Being fascinated with this election because as I said from the start I was disturbed about the lack of "fairness" I ended up watching SO much coverage.
Enjoy, in retrospect, these moments if you like that demonstrate how the media was outsmarted in their vain attempts to paint Trump as a simplistic one-dimensional villain while his people calmly stayed on point.
I start with this wonderful example from Oct 12. Kellyanne Conway goes toe to toe with Brianna Keilar, a CNN anchor who is absolutely determined to push an agenda of Trump sexism. Conway is put into a very difficult position as a woman where she is challenged to somehow defend Trump's "backstage pageant access" talks on the Howard Stern show. Conway is obviously uncomfortable with the entire topic but she handles it amazingly well and ultimately turns the entire script by challenging Keilar to comment first on similar accusations from the Clinton camp and then by truly slamming the hammer-fist by pointing out that the CNN anchor is not interested in discussing topics important to voters as evidenced by CNN's own polls, but rather wants to fixate on easily exploitable Trump weaknesses. By staying on point and flipping the script, Conway takes what ought to be a HUGE Trump gaffe and turns it into a another opportunity to demonstrate Obama and Clinton weaknesses.
