Kellyanne 'Clueless' Conway - a perfect match for Trump

From With All Due Respect on Bloomberg TV 8/12




MARK HALPERIN: Oh, then you'll win probably.

KELLYANNE CONWAY: We could win because nobody's talking enough about Gary Johnson. We see in the state-wide polls he's rising.

HALPERIN: And hurting her?

CONWAY: And he's hurting both of them. But look, Hillary Clinton will get 41, 42, 43 percent of the vote before she gets out of bed in the morning. The question is, How does she get to 51, 52 and stay there in these swing states? Gary Johnson helps and hurts in very unusual ways.

No state requires a candidate to win a majority of the votes cast in the general election in order to win its electoral votes - all are strictly plurality-required. In 1992 George H. W. Bush carried Arizona with 37% of the vote and Bill Clinton won Nevada likewise with 37%.

Five days after that interview, Trump picked this genius to be his campaign manager. Which pleases me no end, that Trump's campaign manager is someone who will feel that Trump is safe because Hillary's polling does not "get to 51, 52 and stay there in these swing states". The only thing that will please me more will be when Trump returns to being his own campaign manager, because Donald is even stupider than Kellyanne.

of the vote.

This is not an effort to win the election for Trump.

This is an effort to de-legitimize Hillary as President.
