Kellyanne Conway: Faster than a 30-second Ad, able to stop critical journalistic questions in a heartbeat, and heap political advice and assistance to crappy candidates in a single bound (then backtrack for them when needed).

I will give her credit where credit is due … she certainly earns her millions which I am sure she is paid. She is good at what she does, but conversely, isn’t that counter to what Trump says his prime goal is: “To drain the swamp.” Conway is at the bottom of that swamp – caution lies ahead and the operative word is “lie.”

If one listens carefully she always employs one or all of this slick techniques when answering a question re: Trump and his latest faux pas or gaffe or goofy tweet:

1.  Red Herring: That is changing the subject. Example: “I should not be prosecuted for stealing songs off the Internet. The Internet is a free medium, and if you put your song there, expect it to be pirated. Isn't the Internet free speech?” The attempt here is to shift the focus from the individual who stole a song to the bigger question of intellectual property on the Internet.

2.  Circular Reasoning: That is to use an unproven point to prove a point. Example this exchange between two opponents: “Can you prove that God exists first, before using God as an answer? “God is real!” – “How can you prove that God is real?” – “The Bible states that God is real.” – “So why should I believe what the Bible says?” – “Because God's hand wrote the Bible.” This fallacious, circling argument appears all the time in many different forms.

3.  Straw Man: That is to oversimplify an opponent's point. Example: “Health care should be for everyone so that we all share the cost burden with Society as a whole.” – “This is a free country. No one can make me pay for anything for others. It‘s another tax. High taxes are what led to our recession. Do you want higher taxes?” Note: Another tax, need tax cut, it’s a free country, love the flag, God first, no one can make me pay for other people’s stuff – all get attention w/o any substance or fact other than a sound bite.

I love to watch her road show crap.
