is moving it s outpacing all of his predecessors for the last 40 years. to be around donald trump as you know, having known him for a number of years, is to be around a man of boundless energy from literally the day after the election. historical election where he won 30 out of 50 states, more counties than any candidate on our side since ronald reagan. we went right to work. my job, chairing the transition, has been to bring together the broadest range of men and women with diverse backgrounds for him to be able to choose these key positions. he has chosen over a dozen senior positions. even before the end of november. with regard to secretary of state, we have been winnowing the list. it might grow a little bit. i think to talk to the president-elect is to know he is simply looking for the best men and women to advance the agenda that we know will make america great again. it does seem you heard early names and it keeps broadening out. what is it about the current field that he
joel hit on something that s absolutely correct but wasn t done by his campaign. you have to show up where the people are. you just can t you can t just have a flood of advertisements and this vaunted ground game that didn t work. you have to go where the people are. secretary clinton took off a lot in august. we had 137 events to her 88 or so events after these conventions. donald trump did not take five days off before that final debate on october 19th in las vegas. secretary clinton did. everybody said, she s so brilliant to take off five days. voters said, where are you? come to me. bring the message here. he will be a very active president. he will go to every nook and cranny of this country. he will be the president to all americans. it s time for those who lost to say he is their president, too. kellyanne conway, joel benenson, you are correct, neither one of you yelled at each other. very respectful and good. this is the full jersey. we are jersey guys and gals.
losers as well. what s typically a thoughtful and reflective forum soon turned hostile as tensions ran high in both of the general election campaigns. clinton communications director accused breitbart run by steve bannon of promoting racist views. he is providing a a platform for white supremacists makes him a brilliant tactician, i am glad to have lost you think that i ran a campaign where the white supremists had a platform. you are going to be looking me in the face and say it did? it did. trump campaign manager kellyanne conway took issue with joel benenson for bringing up clinton s popular vote lead. the fact of the matter is that more americans voted for hillary clinton than donald trump and so put it in total con t context. there is nothing that said that the road to popular vote is that is what i premised the statement by saying that. and you cannot hey, guys, we won and you don t have to respond. well, kellyanne conway and
i chinese government is very upset about this. do they have a right to be? do you tell them, back down. you are over worrying? what is your advice to your counterparts to china? i think i would say to our counterparts in china that this was a moment of courtesy. the president-elect talked to the president two weeks ago in the same manner. it was not a discussion about policy. we will be preparing, after january 20th, to advance what will be president-elect president trump s agenda. have you or the team or president-elect trump reached out to the chinese government since this bubbled up? not to my knowledge. should we expect a call this week to calm the waters? chuck, i wouldn t you know, i wouldn t expect so. to be honest with you, the waters here seem like a little bit of a tempest in a tea pot. it s striking that president obama would reach out to a murdering dictator in cuba and be hailed as a hero and president-elect trump takes a courtesy call from a democratically
the biggest tax cuts. twice as big as the bush tax cuts, and i don t think that people think that is what is going to help them, but that is the high bar he has the clear. kellyanne, he went on this thank you tour. he will continue it on states he won. does he have a plan do you give list advice i asked you this before and you haven t answered it to go to states but meet with voters who didn t vote for him? he is down in the popular vote. say what you want. we are a divided country, and the california vote counts as much as the pennsylvania vote. considering how divided we are, does he have plans to do that. he does. i have answered this many times. he started saying i will be the president for all americans even those who did not support me. he is not even inaugurated and he is going around doing this, bringing keeping jobs in the country through carrier. he will be a very actively traveled president.
