Donald Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway explains why Trump will win

Hillary Clinton has a comfortable 7-point lead in RealClearPolitics' polling average, beating Donald Trump 46 percent to 39 percent in a four-way race with Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. She is also leading Trump in some traditionally red states — in a new Arizona Republic/Arizona State University poll, Clinton is besting Trump by 5 points in Arizona, for example. Some political analysts say the race is over, but Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway isn't one of them.

Clinton has "endless money," the media on her side, and a popular president stumping for her, Conway told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Tuesday night. "I mean, I will tell you, I am mystified as to why she can't get to those 52, 53 percent numbers in some of these states, given the disadvantages we're handed every day." Cooper graciously interjected that Clinton needs a Kellyanne Conway. "I don't feel sorry for us," Conway added, "I think we're going to win this because people love a comeback story. The one thing Donald Trump has that she simply does not is the mantle of change and disrupter."

Trump will "continue to campaign," Conway added. "We get criticized a lot, 'He's doing rallies, will those people vote?' Will the people who stood in the rain for four hours to see him at a rally? — sometimes, today in Colorado, they were overflow — you know they're going to vote, and I don't think they're all counted in the polls."
