Our campaign lost the election. But Trump’s team must own up to how he won

I know how to be a gracious loser.

I could have let it go last week when Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump’s campaign manager, challenged me to look her in the eye and say she ran a campaign that gave white supremacists a platform. I considered for a split second. I knew you were supposed to be gracious when you come for the post-election forum at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. But I decided this was a year where normal rules don’t apply. Speaking the truth was more important.

The chances Jen would know the truth if it hit between the eyes are very, very, very, small.

Trump probably asked himself, "I need 270 electoral votes to win -- how can I get there most efficiently?"

Who knows WHAT Clinton thought, but she spent $12 for every vote she received versus $5 spent by Trump. She never visited Wisconsin even once, but she may have spent $2 million on ads in Texas.

Unappealing candidate with an incompetently run campaign. It's fairly simple.

Democrats are ugly on the inside AND outside.

Which can first? The ugly went to be Democrats or being Democrats made them ugly?? Chicken and Egg question.

Katie Tur would approve the way the Compost and Clinton’s butthurt minion filtered opinion as fact.
Podesta e-mails proved that the NY Slimes did the same kind of damage control for Dear Leader when the book “Clinton Cash” came out.
The MSM can’t spin for themselves. Their nature just shines through.

Hey, Jen, my gummy pink eraser has been overused the past 8 years. Suggest you stop with the BS and Big Lies or I’ll be forced to do something desperate. Demand you wear the dunce hat and sit quietly in the corner.

The seven-letter, two-word response that sprang immediately to mind will not besmirch these FR pages.

But we all know the phrase, I’m sure.

Trump didn’t enable, create or bring out any white supremacists, the dems did.

All the years of being blamed for every bad thing, being called racist, entitled, white devils, privileged, slave holders (or descendant’s of). The dems set this all up by all the lies, straw man arguments of gloom and doom and non-stop cries of WOLF!

All us white devils (who really just want to be left alone) have had ENOUGH!

JMHO

‘Racism’ failed them utterly and miserably in 2016. It was the fool’s gold of the election.

But letting go of their favorite word in the English language is proving difficult, so they’ve moved on to ‘white supremacy.’ ‘White nationalism’ is also getting a trial run.

"I know how to be a gracious loser" ... but I'm a typical narcissistic Leftist, therefore the rules don't apply to me.

We know all about you from wikileaks, Jen. Drop the self righteous act.
