you would see all these people saying what did we do, how did we mess up so much? its an objective truth tha...

P.r. thats all these celebrities are doing. so as we talked about, back in 2008, there were a number of republicans who were expected to go to the convention in minnesota. but they didnt go. i broke that story. the reason i broke the story is i was calling a number of campaign asking if they were going to do. i found that all these republic consequence werent going to go and all the democrats were. in this case people are going out and asking celebrities, are you going to go to the inauguration?...

Howie: you called donald trump a clown. >> there are some clownish things he said. and i dont believe hes a true conservative. howie: in 2008, you got almost no attention from the main stream press right up until shortly before the iowa caucus which of course you won. this time around it seems you are also not getting as much attention. do you see a pattern here? >> i think there is a certain media narrative. the media decides this guy is a winner in a way that doesnt make sense top the voters o...
