into san unprecedented shouting match at times at the traditional post-election forum held at the kennedy schoolhere. in the room, watching it all unfold, chicago sun times washington pure row chief, lynn sweet. you wrote this morning that the election is over, but not for the top trump and clinton advisors. talk to us about the mood in the room last night. >> well, it was electric. this is usually a very stayed academic for history type of conference where i've been going to these things after '04, this quadrennial post mortem, this was the rawest exchange just here's the picture, craig. you're in a big room with tables set up in a big square so people are facing each other and all four sides. and this conference started at the institute of politics on wednesday, and you had the campaign people -- some of who got into the exchange spoke at earlier sessions and ammicable, there was some gripe complaints about maybe who did what. there is a long running stream of how media didn't cover the campaigns properly, but then, there is a question about steve bannon being brought on to the trump campaign

the first wron i went to in my life was 1988 at the kennedy school of government. i came to watch. george h.w. bush's campaign ran a campaign to destroy mike dukakis. susanestrich on one side, and this kind of emotion. there's occasionally you get a campaign like that. where one side feels not only like they lost, lost surprisingly as with the case with dukakis who thought they had the election in the bag for many months, but lost in a way where they felt the other side played way outside the lines and ran a dirty and unprecedented campaign. i think that give everybody -- both sides -- the trump people who are spiking the football in an unpleasant way, the clinton people who are still obviously emotional and overwrought about it, give them a little time. it's not about denial, but the emotions are still so close to the surface people need more time to get to proper understanding of what took place. >> the comparisons are apt. the caucus people thought the bush people won in an illegitimate way. in this case, the passion within the clinton campaign of saying, there were dog whistles,

it's an attempt by the institute of politics, by the kennedy school to do a first draft of history andnd memories while they're still fresh. it's not a time to hash out emotional responses and anger. and so the bitterness that we saw by both clinton campaign officials and trump campaign officials was not in keeping with this event that's been going on information years. >> did either side seem satisfied at the end? regrets, disputes, political campaigns, losing campaigns especially can last a lifetime. but michael dukakis still talks about re dprets. but did anything get settled? >> no. there were points of agreement. they all hated us. they all hated the media. and they all thought polling was garbage. public polling, not their private internal polling. but that said, the clinton people, their basic response and posture is, we won the popular vote by more than 2.5 million votes. it's a fluke donald trump won the electoral vote. how can you argue we did anything wrong. they're very focused on what the fbi director james comey did in the letter he wrote just ten days before the election

meantime, it was a very tense night in cambridge at the harvard kennedy school of government. the leaders behind the trump campaign coming face to face with members of the clinton campaign. take a listen. >> and there was nothing that said the road to popular vote anywhere is -- >> kellyanne, i premised my but you can't then... >> guy, we won, you don't have to respond. seriously? >> very heated. there cnn will air the entire roundtable discussion over the weekend. in the newsroom, nancy chen, 7news "today in new england." >> christa: happening today, massachusetts state police will unveil a new drone. the drone will be able to be used to survey and photograph scenes as troopers investigate accidents on state highways. state police expect to eventually have a fleet of them. >> kris: a fan foul in a big-nameou luke bryant apparently going down and punching a fan. it happened at charity concert in nashville, tennessee. bryant stops performing and talks with someone in the audience and steps down into the front row and throws what appears to be a punch. the statement from bryan's

. >> how about the obvious bitterness from the clinton camp during the harvard kennedy school, the election post mortem earlier this week. i guess suggested it is because clinton camp has consisted of campaign professionals, embarrassed by losing to trump, going to go down in history as the team that lost to him. what is your sense of how they're processing the loss. >> they are a lot of them are in mourning right now. i've been hearing from a lot of them right now as my co-author john allen and i are writing the book. they're still racking their minds around how this went wrong and a lot of them are still -- excuse me, thinking about where this went wrong and, you know, was it comey, was it various -- was it analytics, other reasons, so i think right now you're hearing them sort of come to terms with that, and try to move forward. there is a lot of finger pointing going on. i think a lot of people wanted to take a different tact. and there is a lot of second guessing happening. so what we saw play out at harvard doesn't surprise me at all. i think there is still raw emotions, still stings

