“You might get a congressional medal for that”, Tapper said.
Needless to say, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway disagreed. As an example, she flashed the final issue of the National Enquirer, essentially describing Clinton as a corrupt criminal who should be thrown in jail.
Tensions between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump’s campaign aides reached a boiling point at a post-election panel Thursday, The Washington Post reported. She also intimated that the problem with Hillary was her personality which the voters didn’t connect with. “But that’s okay, because we won”, Conway said. “I felt she could have done more earlier to put that to rest”.
Top officials from the Trump and Clinton campaigns clashed angrily Thursday over questions of mandates and alleged associations with white supremacists – leaving a conference created to draw lessons from the election turning at times into a shouting match over campaign tactics.

“Hey guys, we won”, Conway said at one point, challenging Clinton’s team to “accept the results of the election”.
Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, fumed: “Do you think I ran a campaign where white supremacists had a platform?”
Conway shot back: “Hey guys”. The high road did not lead to the Oval Office.
“President-elect Trump has denounced every single element of that terrible movement”, Conway said Friday. In it, Comey said that agents were looking into a new batch of emails to see if they were relevant to an investigation of her use of a private server while she was secretary of state.
Palmieri said her only strategic regret was not pushing for a fourth debate, arguing that Clinton was strongest when she faced off on a stage with Trump. “They are completely different”.
To win the GOP nomination, Trump vanquished a highly credentialed field of 16 other Republicans, some of whom were backed up by tens of millions of dollars in outside spending.
