where does that leave a third party candidate like bill weld? particularly with what bill weld said last night about hillary clinton on this show. if the libertarian ticket dropped out or fell apart, if the green party candidates dropped out or fell apart, what would be the effect on the trump versus clinton race? can we tell who would be hurt and who would be helped if something like that happened? joining me again is steve kornacki. is there an answer to this question or is it a mixed bag as it looked to me? >> it's pretty muddled like you showed there. with the margin of error factored in it's tough to say one way or the other. it seems to be mostly a wash. but i think if you're a democrat, if you're a clinton supporter, there's two thing that has to worry you about the presence of the libertarians or any third party candidate. the first thing is this. traditionally libertarian will be disgruntled republicans. somebody who is fiscally conservative and they don't like trump but basically a disgruntled republican. >> their candidates are former

libertarian candidates gary johnson, me, vice-presidential candidate bill weld. if philosophically speaking you are fiscally conservative, you can spend money better than the government, if you're socially inclusive, meaning let people make choicings in their own don't put others in harm's way, if you're skeptical about our military interventions make this world a safer place, if you believe in free markets, if you believe in free trade and that it will result in more u.s. jobs, not fewer u.s. jobs, then there is a third choice. and you don't have to guess at the choice. myself and bill weld both former republican governors that served in heavily democrat states, we were not wallflowers serving as josh: after tonight the campaign is just about over and after all the ads, all the rallies and town halls, it's up to the voters to decide which message they believe in. josh mcelveen, wmur news 9. tom: very good. mike haddad in with a look at the election day forecast. mike: it's like the two minute warning, made it through most of the game and here we go. tom: it's be

but something else that is important is your running mate big we bill weld. he said last week, when it came to the democratic candidate hillary clinton, he had a lot of good things to say. i want to share it with you. >> well, i'm here vouching for mrs. clinton. and i think it is high time somebody did. and i'm doing it based on my personal experience with her. and i think she's deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the democratic national committee. so i'm here to do that. >> okay, governor. your running mate, bill weld, is vouching for hillary clinton. >> he's really got it in for trump. and, you know what, hillary, from the day that she -- if she's elected, the day that she takes office, she's going to be under a drumbeat of impeachment. whether or not the impeachment happens or not, it is going to be there for four straight years. and i got to say, all this wikileaks stuff, all this stuff about her saying one thing to wall street and another thing to main street, hey, when it comes to either one of them -- >> okay, gary, would you be

joining me now is former libertarian vice-president candidate, bill weld. he is the former governor of massachusetts. thank you for talking with me. >> thank you. always a pleasure. >> let's listen to a moment from your interview before the election and let's talk. >> i'm here vouching for mrs. clinton. i think it's high time somebody did. i'm doing it based on my personal experience with her. i think she deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the democratic national committee. so i'm here do that. >> what's your take now that you have seen the outcome? should third-party candidates feel responsible? >> i think the country needs a third party in washington, d.c. i was at paining during the election to make sure we took more votes from mr. trump than from mrs. clinton. the statistics do bear that out. i don't think we had a role in mr. trump's victory. at the same time, it was fun to run as the socially inclusive yet fiscally responsible ticket. we were the only ticket in favor of free trade. i think the issues that we were pitching woul

and i'm speaking now on behalf of myself and bill weld. that all of my voters would have stayed home, that they wouldn't have gone out and voted. it would have just held their nose. >> governor, just game it out a little bit if you can if you get to 5% and in coming elections you get the federal funds, where is it all leading in the movement? is it to supplant one of the two parties or are we looking at sort of more equal balance among more than two parties in your view? >> it could be the latter. i really think that you're going to see a whole bunch of libertarian candidates, former democrat elected officials that have had had it at being labelled as fiscally not responsible. i think there are a lot of democrats that really care about balancing a check book, that really care about lower taxes. i think there are a bunch of republicans that are socially inclusive and don't want to force you into a social agenda that some republicans do. i really see the libertarian party with the opportunity of supplanting first the republicans. i think tha

there's what bill weld has done. he still says, no, no, no, no, no.here's a personal relationship that he and hillary clinton have. gary johnson's been tweeting about the fbi investigation, he's been pushing this. they've been fundraising off of it. it would be quite hypocrite calve him if he suddenly said, whoa, hey, guys, please support hillary clinton. >> i want to break down, charles todd is mentioning it would be hypocrite call. >> i know. it's american politics in 2016. >> chuck todd is worried about hypocrisy in american politics. >> you know who cares, libertarian voters. >> charles, an honor. an honor in the flesh. >> will you stop. i will see you -- >> chuck todd, wow. you better watch chuck, mtp daily. >> i'll tell you which world series team have you to root for? >> really? >> yeah. >> i can tell you now. >>> coming up, the fbi wades into the election yet again this time releasing documents related to bill clinton's pardon more than 15 years ago. what is going on at that bauer row? for partners in health, time is life. we have 18,000 peopl

