Sciutto, watching the president speaking, you know, in greece, right, and then having a reporter in the audience ask the greek prime minister, who said donald trump was evil at one point, how he feels about the american president-elect now. >> well, ill tell you, its interesting, because tsipras, you could argue, is one of the first populists elected in this wave of populist also leaders in european countries. he was the protest candidate for european plans for the greece economy. i dont think t...

Governor kasich could not bring himself to vote for donald trump, and he couldnt bring himself to vote for hillary clinton, so he wrote in a vote for john mccain. david from accepted the real choice and announced today that he voted for hillary clinton. he wrote in an oped for the atlantic, i have no illusions about hillary clinton. she is a patriot and will uphold the sovereignty of the united states. why didnt you write in john mccain? and what do you say to republicans who are thinking about ...

Immediately before made the best case i could from a conservative point of view for donald trump, hillary clinton and a protest candidate. i feel like you have to face your choices. the absentee ballot which i septembe sent, stayed in my box about four days. >> when did you send it? >> about a week ago. but i would say, im not one who is greatly swayed by endorsements, but vladimir putins, that cut a lot of weight with me. >> that would be the thing in the end that weighed the heaviest on you, w...

So florida, which just got hit with storms, extreme weather. we know its a place where people care about in a very practical sense. we also know florida is the place where the clinton campaign hopes to deal the death stoke to donald trump. lots of analysis to suggest theres no path of victory to him. >> alex, how many young voters know of al gore or know how persuasive is al gore going to be. >> i think to a great degree gore is known by young peeople s "the inconvenient truth" guy. hes the guy ...

Problem? >> absolutely. this is a mind versus heart dilemma that candidate -- that democrats are having, the way one strategist put it to me. sanders is seen as the long-standing, consistent progressive, who has been saying these things, talking about income inequality and climate change a long time. clinton is seen as a mix of pragmatic and political considerations. but at the end of the day, democrats overwhelmingly see her as likeliest to win as the best person to carry their torch to a gener...

After glancing way. but to throw away the issue used by hillary clinton by others, certainly not by to people to her left but by others struck me as an odd sort of jumping over the tennis net saying im going to make sure you win this game. it didnt seem like the action of a competitor, but a protester who would rather win on the issues. >> i dont think that bernie sanders thinks of himself as a protest candidate. but i do think what he did there was very different from what we see a lot of in po...

It didnt seem like the action of a competitor, but a protester who would rather win on the issues. >> i dont think that bernie sanders thinks of himself as a protest candidate. but i do think what he did there was very different from what we see a lot of in politics. and bernie sanders has said again and again he doesnt like that. he doesnt like the personal back and forth and it has been a signal from the start of his campaign that he was not going to do it. my sense is there was a certain wisd...

There that really had greater risk for hillary clinton than for bernie sanders and so its a much clearer race now. its hillary versus bernie and the voters who have already made some pretty stark choices between the two now have a very clear path between now and the iowa caucus as to which candidate and which part of the party they want to support. >> do you think that bernie sanders is running for the nomination or as a protest candidate? i know im going back to this and sound so old school. wh...

One part still bothers me when bernie sanders said get off of this e-mail thing. i thought okay thats grand and nice. if you are out there busting your hump for this guy and you are trying to get him to win the election you take any break wrou can get. you dont just run on ideology. here he was. seth myers said hillary was laughing not because it was a funny thing. it wasnt funny. he was giving her an issue that somebody could have used against her. is he running for president or is he a protest...
