. >>> another step closer to the white house today for donald trump, after the electoral college selecting him as the winner of the presidential election. it was texast him over the magic number of 270. now, there had been this long-shot push by trump critics to get electors to go rogue. that really didn't materialize in any significant way. joining me now is an elector from the state of michigan. jim rhodes. thanks so much for being with us. you said you received thousands of e-mails and probably hundreds of phone calls. >> i received probably over 90,000 e-mails. it kind of disrupted my business. you know, i'm a small business owner and you know, no threats, just rude people saying that, you know, trump is not experienced and doesn't know what he's doing, is not a politician. well, you know, what did barack obama do before he got elected? you know, at least you got a guy who is creating jobs and giving people work and who understands the economics of this country and the world. >> so, jim, i don't know if you've ever, an elector before, but did you anticipate this kind of reaction when you signed up to run? >> no. there hasn't been a republican el

texas did during the obama era. if there's a state from the trump era, it's unarguable that california would be that state. if california is going to fight the trump white housein court, that might will be brought by the california attorney general. and the attorney general he just had just won a u.s. senate seat. nobody would say that camilla harris would shrink from any fight, but she's off to a whole new arena. if not her, then who will defend california and their progressive policies? who will fight this fight for california but also make this stand. if it will be may in court, who will make the stand for the nation's future that california democrats say they intend to make. we have a best guess about that. joining us now is democratic congressman. he's just been nominated for the california state attorney general. he has accepted. he told reporters, if you want to take on a forward leaning state that's prepared to defend its rights and issue, then come at us. congressman becerra, thank you for being here. >> rachel, what a lead-in. >> does it strike you wrong? do you object at all to this idea that california might have a role vis-a-vis the trump adminis

house. >> i look at this election and -- republicans want to say, see, democrats have a white working class problem. i look at the popular vote thing and texas, and republicans have a latino problem. both things are correct. >> i think what democrats will likely conclude is the way they try to reach trump voters is the bernie sanders style economics. what i think they will have a harder time they need to make some nod to the cultural concerns of the voters. if the bill clinton were running this year, someone like colin kaepernick would have been ripe for a moment. you are a privileged person. the lead you can do is stand up during the national anthem. no democrat would say that except for bizarrely ruth bader ginsburg and she had to apologize. >> i have heard that from some other democrats who don't want that. they are afraid it would make the base angry by saying what rich just said, that bill clinton would figure out how to close this gap culturally. >> that's part of why particularly young people did not vote his wife. you cannot -- we cannot just follow the conservative southern strategy to try to split working class people who are white
