Kellyanne Conway and Bobby Mook will be holding a forum at the JFK School of Government at Harvard. I will be there.

| Poster for the event |
Kellyanne Conway joined the Trump campaign as its Campaign Manager and brought some order to it in the final two months. There was immediate change. Trump--at long last--began staying on message, a message that resonated with the public. He began using a teleprompter, mostly. He became more credible as a president, becoming more "presidential." He made the transition from media spectacle to candidate-spectacle.
Bobby Mook was the Campaign Manager for Hillary Clinton.
Both of them will be here at the JFK School Institute of Politics, interviewed by Jake Tapper, CNN newsman, in a live forum.

I am in Cambridge, Massachusetts attending events here at the JFK School and was on the signup list and I got the email I hoped to receive, telling me to show up to get my ticket.
What question should Kellyanne Conway be asked? I am on a short deadline: the forum will be Thusday evening at 6 p.m. Eastern Time. But send your emails or comments.
My tentative question:
 |
| Setting up the forum room with special lighting |
"At the beginning of the week Mr. Trump voiced indignation and outrage at the 'ridiculous' notion that the results of the close elections in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania might be questioned. How can you question the election. Then Mr. Trump tweeted that the entire election was full of fraud with three million fraudulent votes--which directly contradicted and undermined what he had just said. Did he not realize he was contradicting himself? Did he know, but think the media and public wouldn't notice? Did he change his mind? Does Mr. Trump think, as a master salesman, he can sell it both ways? How does Mr. Trump think?"
I welcome a better suggestion.

I would love you to ask Bobby Mook this: Knowing that lots of people would have voted for a Democrat, but disliked Hilliary so much that they felt compelled to vote for Trump, what did you do to try and soften her image and why do you think it didn't work?
Q for Mook: Unlike her campaign staff, Sec. Clinton (and her personal surrogates) repeatedly failed to impress me as a voter with more than rudimentary skills in operating smart phones, taking her campaign to social media, understanding increasing security concerns or even the desire to become more proficient as the years ticked over. I volunteer for the American Red Cross in rural Oregon where I meet people with a similar skill set among the rural citizenry whose use of smart phones, tablets and computers is limited due to low incomes and the expense of internet and data contracts, but also by employment and cultural bias in how these technologies are used. to my knowledge you published her policy goals on a website rather than repeatedly articulate them on the stump -- witness positive polling bounces after the debates. How many hits did her website generate, and were they sufficient to make you think you were getting to enough voters? Do you think we should in all conscience field another candidate who is unwilling to stay ahead of the curve in terms of personal use of technology (not as a pro but as a user)?
Q for Conway: Congratulations. What specific abilities does the president elect have that would reassure me he will not inadvertently plunge the nation into recession? How do you see his choices of staff as protecting our economic health?
Q for Conway: When is your book coming out?
