TOM BROKAW: And the other thing is that in the course of the campaign, [Trump has] said some things that were just blatantly not true. He's never been held accountable for it, so many of them, and the things that he's said. Having said all of that, he did touch a big nerve out there and he ran a campaign that no one at this table or in the political world expected him to do as well as he has. But all factors in life are about how do you adjust to the reality of where you are next, how you're going to deal with the next phase of this. And we're now in the next phase. And if he keeps punching out the people in his own party in the way that he has, I don't see how that's going to help him. I just don't.
