I remember we [with Donald Trump] were sitting in a meeting and he walked in and he looked at me and he said - maybe five or six of us in there - and he said, "Are you the first woman to ever run a presidential campaign?" And so the guys in the room said, "First Republican woman." And I said - you know, I always think of Susan Estrich and Mary Kay and Donna Brazile, and respect them enormously; know one of them very well. And I said, "Well, I'm the first Republican one."

You had journalist saying during the campaign that Donald Trump compels them to suspend all objective standards of journalism.

I find Donald Trump to be incredibly gracious, energetic, I mean the greatest compliment you can get from Donald Trump is not hey, that's brilliant or that was really smart or great job. It's you're really high energy.

Some of the best advice and insights I have ever received in my professional life have come from people, by listening to them, by getting out of the bubble, by getting out of our coastal media centers.

Basically I'm the first woman [run a president campaign] - it doesn't get covered a lot because I'm in the wrong party to have done that, and worked for the wrong candidate to have been recognized to do that.

I look up at the screen and I see no difference between the way candidate Trump, president-elect Trump, and President Trump is being treated by many outlets.

It's a shame that people are resisting vetting programs that would actually just keep out those who want to do us harm.
