Kellaynne Conjob never ceases to amaze me with her ability to dishonestly spin even the most negative things about her boss into a seeming positive, all the time keeping that syrupy smirk plastered on her face. After tonight’s debate, she was confronted with the fact that 57% of the viewers thought Clinton won compared with only 37% for Trump. Most people would consider this a lopsided Clinton victory.
But not Conjob! Instead, she homed in on another statistic showing that, even though most people lost the debate, 63% thought he did better than expected, while only 34% thought Clinton did better than expected. To Conjob, this proved that Trump was the winner and that Hillary was not well- prepared for the debate.
She proceeded from there to talk about Trump’s victory as if it were an established fact. At the very end of the interview, after she once again referenced Trump’s great win, she was reminded of the 57%-37% margin in favor Clinton. Her smirking response: “I saw a different debate”. Yes, Kellyanne, clearly, you did.
Update — Another thing I forgot to mention is that Conway tried to brush off the idea that Trump boasted about sexual assault with the excuse that he never used the word “sexual assault”. It was hard to imagine her getting any more slimy and dishonest than she already was, but she managed to accomplish it.
