from ericson. it's unfortunate to have to disinvite him but i don't want someone on stage who gets a hostile question from a lady and his first inclination is imply it was hormonal. it just was wrong. ericson also took to twitter, called the quote a bridge too far, and explained why he had disinvited donald trump there. there was a lot of excitement for trump. he has a lot of fans so interesting to see what red state conventiongoer think about this tomorrow when ericson has promised, first thing in the morning and explains his decision. >> all right. so, trump campaign response to this has been what, and do we know for certain mr. trump is not coming? >> i mean who can say with donald trump. he kind of improvises. what we have heard from the campaign through a statement, not from trump himself they put out a statement calling ericson a weak and pathetic leader saying they plan to hold an event somewhere else and basically saying too bad red state you don't get donald trump today. now once again i'l

donald trump. >> reporter: in response, trump called ericson a total loser but there were unmistakableigns of turmoil in his campaign saturday. in a rare occurrence, the billionaire businessman tried to soften his remarks but in a very trump way tweeting blood would have been coming out of kelly's nose and releasing a statement saying only a deviant would think anything else. his political adviser roger stone apparently didn't agree and left the campaign. >> we don't have time for political correctness, but the campaign seems to have gone into a cul-de-sac and i'm disappointed by a lack of specificky. >> trump is measuring his success by the drudge report. he didn't appear in public today, but in an interview with the washington post, he said i have a lot of money and i'm not getting out. i'm going to win. >> donald trump will appear on face the nation tomorrow morning at 8:30 right after the sun morning edition of kpix5 news. >>> well, this is as far as democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders got in a speech in seattle today. >> thank you seattle for being one of the most pro

we have seen eric ericson address the issue. i was able to speak to some attendees here to get their reaction. we saw the crowd reaction. by and large, it was received favorably. i did speak to one woman who came down all the way from indianapolis. she was upset about it. she is not a donald trump supporter. she said she is probably going to vote for ted cruz or scott walker but she said the media is twisting these words and that donald trump should not have been disinvited. we have heard from carly fiorina, george petaki and lindsey graham and i was able to talk to governor mike huckabee and ask him what he thought about donald trump's comments. >> you know, mark, megyn kelly was a colleague for me for 6 1/2 years when i was at fox. she is one of the most remarkable people i know, intellectually, unsurpassed as a broadcast journalist. she has great integrity. i'm going to stand for megyn kelly. >> reporter: do you think it was inappropriate? did he cross the line with that comment? >> i certainly would never say anything about

ericson and his angry enabler the are embarrassed by his name sake. donald trump had to say this, small crowds @red state today in atlanta. people were very angry and he has saved me time and money. >> caller: good morning, i would like to see carly when she says that hillary clinton lied, they all lie. when that reporter asked trump, she went back way far and looked for things to aggravate him instead of talking about the issues. they didn't do that with the other candidates. i didn't hear them say well, you said this back in such and such. they just did that to trump. and as far as the political correctness, the pendulum is way out of whack. and they worry about things like that crook in georgia that said the n word 30 years. the media blew that up as political correctness. they go after the red skins name for political correctness when there are so many political things that should be do. trump is telling them absolutely what day don't want to hear. and the whole population of the united states knows he is telling the truth, and these politicians,

a fellow might disagree is eric ericson, the redstate.com editor who disinvited donald trump to an event this weekend. eric, good to have you. >> thank you for having me. >> i noticed donald trump was not invited to the gathering but his name kept coming up so its as if he was there. do you regret the disinvite? >> i don't if would have done it over again, based on his comments and then reaching out to his campaign to get clarification i got multiple stories and overnight, then they had changed again. so ail wanted was a straight answer of what he said and a clarification, and he was going to do a q & a and i would talk to him but i don't know it was donald himself but members of the campaign. first they didn't want to acknowledge he said what he said. then they said he when whatever, not wherever, but on the tape it was clear he said wherever, and i just couldn't get a straight answer, so i felt like shy disinvite him from the event. i would have done it again. to hillary clinton's point, donald trump being in the race right now actually can the she realizes it's a benefit to the republ

. >> after the interview, red state event ordering erick ericson took to twitter saying, i have rescinded my invitation to mr. trump. while i have tried to give great latitude, the bridge to kelly was a bridge too far. trump fired back. this is just another example of weak know through being politically correct. for all the people looking forward to mr. trump coming, we will miss you. >> what donald trump said is wrong. that is not how we win elections. worse yet, that is not how you bring people together on solve problems. >> for donald trump, speculation. if all the controversy there's hurt or help his run for the white house. nbc news. >>> it is back. yahoo! is recreating an ionic billboard to celebrate its 20th anniversary this week. it is reconstructing the purple marquis. you're looking at pictures of it. it sat in roughly the same place until 2011 when they tore it down. the new one is a bit different than the original. the original? take a look. it is on the left. and then the one on the right. yeah. there's more shape to the letters. >> yeah. these days, with online advertising o

