As someone who was fooled by Cruz in the beginning, I think we should cut Kellyanne some slack on that. We didn’t know that he was a snake when we picked him up, but we learned.

Trump figured out that what he was doing was not working.
Rob Manafort was either unequipped to deal with the media sh**storm, or was a GOPe plant actively sabotaging the campaign.

Bringing on Team Breitbart was definitely the way to go.
Also speaks to Trump’s executive skills, as something was not working so he quickly made the call to change course.

The media, and the Hillary campaign, are scared to death of Trump. He will win in November and they know it. As for Charlie Sykes, he apparently would prefer Hillary in office as he continually bashes Trump. For Charlie, Trump is supposed to be the Paul Ryan rear-end-kissing GOPe peon. Ryan, don’t forget, voted for Obama’s budget to further fund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood.

It irritates me that Kelly wouldn’t give a yes-no to the yes-no question. Time was wasted jockeying around on that question and she was being evasive. She could have given the “yes” and expanded on that.

She’s a wonderful addition and very composed in interviews. Great, smart move to have her on board IMO.

This is very positive.

That she was promoted by Trump is something the liberal media is trying hard to avoid talking about.

Like I expressed before this is what Trump was referring to about Khan’s wife. Trump is not sexist.

My 20 yr. old daughter, not much into politics asked me yesterday...what are we going to do if he loses? She knows the corruption and threat to freedom is at stake and getting scared.

Yeah, like two media savvy people are going to jump on a sinking ship. Kellyanne Conway is a professional pollster. Does this guy know what kind of info she must have about his campaign? If anything, this bodes very well for his chances.

...this is a media war that Trump has on his hands and he needs solid media experience to successfully win against the MSM.

Exactly.

Kellyanne has to take the lead. She is well-spoken, smart and not too hard on the eyes. She was a terrific hire and shows Trump is not the misogynist that he is portrayed to be. Go Trump.

“Also speaks to Trump’s executive skills, as something was not working so he quickly made the call to change course.”


Compare and contrast with Bush 43: We invaded Iraq in March, 2003, and definitely knew that there was a strong (Iranian-armed, Iranian-funded and Iranian-trained) insurgency by December of 2003. Yet, Bush waited 4 freaking YEARS to implement the surge. There is no way, no how that Trump would ever be so negligent with American lives and American treasure. He’d have been all over our generals to defeat the insurgents, and forced Iran to back off, by the end of December, 2003 at the latest. Of course, that is completely ignoring the issue of whether Trump would ever get us involved in a war of that sort in the first place - that’s a different issue for a different time.

This is the contrast between politicians that don’t have their own people’s lives on the line, nor their own money. Trump is used to working for himself, and gets things done FAST and RIGHT. He’ll bring that same outlook and drive to the Presidency - and it will be incredibly refreshing.

Bright young lady.

Make sure that she communicates this to her friends and acquaintances of similar age - they might not listen to older folks, but they’ll pay attention to her. Every little bit helps.

Trump is not the misogynist that he is portrayed to be. Go Trump.

Kellyanne is the first woman to hold the top job in any republican presidential campaign.

But you already knew that because it was a big deal in the MSM network touting women's gains in breaking glass ceilings everywhere.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. ~Ronald Wilson Reagan

I’ve never forgotten that statement. I knew it beforehand, from my grandfather, but he really encapsulated it. We should teach it in our schools.

FYI, my paternal grandfather was an immigrant from Russia, in 1923. Both my father and I, in our respective youths, made the mistake of telling him (in essence) that the USA was so rich and powerful that our system would last forever. When I said it, he laughed, and said, “Listen to me, sonny boy, NOTHING is forever. When I was a young boy of 11, my entire country celebrated the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty’s rule over Russia. Russia was and is the world’s largest country, and it had not lost control over its territory since the time of Ghengis Khan, nearly 700 years earlier. My grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather could not have remembered a time before the Czar, and we all believed in our bones that the Czar was forever. Yet only 5 years later, the Czar was overthrown, and less than a year later, he and his whole family were murdered by a bunch of savages. So the Czar wasn’t forever, and neither is this country, however much you and I may love it.”

It is a great tragedy that a bunch of traitorous Democrats have nearly proven my grandfather, and Reagan, correct. One or two more terms under their rule, and our nation will cease to exist.

Yep, as I believe the Bible had already predicted.

Wow! Conway is very polished for media...first saw Kellyanne when she was Kellyanne Fitzpatrick back on the old NET conservative television network during the Clinton presidency years - starting with her polling firm and getting her feet wet in the public eye - she's been at it for a long time.....
