Didn't have full support of GoP infrastructure: Trump Campaign

As voting in the US elections came to a close in some states, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's campaign today rued that it did not had the full support of the party's infrastructure.

"The things that would worry me, I guess just that we didn't have the full support of the Republican infrastructure," Trump Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told MSNBC in an interview.

"When I say worry, it's just that it would really be too bad if we win narrowly and it's not because of the Democrats or this, that, or the other, it's because didn't have, we have former presidents not voting for us, we have former nominees not voting for us," she said.
 

Former Republican president George W Bush did not vote for Trump, same was the case with the former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and Senator John McCain, reports said.

The column on the ballot was left blank, Bush's spokesman said.

"That's got to hurt. When you talk about growing the party, the idea was growing it, but having that base together and I think it very unfortunate," she said in response to a question.

Conway asserted that Trump has six or seven paths to victory.

"The guy's a winner. He has been an incredibly self-made success story, real American success story. Then on the other hand, when he has had set backs in his business, he had taken chances, that he always come out on top. I think this is somebody who is nimble, is resilient," she said.

"You've seen that in this very campaign, where you know, folks at your networks and others were counting us out a number of times and wondering if we'd even stay in the race. And here we are competitive on election night, and we feel good about our prospects," she added.

She said Trump is a man who left the race the way he began.

"On his own terms, just taking that case to the people getting oxygen from these unbelievable crowds, and feeling like he had elevated a number of issues, like trade and immigration and patriotism, that otherwise may have been left on the table," Conway said.
