She is good, very good and earns every penny Trump pays her.

UPDATE ON THE FOLLOWING: I had to post this after reading the article linked below (Daily Kos).
Background: Not
even a week has passed and President-elect Trump’s team is already warning
Trump critics to be careful about the way they criticize him.
Let’s call that a WTF moment for Ms. Conway shall we?
Warning
critics of their right to free speech and honest opinion … preserve, protect,
and defend the Constitution, eh Mr. Trump, yet allow that kind of talk from
your minions? Give me a break.
The story that got my attention example
from this article should grab everyone’s attention like it did me (from the DailyKos).
Senate
Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said recent that “the election of Donald
Trump has emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry in America and that white
nationalists, Vladimir Putin, and ISIS are celebrating Donald Trump's victory,
while innocent, law-abiding Americans are wracked with fear.” [...]
Ms.
Conway said about that: “He (Sen. Reid) should be very careful about
characterizing somebody in a legal sense. He thinks – he thinks he's just being
some kind of political pundit there, but I would say be very careful about the
way you characterize it.” (That linked story is above).
FYI
for Ms. Conway: You meant to say and left out neatly, I might add, how practically every GOPer in the land for years,
thanks to Mr. Trump, believed Mr. Obama was NOT American born in Hawaii, or how
about Mr. Trump in the campaign a few time professing that “She (Hillary
Clinton) and him (President Obama) founded ISIS – they founded it - they founded ISIS (he said in
rapid succession).”
Oh, BTW here is that clip for your memory about Trump, your asinine
boss (notice I am watching what I say, too):
Now, Mr. Conway, do us all one huge favor and just drop dead.
In a word, you are one
sick female weasel – or choose any other name for that description… you’re
welcome.
ORIGINAL POST STARTS HERE: Now we see the most-recent (and 3rd) Campaign
Manager for Donald J. Trump, Kellyanne Conway, ready to take over the job as White House Counselor.
Conway has long been a fixture of right-wing media and she also has a history of peddling homophobic,
anti-choice, and misogynistic talking points using those outlets.
For example, as a cable
news pundit during the early part of the Trump 2016 primary season,
she attacked Trump: (1) for his “un-Presidential and vulgar language,” (2) for
having “built a lot of his business on the backs of the little guy,” and (3) for
not releasing his tax returns.
So, who is she, really? More in depth information has come to light about her background and statements
and such. Many of them are here from Media Matters.
Two examples that caught my eye are:
1. She advised former
Senate candidate Todd Akin (R-MO) to weather the criticism over his “legitimate rape” comments when was running to unseat Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) in
that 2012 senate race. Remember those:
He had won the GOP primary in
a crowded field and was leading McCaskill in pre-election polls until he said that
women who are victims of what he called “legitimate rape rarely get
pregnant. He did apologize for the remark but rebuffed calls for him to
withdraw. He lost to McCaskill by 54.7 percent to 39.2 percent. In a book he later
published (July 2014), Akin said that he regretted apologizing and went onto to
defend his original comments.
Reflect back on Akin's comments - a short clip (.40 seconds):
2. Conway also said that the
Waco cult leader David Koresh should withstood the WTF standoff that ended up
with over 80 deaths in April of 1993.
Now, that Kellyanne Conway is poised to enter the White House and Oval Office as Donald Trump’s
chief counselor. She will have his ear anytime she wants.
So, what can we expect from her? Hard
to say. Read the rundown on her cited above and maybe those things will help answer that question.
We obviously will have to wait and see (and hear) from here, but as for me, I predict, it won’t
be a pretty sight. Oh, yes, she is clever, slick, savvy, well-spoken, and
well-rehearsed and such, but with little if any substance for positive details – that
is her methodology.
Just stay tuned ... and as always, thanks for stopping by.
