On the afternoon of November 8, 2016, Kellyanne Conway settled into her glass office at Trump Tower. Right up until the last weeks of the race, the campaign headquarters had remained a listless place. All that seemed to distinguish it from a corporate back office were a few posters with right-wing slogans.
Conway, the campaign’s manager, was in a remarkably buoyant mood, considering she was about to experience a resounding, if not cataclysmic, defeat. Donald Trump would lose the election — of this she was sure — but he would quite possibly hold the defeat to under six points. That was a substantial victory. As for the looming defeat itself, she shrugged it off: It was Reince Priebus’s fault, not hers.

You know they have totally lost their minds when they have to plagiarize a whole season of South Park to make a “hard-hitting” article like this.
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen: NYMag.com is basically reprising what poor Mr. Garrison was trying to do last season as he got into running for President as a joke and before he realized it, he was a contender. After that, he did his best to lose the election by saying the most outlandish shit and even selecting Bruce/Caitlin Jenner as running mate, but he won anyway.
I wonder if South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone would take it to court or just simply laugh it off.
Do you remember when the Media was respected? Me neither, I can’t think that far back anymore.
They predicted Brokeback Mountain in an early episode when the South Park Film Festival hosted a movie about gay cowboys eating pudding.
They predicted the rise of trans-racialsim and even trans-speciesism when Mr. Garrison got a sex change and Kyle got turned into a black boy and Jerald become a dolphin.
I don’t know what it says about America that South Park episodes that are over the top become reality in about 5 years time. Either that or I want to borrow their crystal ball to start looking up lottery numbers.
Regarding respect of the media — was it Walter Cronkite ?
It was sooooo obvious that Donald Trump expected to lose!
His whole campaign was just coasting that last week. They only had four to six campaign rallies every day. Compare and contrast to that Enrgizer Bunny called Hillary Clinton. She was out there having at least two campaign rallies most weeks! There were rumors she even campaigned once on a weekend!
Next thing you know, this “searing exposé” will be called Fake News.
People dont realize, Bernie Sanders was propped up as a joke. He was never supposed to get any traction. Just a clown to make the dnc primary look legit. Then his popularity exploded.
You think they would have learned after 2008, when Barack Obama beat Hillary?
A lot of people in the Democrat Party hate her with a passion, and preferred a forty something Freshman US Senator with no accomplishments, and a seventy four year old Communist that was not even a Democrat Party member.
I was amazed she came as close as she did in November 2016.
If you want to see what not wanting to win looks like, look at John McCain in 2008, Mitt Romney in 2012, and Hillary’s part time campaign in August-November 2016. Those were losing campaigns, and they looked like it.
Just so I have this straight……
He didn’t expect to win and could not have cared less about it.
But he “colluded” with the Rooooshians to attempt to influence the result of the election to ensure his victory.
WTF ???
