Can Anyone Who Graduated "With Honors" Really Be as Dumb as Kelly Anne Conway?

Serious questions. Unless she lied and cheated her way through college and then law school, I don't see how any one can be a stupid as this woman wants us to think she is. "Alternative facts"? "Bowling Green Massacre?" These are worse than Ann Coulter at her worst (When she praised our Canadian allies who fought beside U.S. troops in Vietnam. Guess that's why Canada accepted so many draft dodgers during the Vietnam War.)

So, consider this possibility. Maybe Conway, who used to work for Mike Pence still works for Pence. Maybe she has dyed her hair blond and come up with a bunch of outrageous things to say that will make Donald Trump look like an incompetent who has a dumb blond for a top adviser. Her Orwellian remarks in particular made Americans feel even more unsafe and has probably contributed to the whopping 40% who want to see Trump impeached.

Consider the possibility that Kelly Anne Conway is Mike Pence's Nancy Reagan. Or maybe his Lady Macbeth. Does the POTUS employ a food taster to check for drugs in the coffee?

She seeds the followers with just the right talking points to keep their support.

I haven't seen Kelly Anne Conway do anything that I would consider dumb. She's a very accomplished liar, but I wouldn't say that she spreads misinformation due to a lack of knowledge or understanding. I'm annoyed by her and dislike her, I wouldn't doubt her academic credentials in a heartbeat. She just chooses to use her intelligence in a terrible way.

I disagree.


Even Chuckie pwned her on that one and he is dumb.

Mercer was reportedly paying Conway's salary during the campaign season. Mercer also donates to Breitbart and subsidized the website/publication for years.

When asked to use the word "horticulture" in a sentence, she offered:

You can lead a whore to culture but you can't make her think.


That should explain it.

With honors compared to WHAT?

It, possibly, tells more about her peers.

She is not trying to speak to the anti-trump crowd. She is keeping his base intact and foaming at the mouth.

Just because she works for the insane, the bigots, and the assholes, doesn't mean she's insane, bigoted and an asshole.

She probably is. But it doesn't mean that.

We should not underestimate her. And I agree, I think she is ultimately loyal to Pence (and Cruz and the Tea Party crowd).

Watch how she referenced Trump at the beginning of her management of the campaign. She referred to him as "my boss" and "he" and terms that implied a lot of distance between them. She wasn't and isn't a Trumpista. But she realizes that she can use him to get what she and her benefactors want.
