Confident Trump Campaign Halts Weekly Meetings With Manager
Virginia Beach, VA — On the air with CBN correspondent Jenna Browder, Donald Trump’s campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said that the campaign is going so well that Trump has pushed the next of their regularly-scheduled planning sessions — originally slated for Wednesday, October 26th — back until November 9th, with next week’s planned meeting moved to November 16th.
“Ever since Donald hired me back in July, we’ve met like clockwork once a week, almost every week,” Conway told Browder. “At least once every month. His time, it’s so valuable, you know? He’s out there fighting for the American people at his golf courses and his hotels and his rallies, but almost every Wednesday he sets aside thirty minutes for me to touch base, give him some pointers, and just sort of casually rap about the direction of the campaign. Which has been great! I’m sure many campaign managers would kill to have the kind of exclusive, often face-to-face and sometimes one-on-one access that I get in what I think of as our Wednesday jam sessions.”
“And does Donald listen, when you talk?” Crowder asked her.
“Mostly he talks, and I listen and nod, because I think what he really needs is affirmation that he’s being heard, but if I’m patient and alert, I can sometimes get a chance to slip in an important message,” Conway replied. “For instance, yesterday, before I realized he wasn’t coming — he’s usually ten, twenty minutes late, so I didn’t think anything of it until we got down to the last five minutes of the window — I was ready to tell him that he needs to not say that thing about ‘inner cities’ on the campaign trail, it’s not helping him at all. But that he shouldn’t say the other thing, either! Donald, if you’re watching this, don’t say the other word instead. It’s worse!”
Browder asked Conway if she had a lot of success communicating with her candidate in this fashion. Conway replied that it was “a bit like faith,” in that she couldn’t always see the results of her work but she trusted it was there. She then admitted that she did not see this particular attempt as likely to pay off, as Trump has not to her knowledge ever watched the Christian Broadcasting Network.
“Still,” she concluded. “You have to try. That’s what he’s promising to pay me fork, right?”
Browder then asked the seasoned pollster to confirm that she did not expect to see Trump at all until after the election.
“Well, I’ll be seeing him on TV, of course,” Conway hedged. “But this is normal, isn’t it? I mean, right? I’ve never ran a presidential campaign. I assume this is normal, for campaigns in the homestretch… someone would tell me if this wasn’t normal, wouldn’t they? It’s a good sign, that he’s outgrowing me. It’s got to be a good thing, because everything Donald does is good. Right?”
An increasingly agitated Conway then gazed off into the middle distance until Crowder awkwardly ended the segment.
