Trump encouraged Conway to trash Romney on TV over the weekend
twitter ^

Posted on 11/28/2016 8:10:26 PM PST by springwater13

Mr. Trump, in a statement emailed Monday evening by his spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said: “Kellyanne came to me and asked whether or not she could go public with her thoughts on the matter. I encouraged her to do so. Most importantly she fully acknowledged there is only one person that makes the decision. She has always been a tremendous asset and that will continue.”

Well, let’s be real, none of us want Romney to be anything north of sewer system cleaner...but if Trump is determined to co-op the NeverTrump movement, then he’s going to do something. In all likelihood he’s getting strong advice to do so that he listens hard to. If so, Romney probably feels like he has chits to play with and an “image” to uphold. He’s not going to agree to report to anyone but Trump.

I still think it all breaks down and Romney ends up out. But Trump thinks he can use him for whatever political reason. Where are the rest of us who are his base going to go after all? There’s no one else to rally around. He won.

I think Trump is playing with Romney like a cat plays with a mouse.

Romney, thinking of his own career, has now come to Trump. He will likely issue an apology if promised the SOS job, but Trump won’t care about that. Just seeing Romney jump through Trump hoops, then hearing thanks, but no thanks, is delicious. Any criticism of Trump after that will just look like sour grapes.

A guest on Dobbs tonight said the post election meeting between Trump and mittens was to give mittens an opportunity to do a public mia culpa and pledge his support. Mittens’ failure to do so essentially signed his own warrant. Let’s hope so.

The fake news that Trump was furious with Conway was started on MSNBC - Morning Joe, to be exact.

Doesn’t anyone corroborate stories anymore before publishing them?


The MSM does not desire nor does it aim for accuracy. They are in it to smear and destroy anyone to the right of Stalin.

But I saw stories about Trump being furious over her doing so. Which I didn’t believe.

Trump and Conway have a wonderful and very successful working relationship. The way they’ve trolled the media, and politicians has been amazing. They successfully used the media to hand them the election.

Why do you think SoS hasn’t been announced yet? Is it typically awhile before an incoming POTUS has their cabinet put together?

"....Romney, the lying, cowardly, POS, is getting trolled by Trump....."

The Leftist MSM is being trolled by Trump as well. He has them wrapped around his little finger. He likes toying with them.

They still don't know what has hit them. They can't see the swelling or feel the bruising just yet.

So true which is why I just ignore them anymore. They have no more relevance to me than the National Enquirer. Actually the NE isn’t too bad these days; lets say no more than a gossip rag.

Funny it would have a picture of Kristol for NRO as he is the editor of the Weekly Standard.

Romney, the lying, cowardly, POS, is getting trolled by Trump.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Taking out the trash well before the garbage truck shows up?

Ritt Momsey and his Mormon Blabernacle choir being neutralized?

Trump is setting himself for a stab in the back if he puts Ritt Momsey in as Sec. State. Rudy or Bolton are the right stuff. I prefer Rudy.

A lot of people at state need to be fired or put out to pasture. State needs an enormous reorganization after 8 yrs of Chucko the clown as the president. Any and all that have obfuscated the truth and even downright lied for Chucko need to go ASAP and never work for govt again.

Hopefully Trump can and will make that happen.

Trump set MSNBC up. And they fell for it. I wouldn’t doubt he secretly tasked someone to leak to “Morning Joe” that he was pizzed at Conway. They ran with it.

Then he publicly backed Conway’s statement.

Now, “Joe” doesn’t know who to believe, or what to say.

Made complete fools of them.

The give away that this was a trolling was Joe S. saying that there was distance between Conway and the other two close advisers Bannon and Prebus. (I don’t think so.) Then Conway coming out with that Byzantine statement about certain criticism being sexist — leaving Joe and Mina totally perplexed/confused. (Joe: “Who and what was sexist???? I don’t know what she is reeferring to.”

No one is stronger in opposition to Romney than Breitbart Bannon. “Sexist” is not a term Kellyanne tosses around casually — or at all.

If this is Trump using the media for his purposes AGAIN, it’s going to be utter genius.

State was rotten long before Chucko was born.

Agreed, but we have a chance to really make a difference if Trump will take the reigns and steer it away from its current anti-American, muslim loving course.

The swamp is alive, well, and undrained so far. To drain it, he has to keep all the swamp critters chasing their own tails while he plants eucalyptus trees, installs pumps, and changes the grade of the land. So some obfuscation and wild cards are absolutely necessary.
