Donald Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, told MSNBC her candidate won because he did a better job of listening to the American people.

Theyve waited for someone outside of politics to shape up politics and theyve finally got their wish, she said Wednesday on Morning Joe.

Even amidst a corrupt and rigged system where people feel they are forgotten and dont have a shot, they really can rise up on Election Day.

Conway, who became Trumps campaign manager in August, said he was determined to unify the country, starting with meeting with President Obama on Thursday.

Conway said she and Trump had not spoken about his campaign trail claim that he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Hillary Clintons use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

We did not discuss that last night and he certainly did not address it with Mrs. Clinton on the phone (when she conceded).

A centerpiece of a Trump presidency will be defeating Islamic terrorism, Conway said.

He thinks of them as savage murderers.

Conway said that in coming days Trump will be fielding calls from foreign leaders.

He certainly will welcome those calls, she said. Hes said to the world community, I will put America first, but I will be fair.

She also chided pollsters who, up until Election Day, had predicted a victory for Hillary Clinton.

If I could take one thing away from this, youve got to listen to the people, she said. Listen less to each other and listen to the people. People are wise.