every four years at the kennedy school of government at harvard. this year, unprecedented. devolving into a shouting match between the trump and clinton campaigns as they sat across from each other. emotions are still raw. >> i would rather lose than win the way you guys did. >> no, you wouldn't. >> reporter: culminating in this exchange between jennifer pal palmerry and kellyanne conway. >> it did. >> reporter: steve bannan, the trump strategist, slammed by nationalists, the so-called alt-right. >> donald trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. >> hillary clinton had the courage top stand up. >> reporter: conway, accusing the clinton campaign of not having a message. >> do you think you could have had a decent message for the white working class people. it e's hillary clinton, they ha nothing in common with >> reporter: and when they talked about her lead in the popular vote. >> don't act like you have a popular mandate for your message. >> reporter: conway shot back. >> i can tell you're angry. #he'syourpresident. >> reporter: what the campaigns did agree o

their rights, one of my colleagues at the kennedy school likes to say there's two kinds of problems. there are technical problems and there are the gap problems. bigger things. and i think we need to have a more thorough discussion about the problems that are these systemic adaptive problems and i think all three of my colleagues here at the panel would say these are big problems. i would challenge that area the risk adjustment has gotten messed up because of political fighting in congress, but these are not systemic problems. these are fixable problems there was. i spent 13 years as a member of the masses use its legislature and i learned something in those years that we had joint committee of the house chair and had us in a cochair. when the senate cochair and i trust each other, the most difficult things could get done. but we didn't like each other, we couldn't schedule a hearing. we could agree on lunch. that is the problem, but it's not that there is a deep systemic failure of the exchanges going through a very rocky. right now because if we had a conference committee in time, w

analysis and reflection and peek behind the scenes that normally happens at this event at the harvard kennedy schooltute of politics. >> it's kind of a beginning chapter of a recording of history of the election. in your conversation with kellyanne and robby mook, jake, did robby talk about mistakes that he thought they made, or -- because a lot of what's come out of the forum, the symposium so far is about kind of the forces they believe were working against them, not necessarily any mistakes they had made. >> there was some acknowledgment of mistakes that were made but it seems clear that the clinton campaign largely blames fbi director james comey as well as russian intelligence for what happened. they think the comey letter was devastating to the campaign, ten days before the election. they think that the hacks into the dnc and the wikileaks were devastating to the campaign. they did acknowledge, robby mook did acknowledge when i pressed him that, you know, setting up the private e-mail server by hillary clinton was a mistake but he said it was one of the most overhyped media stories in history.

one of my colleagues at the kennedy school who likes to say there are two kinds of problems.there are technical problems and there are adaptive problems or system problems, bigger things. i think we need to have a more thorough discussion about the problems with the exchanges. are these technical problems or the systemic adaptive problems. i think it would be fair to say all three of my colleagues here would say these are big systemic problems. i would challenge that. i would give the example of alaska. alaska, this past summer saw their premiums and their individual market go up 42%. the alaska legislature, they said we can't let that happen so they got together, they created a state reinsurance program for their individual market, the exchange market and nonexchange and overnight the premium increases went from 42% down to 7%. california doesn't have a broken market, other states don't have a broken broken market, we had a good exchange structure with premiums under control in 2014, 15, and 16. it's going haywire in 17 because the 17 because the risk were doors in the reins

at the institute of politics at harvard university's kennedy school of government. the advisers looked one another squarely in the eye across a table as they argued about clinton winning the popular vote and trump the electoral college. >> it's hard to say we lost popular votes. >> there was nothing that said the road to popular vote anywhere -- >> kelly anne, i started, i premised my statement by saying that. >> we won seriously. why is there no mandate? you've lost 60 congressional seats since president obama got there. you've lost more than a dozen senators and governors. 1,000 state -- you re-elected a guy who represents san francisco as your leaders. nothing from this election. >> the forum, a civil academic exercise in most elections is intended to write a first draft of history of the campaign. amid the shouting, the conversation offered a window into why trump aides believe he won. despite a string of offensive comments. >> one thing miss all along in this election is something that we noticed early on, which is there's a difference to voters between what off
