>> i think what donald trump was able to do was to use allegations against bill clinton, whether it was the lewinsky affair or it was the other allegations against bill clinton to distract from some of donald trump's own allegations that he had against him about sexual misconduct. i think that was helpful to him in terms of commanding news cycles. i think it was helpful to him in trying to sort of blunt the impact of the allegations against him. >> jonathan allen, anything going on behind you? >> yeah, behind me they're starting to do some of the hand recounts again. it's a little over my left shoulder. not sure if it's in view. it's been going on all day. we just heard from the canvassing board. this is a lengthy process, but i think they're confident they'll be able to get it wrapped up in time for the deadline this weekend. >> jonathan allen, thank you. we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ i'm all for my neighborhood. i'm all for backing the community that's made me who i am. i'm all for my theatre, my barbershop and my friends. because the community doesn't just have small businesses, it is
