Kellyanne Conway: ‘Insane’ For Trump To Say He’d Accept Results Before Election

Conway has repeatedly cited a new media study that showed the 96 per cent of media contributions went to Hillary Clinton rather than Trump.

“He just wants a fair shot”, Conway told ABC’s Good Morning America.

But if that is the message Trump is trying to get across, isn’t it the candidate himself who’s missing the “larger point”?

Trump – without evidence – blamed the firebombing on Clinton supporters on Sunday night.

Conway also attacked Clinton over her family foundation’s acceptance of foreign contributions – but Tapper pointed out that those details are public because the Clinton Foundation has published lists of its donors, while Trump hasn’t released his tax returns. Donald Trump just faced a whole week of unfounded accusations, having to defend against him, or he says they’re fabrications and lies.

It all started because Trump said he’s not sure he’ll accept the election results come November 8, which quickly became the biggest story of the debate. I was involved in Mr. Trump’s vice presidential selection and vetting process and we didn’t do that, we were looking at individuals and who they are and what their record sand and their vision for this country.

Conway said the shortfall in polls is due to Clinton’s other advantages over Trump. “That’s not what happened in 2000, as we both know very well”. “You see some of the grand wizards…the grand poobahs of the party coming over and saying, ‘I support Donald Trump now'”. When Donald Trump would win the vote, he would basically win all the electoral votes in a state, and on the weekends, the Cruz campaign would go back and follow the rules and get back some of those delegates.

So-called “voter fraud” is the stated reason for every single one of the voter suppression measures Republicans forced through in recent years, and it’s the basic building block of Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories about the “stolen” 2016 presidential election.

When asked about his suggestion that he might not accept the result of the election, a serene Kellyanne was initally unequivocal about why he would accept the final vote.

In the same interview, Ruhle asked whether it’s fair for Trump to “mislead the American people” with rhetoric about a “rigged” election that isn’t actually rigged. You saw a strong debate performance last night.

Our path is Florida, Ohio, Iowa, North Carolina.

“We’re not giving up”, Conway said.
