Donald Trump's campaign manager insists the 'undercover Trump voter' will power Trump to victory

Donald Trump's new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway is confident there are more people voting for Trump than polls would suggest — they just don't want to admit it. In an interview with the UK's Channel 4, Conway explained why the polls, which overwhelmingly show Trump lagging behind rival Hillary Clinton, don't tell the whole story. "Donald Trump performs consistently better in online polling where a human being is not talking to another human being about what he or she may do in the election," Conway said. "It's because it's become socially desirable, especially if you're a college-educated person in the United States of America, to say that you're against Donald Trump."

When asked if she had any numbers to support that claim, Conway demurred, saying it's "a project we're doing internally" and that she can't yet discuss the details. "I call it the 'undercover Trump voter,'" Conway said, "but it's real."

Head over to Mediaite to watch Conway explain her theory on Channel 4.

basically, "you know you can't get away with being a bigot in polite society, but in the privacy of the voting booth, go for it! no one will know!"


at no point does anyone in the media suggest, hey, if your views are frowned upon in public, *maybe you should rethink them*....

The Trump people that includes many of my relatives, are very vocal. I have made a decision today to not read any of their rants and lies about Hillary and how wonderful Trump is. From now on I will just pass by all of their posts. I did respond to some in the past but no more. They are all crazy. Nobody hides their love of the Trump.
