Wonder how much more KellyAnn can take before she quits ? Although

I have zero sympathy for her. She has gone light years beyond what a professional campaign manager would do to support their client. She has reached a point that makes her look completely ridiculous too. Same with Mr 9-11.

Surely, they both know this will not come out good for them. They have made fools of themselves.

And based on how disingenuous KA sounds today - she will not deserve ANY "Poor KellyAnn's" when this train wreck ends.

If Donald were to win she'd have hit the jackpot. Unfortunately that's not going to happen and while I think she's vile to be aiding and abetting the psychopath, let's hope she's smart enough to gallop away before it's too late.

and it's believed that billionaire Robert Mercer arranged for her and Bannon to become involved with the Trump campaign. So she's not quite Trump's typical hire from the bottom of the pile (and Bannon is powerful in his own right and has his own agenda).

As long as she pleases Mercer and retains her reputation with hard-core Republican leaders who want to know how to fool women into supporting them, she will have a successful career serving them. Certainly her willingness to doggedly push the silliest and most outrageous lies on screen to please her current employer will not hurt her with that crowd.

I agree she's showing the strain of all her hard, nasty work, though. She looks as if she's lost weight, and she only joined him in August. 38 days to election, then presumably some clean-up after.

Especially the press. KellyAnn is clearly ruining
her reputation and career carrying Trump's vile water.
And if the press does not believe you, thinks your
arguments are entirely without merit, finds you
to be manipulative and dishonest (or delusional),
you have no future in politics. You're done.

None of Trump's flaks are getting their message
out any more, because their lying has become
the news, the big story and what voter's are
taking away.

She defended Todd Akin-R-MO

snip ....

in an interview with the Family Research Council, Conway compared Republican criticism of Todd Akin (R-MO), one of Conway's clients, to the siege in 1993 of cult leader David Koresh. An Akin representative said that Conway's comments were "stupid." Conway said she was not comparing Akin to Koresh, but instead comparing the FBI's tactics to force Koresh out with the Republican's tactics to force Akin out of the 2012 election.[5] Conway also defended Akin's position of opposing a “rape” exception for a hypothetical abortion ban on grounds that women’s bodies had mysterious ways of avoiding conception in cases of “legitimate rape.”

They all operate at a level of being human garbage. You're splitting hairs imagining one is worse than the others.

She'lll land on her feet more respected than ever in RW circles, because she had the "guts" to jump in and try to save the RNC's presidential nominee when they all knew that it was a hopeless case.

members of the secretive Council for National Policy (CNP), Hatewatch has learned
Longtime Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway and Stephen Bannon, executive chairman of the far-right Breitbart News operation, were named on Aug. 17 as, respectively, the Trump campaign’s manager and its chief executive officer. The appointment of Bannon was by far the more controversial choice, given his role at a “news” outlet known for bashing immigrants, Muslims, women and others.

The CNP is an intensely secretive and shadowy group of what The New York Times once described as “the most powerful conservatives in the country.”

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/08/31/revealed-conway-bannon-members-secretive-group

some kinda scary ..IMHO

....snip2
As the SPLC noted when it published the 2014 directory in May of this year, the CNP has every right to keep its membership secret. But, as the SPLC wrote then, “it also provides an important venue in which relatively mainstream conservatives meet and very possibly are influenced by real extremists, people who regularly defame LGBT people with utter falsehoods, describe Latino immigrants as a dangerous group of rapists and disease-carriers, engage in the kind of wild-eyed conspiracy theorizing for which the John Birch Society is famous, and even suggest that certain people should be stoned to death in line with Old Testament law.”


Gee, where have we heard this before...
