CNN Completely Ignores Republican Women in Senior Roles at the Trump Campaign

BALDWIN All right Let ░░░░░░░░ talk politics now in ░░░░░░░░ and the growing number ░░░░░░░░ power brokers this election ░░░░░░░░ who are women Marie ░░░░░░░░ magazine celebrates these women ░░░░░░░░ this new piece called ░░░░░░░░ President Makers It gives ░░░░░░░░ an insight look at ░░░░░░░░ lives on the campaign ░░░░░░░░ and a distinct perspective ░░░░░░░░ of these woman brings ░░░░░░░░ article makes clear these ░░░░░░░░ play to win Laura ░░░░░░░░ is the author of ░░░░░░░░ piece and she joins ░░░░░░░░ now to talk about ░░░░░░░░ women who are the ░░░░░░░░ makers So Laura it ░░░░░░░░ an awesome piece first ░░░░░░░░ foremost Thank you so ░░░░░░░░ Let me just read ░░░░░░░░ for everyone in case ░░░░░░░░ didn t realize Presidential ░░░░░░░░ used to be a ░░░░░░░░ club but now they ░░░░░░░░ filled with women like ░░░░░░░░ Smith An August survey ░░░░░░░░ Politico found that women ░░░░░░░░ the first time make ░░░░░░░░ more than half of ░░░░░░░░ senior staff on the ░░░░░░░░ of all of the ░░░░░░░░ polling candidates First can ░░░░░░░░ get just an amen ░░░░░░░░ Whew BALDWIN And second ░░░░░░░░ all kudos to some ░░░░░░░░ these men for bringing ░░░░░░░░ into the fold Why ░░░░░░░░ it taken so long ░░░░░░░░ you think BASSETT Well ░░░░░░░░ has been a boys ░░░░░░░░ forever We ve never ░░░░░░░░ a woman president before ░░░░░░░░ s a reason for ░░░░░░░░ Congress has been full ░░░░░░░░ men for as long ░░░░░░░░ we know I talked ░░░░░░░░ Liz Smith who works ░░░░░░░░ Pete Buttigieg she s ░░░░░░░░ of the people I ░░░░░░░░ in this piece She ░░░░░░░░ when I was growing ░░░░░░░░ I was obsessed with ░░░░░░░░ and this is what ░░░░░░░░ always wanted to do ░░░░░░░░ wanted to work on ░░░░░░░░ But all I saw ░░░░░░░░ George Stephanopoulos the James ░░░░░░░░ sort of a candidate ░░░░░░░░ the rakish men around ░░░░░░░░ that kind of made ░░░░░░░░ happen And so it ░░░░░░░░ only now this is ░░░░░░░░ your grandmother s presidential ░░░░░░░░ I think politicians are ░░░░░░░░ that women get the ░░░░░░░░ done and I also ░░░░░░░░ that what s happening ░░░░░░░░ in this moment is ░░░░░░░░ women are really fired ░░░░░░░░ to get Trump out ░░░░░░░░ office More than men ░░░░░░░░ s what all the ░░░░░░░░ say And so there ░░░░░░░░ more women running for ░░░░░░░░ and there s more ░░░░░░░░ running presidential campaigns because ░░░░░░░░ re the ones that ░░░░░░░░ willing to drop everything ░░░░░░░░ have the most high ░░░░░░░░ job BALDWIN Sleep three ░░░░░░░░ a night Keep the ░░░░░░░░ phone under the pillow ░░░░░░░░ Have irregular meals Leave ░░░░░░░░ apartment their pet and ░░░░░░░░ try to get Trump ░░░░░░░░ of office That s ░░░░░░░░ they re trying to ░░░░░░░░ BALDWIN So it s ░░░░░░░░ awesome step forward but ░░░░░░░░ of the anecdotes in ░░░░░░░░ piece was that Julian ░░░░░░░░ s campaign manager who ░░░░░░░░ telling you some crazy ░░░░░░░░ about getting to an ░░░░░░░░ Somebody saying who are ░░░░░░░░ What was the story ░░░░░░░░ Maya Rupert is Julian ░░░░░░░░ s campaign manager She ░░░░░░░░ the third black woman ░░░░░░░░ to hold that position ░░░░░░░░ is really amazing She ░░░░░░░░ had some trouble with ░░░░░░░░ not believing that she ░░░░░░░░ in the role that ░░░░░░░░ s in So she ░░░░░░░░ she told me one ░░░░░░░░ A man was delivering ░░░░░░░░ to her San Antonio ░░░░░░░░ office and came up ░░░░░░░░ her and asked if ░░░░░░░░ was anyone who could ░░░░░░░░ for it She was ░░░░░░░░ yeah I ll sign ░░░░░░░░ And he was like ░░░░░░░░ guess anyone can do ░░░░░░░░ She s like I ░░░░░░░░ am the person that ░░░░░░░░ BALDWIN I make the ░░░░░░░░ BASSETT I m the ░░░░░░░░ maker here She s ░░░░░░░░ been held back she ░░░░░░░░ be walking next to ░░░░░░░░ and they ll let ░░░░░░░░ into an even and ░░░░░░░░ say sorry only he ░░░░░░░░ his staff can come ░░░░░░░░ She s like I ░░░░░░░░ running his campaign People ░░░░░░░░ just not used to ░░░░░░░░ a black woman in ░░░░░░░░ role or a woman ░░░░░░░░ all So we re ░░░░░░░░ seeing a sea change ░░░░░░░░ BALDWIN Who are some ░░░░░░░░ the other powerhouses and ░░░░░░░░ that point about three ░░░░░░░░ of sleep with the ░░░░░░░░ under the pillow like ░░░░░░░░ could have a 9 ░░░░░░░░ to 5 00 roughly ░░░░░░░░ Capitol Hill Why choose ░░░░░░░░ life BASSETT There s ░░░░░░░░ adrenaline rush on the ░░░░░░░░ trail I think a ░░░░░░░░ of them that I ░░░░░░░░ to are sort of ░░░░░░░░ to the highs of ░░░░░░░░ When they have a ░░░░░░░░ Symone Sanders who works ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden She was ░░░░░░░░ saying that the high ░░░░░░░░ a win after a ░░░░░░░░ he s taken it ░░░░░░░░ the chin a lot ░░░░░░░░ cycle And when he ░░░░░░░░ an event where he ░░░░░░░░ really smashes it or ░░░░░░░░ a good moment in ░░░░░░░░ press they get in ░░░░░░░░ car together and she ░░░░░░░░ just hyping him she ░░░░░░░░ herself his hype woman ░░░░░░░░ s screaming high fiving ░░░░░░░░ Yes You gave the ░░░░░░░░ what they want So ░░░░░░░░ think there s something ░░░░░░░░ exciting about being in ░░░░░░░░ kind of heavy competition ░░░░░░░░ landing this person in ░░░░░░░░ White House It s ░░░░░░░░ exciting than a 9 ░░░░░░░░ to 5 00 sitting ░░░░░░░░ the Hill with a ░░░░░░░░ who s already there ░░░░░░░░ Laura Bassett thank you ░░░░░░░░ much for just showing ░░░░░░░░ else how all these ░░░░░░░░ are kicking you know ░░░░░░░░ the scenes for all ░░░░░░░░ presidential campaigns.”
