For some time now, Donald Trumps advisers have sought to explain why hes trailing Hillary Clinton in the polls by arguing that theres a sizable group of people out there who will vote for him on election day but are too embarrassed to admit this to pollsters. Putting aside what that would say about Trump even if it were true, professional pollsters have treated the idea with skepticism.
But now new senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway has taken this theory to a new level in an interview with a British TV station. The interview has quite a few nuggets that are worth dwelling on, not simply for their entertainment value, but for the real insights they offer into how the Trump campaign views the race right now.
CNN has a transcript of the interview. The first claim features Conway explaining why there is this hidden Trump vote in a way I have not seen before:
Its become socially desirable especially if youre a college-educated person in the United States of America to say that youre against Donald Trump.
The hidden Trump vote in this country is a very significant proposition, she said.
