Did Kellyanne Conway win the election for Trump?

[styil]

I feel like Kellyanne Conway's role in Trump's victory has been very understated. She not only did tremendous work on the campaign itself as campaign manager, but had a very high media presence.

I feel that her strong, energetic female presence really resonated with the general population whenever she made an appearance on TV, and her messages were concise, logical and really struck through the establishment spin that is often seen on the media.

All in all, I think Kellyanne Conway's presence and work got Trump over the line. What do you guys think?

[paralleluniverse]

No, Comey did.

[Zandalarian Paladin]

I think many people don't even know her, but her work is tremendous. I think that to work with a person like Trump require an outstanding amount of courage and determination.

[Paula Deen]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

No.

Trump won because of Electoral College BS. Thats it. His campaign was a disaster on par with Romney, even worse I think. I would argue that Kellyanne made it worse with her constant BS justifications. Not even the people I know who voted (R) think she was smart.

[jakeic]

No, Comey did.

yes, yes he did.

[schwarzkopf]

No. The US 'education' system did.

With Donald Trump's victory, Kellyanne Conway became the first female to run a winning U.S. presidential campaign.

Bravo for a job well done.

Haters are going to hate.

Maybe they're sexist.

[Tierbook]

No idea who she is. Trump won because he had the broadest message. Sure Clinton won in the Democratic strongholds as expected. But winning by 4 million in California isn't gonna help if your losing by a few hundred thousands in most other states.

Its only sexist or racist when the victim is a Democrat.

If they are Republican they are a traitor to their sex and race so its okay.

[Stormspellz]

Can't say what she did behind the scene but if she believes half of the stuff she did to spin things for Trump i'd be disturbed. But as the polls showed lead up to the election and was already mentioned, the FBI director playing politics had the single biggest impact.

[Sky High]

I think Comey and Clinton did that way more then her.

[Ragedaug]

I felt like Kellyanne was trying too hard to remember what Trump's current stance was. That is to say, she'd say "Trump believe x", then the reporter would say, "but Trump said y", then Kellyanne would spend the remainder of the interview back-peddling, obfuscating, not-answering, and finally attacking the interviewer.

It comes off as very insincere. Same reason I couldn't stand listening to any of Clinton's talking heads. Too much contradictory spin to keep in mind and remember in the face of easily challenged positions that its just perceived that we are being fed a pile of BS.

I would argue that Trump won despite Kellyanne Conway.

[Independent voter]

Republicans basically held their noses and voted for Trump en masse, she's part of the reason they did.

I think the FBI chief who reopened Hillary's email case days before the election had more to do with getting Trump elected.

[Garnier Fructis]

There's a certain irony in how the people who bring up identity politics on this forum are the people who are supposedly against it.

It's like, well nobody is trashing Conway for being a Republican woman but to be safe let's pretend they are so we can go ahead and poop on them.

"But emails!" is what won the election, not Conway. Lady was contradicting things Trump said mere hours before. Was a good day if they were actually on the same page.

That and Clinton being Clinton didn't help things either.

I don't think anyone could have done much better, honestly. I think she did the best she could.

[Miztickow]

She made sure he didn't lose.

[Dug]

She won the popular vote so she must not be that detestable but of course she didn't win where it mattered so not like it matters.