. >>> coming up in the next hour, former libertarian vp nominee bill weld on his impression of last week'sher he feels responsible for donald trump winning. eyes open? good. because it's here. cue the confetti. say hi to xiidra, lifitegrast ophthalmic solution. xiidra is the first prescription eye drop solution approved to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye. so give your eye doctor a ring, and your eyes just might thank you. one drop in each eye, twice a day. the most common side effects of xiidra include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when the drops are applied to the eyes, and an unusual taste sensation. to help avoid eye injury or contamination of the solution, do not touch the container tip to your eye or any surface. if you wear contact lenses, remove them before using xiidra and wait for at least 15 minutes before placing them back in your eyes. are you ready to do something about your dry eyes? talk to your doctor about xiidra. >>> it means really soon. of course, that time line and that choice belongs to one man, president-elect trump. but look, he is filling man

he does not appear to be a live and let live small government type like somebody like bill weld.onald trump appears to be something different than all of that. and i don't think he's just defining a new category. i think he's different. he's the only person we've ever had go this far in american politics who really did get here by threatening to jail his political opponent, by threatening that unless he won the election, he would not recognize the validity of that election. we've never had somebody get this far in american politics by threatening to build a nationwide deportation force to throw millions of people out of this country. we've never had somebody get this far who has proposed building a wall along one of our borders who apparently is still proposing to ban muslims from being allowed into this country. you might have heard that the muslim ban was gone. we'll be reporting later on tonight that, no, it is still there. we just never had somebody like this at this level of american politics. and maybe it's all been a game and maybe he doesn't mean any of it and maybe he'll

rachel maddow's show, libertarian vice presidential candidate bill weld make big news yesterday withl. let me play what he said. i want your response, joan. >> yeah. >> i can't imagine that you wouldn't tell a person in north carolina or ohio to vote for hillary clinton if the choice they were making was between giving the libertarian party 5% or potentially electing donald trump because you guys don't have a chance against donald trump and she does and if they vote for you, they would be helping to elect donald trump. >> well, i'm here vouching for mrs. clinton. i think it's high time somebody did. i'm doing it based on my personal experience with her. i think she's -- deserved to have people vouch for her other than members of the democratic national committee so i'm here to do that. >> what is the impact of this? >> i think it's great. i hope it has a lot of impact. i think it took a lot courage on his part to go against his own running made. it was wonderful to see. just like it was wonderful to see the president step up and look into their hearts to see why they might respond to

i keep flashing back to my conversation a week ago, i guess it was with bill weld, with the former massachusetts republican governor running as the vice presidential nominee of the libertarian party. he gave just a litany of criticism against donald trump and then he said he was there to vouch for hillary clinton. and he said he would not say that he was dropping out of the race. he would not say that people should not vote for the libertarian ticket, but that if they had a choice, people had a choice between trump and clinton, he could not have been more emphatic in terms of his preference for clinton. but it matters who you vote for. not just how you feel. and in all of these states where we are seeing the johnson number be larger than -- significantly larger than the margin between these two candidates. what they were asking for was an anti-trump vote, but they weren't willing to cast it for clinton. that's what they needed to say. to the extent that the anti-trump vote was a gary johnson vote, that may have made trump president. >> the story we' >> doris kearns goodwin joins us from boston,

it's why a lot of moderate republicans, i think wish that bill weld were at the top of the libertarianecause they might be able to vote there. what frum is trying to do is normalize something that for republicans is difficult. >> and therein lies the dilemma for a lot of americans. they looked at both sides. they're not in love with hillary clinton. they're not in love with donald trump. but they are putting country as david frum put it there over party. in a typical side by side if you didn't love either, you might vote for the republican to support the party and the ticket but in this case a lot of conservatives are saying to themselves -- not just people never trump from the beginning. people are looking at it saying we can get through a hillary clinton presidency. we can work with hillary clinton. it wouldn't be my first choice. this is where we are. >> all right. still ahead on "morning joe" -- >> mr. obama hammered his opponent as a candidate who can't be trusted. >> governor romney has been using all his talents as a salesmen to dress up these very same policies that failed our
