Trump and Clinton campaign aides clash at Harvard forum
She added: “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did”.
“Well he’s President-elect so that’s presidential behavior yes”, she said about the tweet. After a shaky first debate, he said, Mr. Trump only got better and needed less preparation. ‘”Why don’t we find a way to be the happy warrior?”‘
There were several tense moments during the discussion, which was hosted by CNN’s Jake Tapper.
Tensions between the Clinton and Trump campaigns reached a fever pitch on Thursday night – when a shouting match broke out between their top aides at a post-election forum on the 2016 presidential campaign. Republicans are the dominant political force in the country, while Democrats are a coastal party fraught with snobs.

“They peddled a lot of stories on that website which were just false”, said Mook.
The big question moderators wanted to know: What happened in the last 10 days leading up to Mr. Trump’s stunning victory? Chief strategist for Clinton, Joel Benenson, accused the Trump team of “dog whistles”, telling them to “look at your rallies”.
Mook returned to the Comey letter repeatedly during his appearance, blaming it for undecided voters breaking for Trump. She added: “They see Donald Trump as their standard-bearer”.
“I’d also like to publicly thank Bernie Sanders for his effect on our campaign because he softened up Hillary Clinton”, Conway said.
Conway fired back, saying, “Do you think I ran a campaign where white supremacists had a platform?”
David Bossie: It’s ridiculous and to be candid with you the guy is an unbelievably brilliant strategist who is really a terrific guy who, as Kellyanne just said, a guy who has a Harvard pedigree and is getting attacked by people who have no idea who he is…
Both camps complained about the media.
“The media had no idea what we did until we told them – and that’s the beauty of it”, said Trump digital director Brad Parscale.
“Is that the playbook you used on taxes?” asked campaign manager Robby Mook, citing Trump’s decision not to release his tax returns.
“The campaign’s over, it’s time to move on”.
He also said the “drip” feed of hacked emails from Wikileaks which had been stolen from Clinton’s inner circle did not help her chances.
But Mook said the Clinton campaign never took a win as a forgone conclusion.
“The largest super PAC, called the media”, sneered campaign Digital Director Brad Parscale.
Trump’s aides defended his controversial statements, including his recent comments about criminalizing flag-burning, a Muslim travel ban and his racial comments about a federal judge overseeing class-action lawsuits against Trump University.
“We can’t just simply let this go”, Chaffetz said in an interview on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” on November 30.
Three weeks removed from the 2016 election of Donald Trump and emotions are still running on overload over the outcome.
“Hey guys, we won”, Conway said.
“That claim is groundless”, Stephanopoulos told Conway. He cited the proposed Muslim ban, which Lewandowski said took days’ worth of deliberations and careful staging for it to be announced on a decommissioned aircraft carrier in SC.
Conway went on to argue that any criticism of Trump or Bannon’s views or rhetoric on race were either untrue or sour grapes from the losing side.
For Mook, the realization came on election night as results came in from Florida and North Carolina. And we – we saw that, I think anybody looking at the race saw that.
“One thing that was missed all along in this election, is something which we noticed early on, which is there’s a difference to voters between what offends you and what affects you”, said Conway.
