that term was first coined 35 years ago when african-american tom bradley, by the polls, looked to be a shoo-in for california's governor. only he lost. some political scientists reasoned thereafter voters were saying yes to pollsters over the phone or in person, but when in the polling booth with nobody around, could not and did not vote for an african-american candidate. with donald trump, it could have been something similar. when asked by a pollster over the phone, donald trump supporters did not admit their support for trump. when in the voting booth with nobody around, they instead did vote for donald trump, a reverse bradley effect, if you will. we saw hint of this during the primaries. 538 found trump polled six percentage points lower on average in live interviews compared to digital polling where they didn't have to talk to anybody. perhaps why his surprise win in the primary and later in the general just days ago. voters sing one thing, but

did hillary clinton, did here face that dynamic that tom bradley did?ome not wanting to vote for a woman as president? >> i've been struggling with this for -- i'm the father of daughters -- been struggling with this for six days like the rest of us, five days. my own view is that it certainly played a factor, but secretary clinton had become by virtue of her 25 years in national political life, an emblem of the establishment that trump was running against. so my own gut, and it is gut because we've proven the data does interest have a hell of a lot to offer. my gut is that it was more about her experience, her seeming intractable place, intrinsic place in the eablishment that probably hurt her more than her gender. >> exit polls showing that hillary clinton lost in areas we actually thought she would do well in, minorities and women. why did women not support her in this case? as strongly as african-americans did for president obama? >> sure. i think identity politics were weaker. i think many women, and i know this, i teach at vanderbilt and universit

there listed is tom bradley, 31 to 45 minutes. this fluctuates. something tsa has been monitoring to make sure they can allocate different tsa officers to lines to expedite the lines. blake, you were talking about the cute, cuddly comfort dogs. we have one sleeping on the job here. this is eve. eve is lounging. this is what people need whether they are stressed about politics or seeing the family. that's chance. he's another crowd-pleaser. you see people are gathering around here. everybody trying to pet the dogs. i heard a woman a little bit earlier patting chance. she said, i feel like everything is better now. these dogs doing what they do best, offering comfort before people head into the lines. we are going out to jacob rascon. jacob is driving around in dallas. what's traffic like there? >> reporter: no comfort dogs here. we are in traffic here for the first time today. the traffic has been expected to pick up in the afternoon. that's when we thought it would be busy and it is. we are headed south on interstate 35 in dallas. a number was men

you go to wait times, and you see zero minutes, zero wins, tom bradley, et cetera. i also want to show you the hero of this holiday season, at least when it comes to the airports. that is chance the comfort dog. l.a.x. has 56 different comfort dogs around here and look, chance is like the most huggable dog there is. hey, chance. so chance's only job here is to lay around and offer comfort to people. he is hilike the most huggable y ever. does he reduce your stress when it comes to traveling? >> yes. well, i already miss my dogs. >> reporter: where are you headed? >> austin. sorry, houston. >> reporter: chance, we've seen people come over to chance and drop down and give him the biggest hug. they say, now i can deal with the lines but here the lines are not too bad. the worst that we've seen so far is 30 minutes. for the most part, they are about ten minutes long. >> i love chance the dog. it's the best. gadi, thanks so much. >>> for an update on the weather now, let's go to msnbc's bonnie schneider. it could be worse, right? >> absolutely. it could be a lot worse. i

most people in the state know about tom bradley -- the people, they said they would vote for bradley. then they underperformed. i think that is what people are afraid of. richard nixon -- california politics is the one that came up with this concept. the idea was that there was a silent white majority that would react negatively to all of the disruptions of the 1960s. we saw this in the 19 90s where you had the la uprising in 92. you had the o.j. simpson case in 94. then white voters came and went to the polls for prop 209 and prop 227. and then 187. the language -- to save our stage. those are the kind of electoral backlashes -- if there is any way donald trump has an entrance into this through a silent majority, it might be a negative backlash -- of the uprisings we have seen in places like ferguson, orlando, baton rouge, louisiana. minneapolis, minnesota. and baltimore, maryland. all of that disruption -- as we saw here in california, in the 90s, could drive a latent anxiety and racial resentment in the polls. >> we will see if that materializes. on the flipside, i suppose hillary

