During a recent conversation between Trump attorney Susan Necheles and Madeleine Westerhout, it was revealed that Donald Trump was not the preferred choice of the Republican National Committee in the 2016 election. Necheles confirmed this by stating, 'Oh no,' with a small laugh.
Necheles further elaborated on the skepticism surrounding Trump's candidacy, mentioning that there were always events where people believed he wouldn't succeed. She expressed this sentiment by clapping her hands and stating, 'He’s not going to win.'
Westerhout echoed Necheles' sentiments, agreeing that there were doubts about Trump's chances of winning the election.
This revelation sheds light on the internal dynamics within the Republican Party during the 2016 election cycle. Despite not being the preferred choice of the Republican National Committee, Trump went on to secure the party's nomination and eventually win the presidency.
It is not uncommon for political candidates to face skepticism and doubt from party insiders, as was evident in Trump's case. However, his victory in the 2016 election defied expectations and highlighted the unpredictable nature of politics.
As the 2020 election approaches, this conversation serves as a reminder of the uncertainties and surprises that can unfold in the world of politics. It also underscores the importance of closely following developments and being prepared for unexpected outcomes.
