Kellyanne Conway is seen within the White House as a "Queen without an Army"



http://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/kellyanne-conways-dangerous-game-234935

But according to someone who has worked with Conway and knows her thinking intimately, none of that much matters to Conway. She’s taking a long view in her bid to rise in the White House ranks — and she’s performing for an audience of one: President Donald Trump.

And so while critics may squawk, what matters most to Conway is that Trump sees her defending him on national television.

For Conway, the prize for loyalty is eventually landing a spot as chief of staff, becoming the first woman ever to hold the role and cementing her spot at the center of Trump’s inner circle.

Currently, Conway is seen within the White House as a “Queen without an Army,” according to a former campaign official. Conway has a vague title of “counselor,” and recently hired a chief of staff and an assistant to support her on her quest to dig into the "next phase of issues," according to Conway. She has taken ownership of opioid-abuse and veterans affairs, a portfolio that Trump cares deeply about. Conway says she plans to turn her office into a war room, and was quick to mention that she has top-security clearance.

He only cares about blind allegiance, and Kelly Ann knows this. She will be in the White House long after many others.

mouth all over the tube. From telling tales out of school.. smearing ivanka's brand even worse with her lying hawking potty mouth. Getting banned from cnn for the "Bowling Green Massacre" Lies to Lying about the reason she was not on the Sunday shows. Not to mention all the other Bullshit she spews..

She has a "fatal attraction" like SNL portrayed her.. she's hitched her wagon to the devil incarnate and she's the perfect advocate.

According to a source close to Trump, the real estate magnate respects the aides that he perceives don’t need him, like Chief Strategist Steve Bannon, a multi-millionaire who ran right-wing news outlet Breitbart.


Translation, he's giving away power left and right because he doesn't have a clue about anything.
