Clinton and Trump aides clash at Harvard forum | MSNBC

At a Harvard forum held after each election with aides from each campaign, Clinton & Trump aides got especially heated while discussing Steve Bannon

I strongly disagree with the panel there that the Trump campaign people came there to "gloat", and the poor Clinton campaign were only there to "defend her honor".... But we all know that MSLSD is full of **** when it comes to balanced journalism....

There are many instances in these pages here at DP where people are asked to back up their claims that Bannon, and by proxy Trump are racists, and can not provide solid evidence of such...So, sour grapes? still?

What say you?

I'm not even going to bother with the link because MSNBC and HARVARD's anti-Trump bias is so strong it'll have it's own gravity well. I stopped 30 seconds into the discussion because Andrea Mitchell was the moderator. What does Alex Jones, Breitbart, or The DailyCaller have to say about the incident and comment on what happened base on that.

LOL, Well here is CNN's link....I know not much better...

Insults fly at Harvard when Trump, Clinton aides meet - CNNPolitics.com

Google is not showing anything from FNC, or any of the sites you asked about....
 
If you call people rotten names in a political campaign, they generally don't vote for you. Stunning revelation, I know. It's also stunning that these Clinton aides are so ****ing stupid that they can't figure this out.
 
I heard someone this morning on the shows contemplating how the disagreements, and vitriol among the parties today has gone into the "moral" rather than the "policy" and how dangerous that was....

I say the Leftists are being some big ass cry babies. Just more proof they have no business running the country.
 
The whining is incredibly repulsive... blaming it on unfair media coverage and sexism???? Aren't you guys the ones who essentially tried to capitalize on that fact that she would be the first woman president? That people should vote for her BECAUSE she is a woman?

How can people like this live with themselves...
 
From Slate:

During the historically civil forum, which is held every four years dating back to 1972, Clinton staffers accused the Trump campaign, and its chief executive Steve Bannon, of peddling racism to the American people. “If providing a platform for white supremacists makes me a brilliant tactician, I am proud to have lost,” Clinton communications director Jennifer Palmieri said. “I would rather lose than win the way you guys did.” Top Trump and Clinton aides clash at historically civil post-election forum at Harvard.

So right there, the gauntlet was thrown down.

From Bloomberg:

“Do you think I ran a campaign where white supremacists had a platform?" Conway fired back. "You going look me in the face and tell me that?”

Conway said Clinton lost because people simply didn’t like her and she offered up no viable plan to strengthen the U.S. economy for middle-class Americans. “How about it’s Hillary Clinton? She doesn’t connect with people. How about they have nothing in common with her? How about you had no economic message.” Trump and Clinton Campaign Aides Clash at Harvard Forum - Bloomberg Politics

I'm sure somebody was saying that, but the reason to vote for her is that she was the experienced and qualified candidate.

Is that really a debatable thing? Trump ran a racist campaign and is now surrounding himself with blatant racists.

And I counter that James Buchanon was the most experienced president in history and also the worst president in history. John McCain was more experienced than Barack Obama and you see how that turned out. If the quality of the experience is absolute garbage then there's no point in touting it as some sort of merit. The world fell apart with her as SoS. That's her experience. And if the reports are true of the forum then the HILLARY advisers are still trying to rely on identity politics instead of acknowledging that she had no message worth fighting for other than "vote for me because I'm a woman".

"Racists" that will improve the economy and bring jobs back to America.

I wish it was a real clash, like swords being pulled and limbs being dismembered. That would be something to report on.

So you vote for whoever is the most experienced and qualified candidate?

I for sure don't, like for example in Hillary's case, her experience is more of a negative than it is a positive.

I didn't find it racist... but it is quite convenient for the opposition to claim it so.

Insensitive at times? yes... never racist though.

Yep. Somebody was saying that and a whole lot more. It was Hillary Clinton. If you're in doubt, I'll happily supply a profusion of links.

They will stay in denial. They will continue to fail. Clinton went into hiding. She did 7 rallies in September and October. She stepped it up a little in November but not by much. Trump did 7 campaigns in one day in November. Trump campaigned relentlessly for months. I want the one that is willing to work hard for it. She was disappointed when she had to get serious about campaigning because she couldn't take naps.
'No more naps,' says Clinton as she hits the road in a dash through swing states | Daily Mail Online

Conway sounds like a great strategist:
“Do you think you could have just had a decent message for white working-class voters?” Conway asked the Clinton team, then sarcastically offering a message: “How about, it’s Hillary Clinton, she doesn’t connect with people? How about, they have nothing in common with her? How about, she doesn’t have an economic message?”
Conway, who took increasing control of the Trump
campaign over the summer, said that she prevailed upon Trump to play “the happy warrior” and encouraged him to draw energy from his public rallies. That, she said, contrasted with the public image of Clinton.

“I said to Mr. Trump, ‘You know, you’re running against one of the most joyless presidential candidates in history,’ ” Conway said.

Conway told the audience her campaign mission as Trump’s manager was to focus on a dozen or so swing states where, despite political analysts’ admonitions of demographic disadvantages, she thought Republicans could still win.

“The race was about 12 or 14 states,” Conway said.

Yes, that is what a responsible voter does, especially when the more qualified and experienced candidate is also the more ethical candidate. Normal people expect to pay a price for bringing their car in to the mechanic who has zero experience and a history of scamming his customers, yet people's critical thinking skills go out the door when it comes to politics, a phenomenon I still have yet to understand.

I don't care who was saying it. The fact that she was experienced, qualified and more ethical is sufficient reason.

Experienced in what? Failure is her experience, along with lies, coverups and just plan stupidity.

If that were the case, McCain was without question the clear choice over Obama, hands-down, no argument. Not even the same sport, let alone the same league.

I trust, then, that your vote went to McCain?

Now you throw in ethical, with all her lies and coverups.
