‘Hey Huma, what’s up?’: Kellyanne Conway recalls ‘David…Goliath’ moment when Hillary conceded
World Tribune ^ | 3/19/2017 | Staff

Posted on 03/20/2017 6:25:50 AM PDT by simpson96

In the early morning hours after a long election night, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said she received a call from the Clinton campaign that Team Hillary only a day earlier seemed confident would never happen.

“I look down – literally it was like a movie – my phone is ringing and it said “Huma Abedin” [Clinton’s longtime aide]. And I said, “Hey, Huma. What’s up?” Conway recalled during a talk at the National Review Institute’s Ideas Summit in Washington on March 17.

Kellyanne Conway

“And she’s absolutely lovely, she really is. And she’s like ‘Hi Kellyanne, Secretary Clinton would like to speak to Mr. Trump.’ ” And I said, “Now?” And she said, “Is he available?” And I said, “We’re very available!”

“And I handed [Trump] the phone. My husband took a screenshot of that – at 2:30 a.m. I handed him the phone and he and Vice President Pence and their wives were there and the rest is history.

“So that was just really a remarkable moment and I think it was a remarkable moment for anybody, any David fighting a Goliath, frankly,” Conway said.

President Donald Trump’s campaign manager, now a top adviser in the new administration, said that the night before the election, she and Clinton’s team spoke over email about when the concession call would happen.

“Robby Mook (Clinton’s campaign manager) had agreed the night before through an email to me that within 15 minutes of the AP calling the race for Secretary Clinton, they would wait 15 minutes and then she would take to the podium and declare victory,” Conway said.

“So he was basically saying that you have 15 minutes for Mr. Trump to get out there [and give a concession speech] or she’s going to declare victory either way.

“And then he

I often flip thru my cable and for some reason I have Showtime network as part of the package. They continually replay the Showtime series, The Circus which is a reality series on the 2016 campaign. My favorite episode is the last one where Trump wins. Up until the very last 15 minutes, Mark Haleprin and Dan Heilman are convinced of Hillary’s victory. I still cannot get enough of watching their stunned faces as the election is called for Trump. It is the most compelling TV!

my phone is ringing and it said “Huma Abedin” . . . “And she’s absolutely lovely, she really is.

Hillary thinks Huma is lovely, and now Kellyanne says Huma is lovely. The only person who disagrees is Huma's husband. Thank God for Weiner!

Perhaps President Trump would have won without Weiner's bonus October Surprise scandal keeping the focus on Hillary's sleaze and lies for the final weekend of the election. Still, Anthony Weiner's added exposure certainly didn't hurt. He may have single-handedly saved America with his interest in yet another underage girl.

“Why did KC have Huma’s name in her contacts anyway? ;)”

I wondered that too.

Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer?

Have all relevant info immediately available on anyone who might call? especially if “who’s this?” would be problematic?

Kellyanne Conway: “Huma Abedin is lovely.”

The American Left: “Kellyanne Conway is a stupid slut.”

See the difference??

“Hi Kellyanne, Secretary Clinton would like to speak to Mr. Trump.”

Clinton wasn’t secretary of anything at that point. She was just “Mrs. Clinton”, but she kept insisting people use it like it was some hereditary title of nobility, or a military rank that she had earned. Cabinet members do not keep that title when they leave office.

Just one more reason the b**** lost.

No, they can keep the title “the honorable”, but they are no longer a Secretary once they leave office, so they aren’t supposed to use the title (unless you want to call them “former Secretary”). Nobody ever refers to Kissinger as “Secretary Kissinger”, for example, he is just “Henry Kissinger”, “Mr. Kissinger”, etc.

Hillary just decided she would keep using it and nobody called her out on it.

I love being reminded of Hillary’s loss.

It was much more than a simple routine loss.

It was the utter destruction of a political war campaign waged by an enemy domestic for over 30 years, involving thousands of operatives in hundreds of locations, and spending of hundreds of millions of dollars, all manipulated by Hillary and funded by foreign countries and the Soros international machine.

Most would think that, that should have put a period to the loser's treasonous ambitions forever.

That it hasn't, just raises a red flag that the treasonous monsters are not quite dead; or at the very least not conclusively convinced.

Believe me, I know, which is why I like to be reminded, like pinching myself to make sure we really did avert this crisis.

For life. Really. Titles of high government officials and judges become honorifics.

Although true, that most definitely does NOT include using honorifics when referring to oneself.

THAT is not only total lack of class on any level, but much more so when involving a conversation of world wide interest among actual world statesmen of historic status.

Which most definitely does NOT include anything touched by ANY Clinton, past, present or future.
