Mook: Clinton Didn’t Need Obama’s Urging to Concede to Trump

The campaign managers for Republican President-elect Donald Trump and Democratic rival Hillary Clinton gave their behind-the-scenes perspectives at a forum at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.

Reaction to these exchanges on social media show the bitterness doesn’t stop at the top of these campaigns.

Since Trump’s shocking victory against Clinton on November 8, he has mostly been holed up in Trump Tower in New York City, working ferociously to assemble his transition team in time for his January 2017 inauguration.

He continued: “The Russian were propagating fake news through Facebook and other outlets, but look, we also had, and this is with all due respect to Kellyanne and her colleagues, look Steve Bannon ran Breitbart News, which was notorious for peddling stories like this”.

“It did, Kellyanne, it did”, said Palmieri.

Sanders – who was popular with millennial voters and working class white voters – was originally included on a list of possible vice presidential candidates.

Starting with President Clinton’s first off-year election in 1994 through 2016, Democrats have lost 69 House seats and find themselves at the lowest membership since 1929. Mook noted that the press often focused on how she delivered her message in a way that they would not have scrutinized a male candidate. He disputed the Trump team’s argument that his economic message led him to victory. Conway went on to blame Thursday night’s spat on the fact that the Clinton camp was still sore about losing. “You’re bitter.”. “Hashtag-he’s-your-president, how about that?”

At times both campaigns blamed the media. Bush is the only President to be elected without the popular vote to win re-election. “He won 22 states and 13 million voters, and that ain’t nothing”. “That’s why we lost”.

Clinton aide Robby Mook zeroed in Thursday on letters sent in the waning days of the campaign by Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey about his agency’s examination of Clinton’s email accounts as dealing a death blow to her campaign.

“Did you struggle to get that person from behind the scenes out into the crowd”, Tapper asked Clinton’s campaign manager.

Anderson Cooper Friday pressed Kellyanne Conway over her coy response to news that the president-elect broke a 37-year old us protocol to not recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country, informing the former Donald Trump campaign manager that “this is uncharted waters”.

Saturday’s court filing to withdraw the case said the Green Party-backed voters who filed the case “are regular citizens of ordinary means” and can not afford the $1 million bond ordered by the court by 5 p.m. Monday.

The former secretary of state believed that Kaine represented her “views and values” best. “She immediately explained that she regretted”, Mook added.

Clinton’s team said they didn’t regret their responses to Trump’s racist and sexist remarks, saying they were some of their proudest moments in the race. When Conway was pressed on whether the Trump administration may pursue prosecution against Clinton, Conway replied, “No, I’m not suggesting thatat all.That would be something I would notbe able to say”. And I don’t just mean her versus Bernie.

Trump’s team, meanwhile, defended their candidate and their campaign. He said he voted for Trump.

“This is the problem with the media”.

Donald Trump speaks at a rally in Phoenix, AZ in June. “The American people didn’t”.

Conway asked why Trump would not have a mandate given that he won the election.

Barry Bennett, the campaign manager for retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, said of voters: “What they wanted more than anything else was strength, and Donald Trump was supplying it every day”.

Clinton adviser Mandy Grunwald said the Trump campaign had operated in the world of “dark arts”. “There was a very impressive gassing of her”.

Benenson, meanwhile, served notice that the election may be over but that the battles it spawned are not. “That’s clear. You won the Electoral College”. “But let’s be honest”.

“It’s election law malpractice to not have your lawyers sitting around the table with Jill Stein’s lawyers”, said Adam Ambrogi, elections program director at the bipartisan Democracy Fund. You don’t have to respond.
