2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWonder 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.

(35,015 posts)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.

But, even if he did win, and he would surely be a maniac in office, in the back of your mind, wouldn't you think...UH OH, I had something to do with propping him up to get there.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)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.

(44,996 posts)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.

(42,770 posts)Press Secretary? Mr 9-11 hoping for a job? Either way, there is a fine line between advocacy and defending the absolute insanity. It's like they think all people are stupid.

(8,203 posts)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 campaigns 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.

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...
