Our campaign lost the election. But Trump’s team must own up to how he won. (More nonsense)
The Washington Post's Post Partisan ^ | December 7, 2016 | Jennifer Palmieri, Clinton Communications Director

Posted on 12/08/2016 2:30:46 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

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.

“It did. Kellyanne, it did,” I told her. It’s just a fact. Trump winning the election doesn’t change that. To my mind, his win makes it all the more important that the truth be acknowledged....

When did the losers get the right to make demands of the winners?

Another post earlier today said the Comments section was worth a click, for anti-Palmieri humor. (I’m saving it for later.)

“But “I” decided this was a year where normal rules don’t apply.”

They don’t even realize their elitism.

a) They actually believe most of Trump’s voters are white supremacists (hence, the losing will continue)
b) WaPo is printing fake news
PICK ONE

I guess the author is not aware that a LOT of blacks and Hispanics voted for Trump probably for the very same reasons whites did. We’re all sick of the progressive leftists Anti-American BS and their destruction of this great country.

the witch lost because she was too elite to bother with the little people...

too self assured by her ass worshipping groupies to get out and campaign...

same old anti white, anti American..anti regular people campaign when she did say anything...

she cheated at debates, conspired with media...

meanwhile, all the Trump did was campaign night and day, every single day, in several cities...

He gave on point fierce speeches...

he travelled from one large rally to the next with ease, and his faithful minions waited and waited in line for him....

Trump wasn't going to take no for an answer....

Well if you people had two brain cells to rub together, you would probably figure out who your candidate was and is, a liar, crook, thief, traitor not only to America but to all the World...

I am really surprised that all these foreign countries haven’t come after the Clintons for the millions they gave to them, for what? They have nothing, absolutely nothing, and when the Clintons are tried in a Court of Law for all their crimes, these foreign countries are going to have egg all over their faces for believing in such insanity as to get into to bed with the Clintons or anyone associated with them...

Where have all these idiots been for the past 30-something years while Trump was earning his millions? In NYC, no less, the belly of the liberal beast?!? Not a peep.
No one with a scintilla of intellectual honesty can pretend all this hand-wringing and accusation is anything more than political theater. Just SHUT UP already.

Ugh.

If you read the WikiLeaks emails of this person you would more fully understand how intellectually unarmed she is. It’s hard to understand how someone like Palmieri (and to be fair she is not the only one) could get into a such a high position.

With people like this on your team, well let’s just say, Clinton was more handicapped than it seems on the surface.

"I don’t know whether the Trump campaign needed to give a platform to white supremacists to win. But the campaign clearly did, and it had the effect of empowering the white-nationalist movement."

She cannot cope with the idea that so many voters chose Trump because he wasn't clinton.

What! She stole the election from Bernie. Planned a really nice October surprise. Got questions before the debates. Told the press what to write, and what questions to ask. And she still lost? Must be that Trump pulled the racism card. That’s why 85,000 voters in Michigan voted a straight democrat ticket except for one office, President.

I saw a youtube video of the results.

Compared to Romney, Trump had an increase in the following voters:

Blacks
Hispanics
Asian
Women
Poor People

The first four groups were increases on the order of 2 to 5 percent iirc. It was an increase of something like 13% with the poor people though!

Regardless - if it weren’t for the increase in minorities voting for him, Trump probably wouldn’t have won.