tom: fish and game reminding and now warning that a loon found fish and game says the bird was found on bradley lake by a construction crew working in the area. loons are a threatened species in the state, and 65% of loon deaths are caused by humans. fish and game says this is a critical time to protect loons as they are also being threatened by climate change. shelley: the town of exeter is known for its holiday light display, but this year an unexpected problem is threatening to keep the the lights off. for more than three decades, this is the site that has attracted people from all the town's holiday display of lighted garlands hanging from polls, trees, even town hall. a deked-out christmas tree in the bandstand at the heart of it all. >> this is the 30 year celebration. it is our 100th anniversary of the bandstand. shelley: this year, electrical code issues could pull the plug on this annual tradition. electric company unitil installed new poles over the summer, changing the overall within 40 inches of electrical lines. >> i don't think anyone wants to see the lights off, but we do have a

believe most of the bradley center staff will transfer to the new arena, which is set to open in the fall of 2018. a more seasonable-day -- but rain returns for tonight. weather expert tom wachs joins us now... coming up plus -- what's up with the water? why a plan to replace lead laterals in the city of milwaukee -- is being put on hold. and a contact six warning -- before you go shopping this holiday season. the recalled products you'll want to stay if you're a smokeless tobacco user in milwaukee-- you'll soon have to curb the urge until after the game. in a 14-to-1 vote today-- the milwaukee common council approved legislation that will ban smokeless tobacco use in sports venues like miller park. if you're caught "dipping" or "chewing"-- you'll first be given a warning. the second time you're caught-- you could be looking at a fine of up to 250 help replace lead laterals in 70- thousand milwaukee homes now --- it's been put on hold. some aldermen at this mornings meeting say not enough milwaukeeans are well informed on the ordinance and its impact. the ordinance would help residents cover the costs associated with replacing pipes. in the end the majority of the counc

bradley sin vevincen d.a. said, acted lawfully. we want to bring in laura coates and cnn senior law enforcement analyst and former fbi assistant director tom fuentes. danny, let me start with you. this case, as in so many we have seen involving police shootings, seems to turn on whether the officer believed he was in imminent danger. >> it actually centers on two inquiries. first, what was the reason for approaching mr. scott in the first place and secondly, the decision to shoot. those are separate, distinct inquiries. critical here is the determination that once, if the police saw number one, marijuana, and they saw him exit the car with a firearm in his hand, remember, this is an open carry state which creates a thorny issue. how do you decide someone who may be lawfully open carrying their weapon is committing a crime or dangerous? it really is problematic. and the question is, if you're holding a firearm by your side are you brandishing it such that it's dangerous? or did the police have reasonable suspicion to approach and initiate contact with this victim. the second issue is whether or not the shooting part was justified and if he

bradley on my far left. stafferformer senior for house majority leader eric cantor, and he also worked for roy blunt when he was the majority whip. coburn worked for tom when he was in the house. and one of the founders of rock solutions, former senior a or for harryd -- aid reid, the outgoing minority leader. and he also worked for mark pryor when he was in the senate. think you for being here. we have a lot of unanswered questions. i think for a lot of people the election took them by surprise as we have heard continuously. people are interested to know, who are some of the people that are going to be running things? who will be devising policy, making things happen on capitol hill? let's start with you neil. in the house, there were questions whether paul ryan would face a contested speaker election in june. what sort of challenges do you face as he ryan heads into the new congress? he struck a very conciliatory tone in his press conference. he seemed excited about rolling up the sleeves and getting going on policy. realistically, what are some of the challenges that the speaker will face in the congress? >> thanks, jason. i think some of the chall
