What Is Kellyanne Conway's Strategy?

She's getting paid by other people, so there's that. It also gives her more visibility for the talk show circuit. She may even get her own show to host after this.

She's also building capital as a GOP operative. She kept Junior from dropping out or going into an obscenity laced tirade on camera, so thats got to give her some points. Especially if her old boss, Ted Cruz can grab some more power for himself.

She's also probably helping to make sure the Trumpster fire doesn't burn down their chances in the legislature (anymore than it already has). If they do manage to keep control of the Senate, they are still in the driver's seat.

Hopefully all working for that last will come down with major diarrhea for several months , They can wallow in it!!!
 
Notice how much I respect republickers and their shills!!!!! Just about as much as they deserve for the evil they work so hard to accomplish!!!!!
 
Kellyanne Conway is a true believer. She worked for and supported another Republican candidate in the primaries (I don't remember who) and she's a good soldier. She is supporting her Party's nominee.

Apparently, for some unknown reason, she does have a positive feeling about Donald Trump. Several years ago she tried to talk him into running for Governor of New York against Andrew Cuomo. In fact Conway took some heat in GOP circles for allegedly misleading The Don by trying to convince him he could unseat Cuomo. Early polling showed Trump trailing by 35 points. I think the criticism was that Conway was either less than candid with Trump about Cuomo's massive edge or tried to spin it.

At least she hasn't said she "worships" Donald Trump like Ann Coulter did. ;)

It was Cruz. The one Trump slandered. She's not a good soldier. She's a good mercenary. There's another word for that, I think. She's not loyal to the party although she's a part of the ideology of it. She's a gun for hire.

You look at her talking and hear what she's saying and I doubt she has any fondness nor dislike for Trump. She's a mercenary. If she tried to convince Trump or anyone to run for a position it was because she was looking for a bridge to sell. It's what she does.

Sometimes she slips, like this week when Baier had to walk back his "FBI insider scoop". When cornered on it, she finally said, essentially, that it didn't matter if it wasn't true, that enough people believed it. Shades of Newt's "facts don't matter, beliefs do".
 
Kellyanne Conway grew up in South Jersey near Philadelphia. She discovered politics in high school and became a fervent Ronald Reagan supporter. This is from a New Yorker magazine profile of a couple weeks ago:
She saw a Ronald Reagan speech [and] she knew that she was a Republican. “He really touched me,” she said. “I liked the more uplifting, aspirational, yet tough-guy kind of thing.”

During college she worked as an intern at Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly in Washington:
Conway found mentors in political fixers such as Charlie Black, a partner in Black, Manafort, Stone & Kelly. To Conway, the firm’s principals, who worked for Reagan and George H. W. Bush, “were the untouchables.

In the 1990s Conway worked for Newt Gingrich when he was a congressman leading the GOP "devolution." and in 2012, when he ran for President. When Mitt Romney won the Party's nomination, despite preferring Gingrich, she gave her allegiance to Romney because he was the Party's nominee. It pains her that Romney refuses to support this year's nominee, Donald Trump.
She supported Romney four years ago, donating to his campaign and offering it advice. “I was a good little soldier,” she said.

She's married to George Conway whose GOP credentials are impeccable:
Kellyanne’s husband is George T. Conway III, who as a young lawyer played a historic—and largely hidden—role in the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Conway, a graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School, worked at the New York City firm Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, and was a member of the Federalist Society, the conservative organization that led many of the legal challenges to the Clinton Administration. When Paula Jones sued Bill Clinton for sexual harassment, Conway wrote the Supreme Court brief, though his name never appeared on it.

As Loss Leader mentioned, Conway started a polling/marketing firm that advised major corporations -- American Express, Hasbro, Vaseline -- on how to target advertising to reach women "Her most well-known political clients, including Gingrich, Mike Pence, and Dan Quayle, have been socially conservative Republicans who needed help reaching female voters."

Actually, I think the Trump-GOP faction is a little more politically astute and sinister than initially comes across this election. The strategy seems to be a giant gish gallop, eschewing any pretense at honesty. Inoculate against doubt or serious critical examination by riling up the base with repeated claims of systemic bias in the media and political establishment (which plays into the sentiments of the disaffected tea party constituency, whose ideology does not hold water with the rest of the nation). And then hitting their enemies with a barrage of absurd claims regarding corruption / dishonesty. Example: False claims of upcoming indictments. There have been a number of very active groups spreading disinformation through alternate channels. NPR had a pretty chilling piece the other night about anti-Islamic groups spreading the stereotypical fictions that muslims all engaged in female circumcision; or were trying to impose sharia law on the nation.

It does not phase the core of the Trump-GOP support base if the claims are easily falsified because they have already become convinced that any attempt to set the record straight is action by the corrupt, biased media. Or the fictions are justified because THEIR "enemy" doesn't play by the rules.

Conway has not one shred of honesty or conscience in her being. She is in it for the money and her own cred as a mover and shaker. She is totally a gun-for-hire. Thus she can cheerfully and openly lie in public about her team's candidate and the issues. She simply does not care one iota about facts, truth or consistency.