eric ericson tweeting, i have rescinded my invitation to mr.mp, while i have tried to give him great at latitude his remark about megyn kelly was a bridge too far. gop presidential hopefuls try to focus the discourse on policy and break through the trump headlines. already yesterday candidates were firing back over trump's initial treatment of kel when asked about the disparaging remarks. >> i think donald trump can speak for himself. i'm not going to use that language. >> no. of course it's not. everybody knows that. >> anybody who paints with a broad brush, calls people names, it's not helpful to our political process. >> reporter: eric ericson wrote that the campaign attempted to clarify trump's comments saying he meant to say whatever, not wherever. but in the statement from the campaign, a spokesman only says this is just another example of weakness through being politically correct and they will who would campaign stop at another location, anthony, no word on the details. >> thank you. >>> breaking news overnight. 12 people are dead in th

and i was reading something eric ericson said. those comments largely closed the door on evangelical support for trump. do you think that's true? >> i don't think necessarily think that's true. at least at this point. this was classic donald trump. i don't think anybody thought he would go to an iowa evangelical event or any evangelical event and talk about yes, i've asked god for forgiveness and i'm on my knees every night. they realize that's not the authentic donald trump. donald trump knows that's not the authentic donald trump. he is authentic which has been his calling card all along. evangelicals can deal with some truth telling. they've had many lies over the years to them as it relates to politics, being used as a pawn many times in political games. get out the evangelical vote and those issues are dropped. so donald trump is in essence showing some truth telling here. at least on the for giveness front. at least they know where he stands. >> i should say i put these questions to trump as well and he said what you said, t

eric ericson a conservative blogger and 'siring king maker disinvited billionaire front runner donald trim top his gathering of republican candidates because the first time candidate trump who is at the top of the polls, said a cable news host tough questions in thursday night's debate because she was hormonal. trump denied the claim. and discussion of topics that usually make people uncomfortable at the dinner table. trumps rivals weighed in press releases, public appearances and in 140 character bursts on twitter. it's at the beginning of this campaign you had bet in your office pool on this scenario coming to pass, should you quit your job and turn your attention to the stock market. we'll be right back with our political panel. what if there were only one kind of dog? then it would be easy to know everything about that one breed. but in fact, there are over three hundred breeds of dogs. because no one can be an expert in every one... an app powered by ibm watson will help vets tap specialized knowledge in the cloud for every breed... and whatever else walks, flies or slithers thro

. >> reporter: trump's tweet prompted an equal response from ericson a fox news contributor. >> mr. went on twitter saying i was a weak and pathetic leader, which is okay. i actually think it is really weak and pathetic to take a tough question from a journalist and assume she's on her period. >> reporter: trump was talking about her nose, but it has done little to curve the criticism from other candidates. >> i think every candidate should treat everyone else with stability and respect. >> it's not engaged on the war on women in saying things about megan kelly, one individual list. >> i'm andy rose reporting. >> donald trump is looking for a new campaign advisor this morning that he fired roger stone, accusing him of using the campaign for his own personal publicity. stone sees it differently, however, saying that he quit the job and turned in a letter of resignation. stone says he was unhappy about the direction of the campaign, and all these controversies that are surrounding donald trump. >>> protesters interrupt two speeches given by democratic presidential candidate bernie san

you can make the case economically it could be the providers or the network engineers, sort of the ericsonsr the verizons or the information experts that the googles and so on. and i think all are plausible and some combination there of. >> and in exploding technology and innovation, is we go through periods of chaos and try to organize it and then we have chaos and try to organize it. and you can see if you just look simply at the web, where google tried to organize it and then as it explodes, we start to move to other things that cure ate it and we have a constant cycle of explosions of information and curation that tries to apply order to that explosion. and so i think you want to look at whichever companies are trying to reate order. and that order might look like allegation, it might look like insights but it is into the chaos of unfolding. >> and you talked about it in your book. the network. who will create the network effect that drives the most value and locks up certain eco-syst eco-systems. >> and that is why there are focus on platforms. because platform businesses today are try

frustration about candidate trump and some who think eric ericson did the right thing by saying please stay away. alex? >> well, we have a couple more coming up jeb bush scott walker still to address that group today. thank you so much kelly o'donnell for that. let's get reaction. i'm joined by matt louis whose latest column appears online. matt, i'm going to reach out to you first as you heard these new remarks about megyn kelly and the disinvitation by eric erickson. where and how does this end? will it end before it does appreciable damage to the gop? >> that's a good question. the republicans had a good debate thursday night despite the fact donald trump was there. i think you saw the candidates -- that the field was much stronger than it was in 2012. i think it was a net plus for republicans but at some point donald trump, there will be a point of diminishing returns and if he stays in this thing forever, for a year or until we get to iowa and new hampshire that could do serious, serious damage. but i want to give kudos and credit to eric erickson. the conservative movement has be

eric ericson, good morning. >> good morning. >> there is a difference between a socialist and a democrat to be. i don't know that there is anymore. it's a relevant question because bernie sanders has been an open socialist in the u.s. senate, but he's running as a democrat for president. so there is a difference, but i don't know that there is a difference anymore. >> do you think the reason she was reluctant and just kept deflecting was because she didn't want to anger bernie's 10% oar whatever he's got? >> i think so. most americans don't really care for open socialists, and she can't say well, there's no difference between us and the socialists anymore. >> because. >> there is no difference between them. democrats used to maintain a distinction with capitalism, and they supported capitalism, now it's more governments should control means and ends of production which is more socialist than the democratic party that they are. >> it does seem to many like the line between democrat and socialist, given the way the democratic party has progressed, it's invisible now. >> deeply free markets
