Oops, owed you a ping.
LOL!
No Helen Hunt pics! Please, and Thank You!
The model got married at Mar-a-Lago in December 2018 to Darren Centinello, who she met on the 2016 Trump campaign. Centinello currently works for the Trump campaign.
The story buries her credentials for the job -- gotta lead with the cheesecake, ya'know -- but at least they are finally acknowledged. She started modelling at 17 but then earned degrees from Harvard and Penn. She's worked in politics since 2016, paying some dues at low level jobs and working her way up. She's still young which the RNC can use to advantage, but the RNC and Trump campaign need to be careful not to push her out of her depth. I don't say that as a negative -- conservatives need to be reaching out effectively to younger voters -- but experience matters. Trump is leading a populist parade, but precisely for that reason, he dodges some huge issues with the deficit and entitlement reform at the top of the list. Those things will destroy the country if open borders don't do it first. Young voters, correctly, don't see the geriatrics at the head of the ticket as the future of anything. Young people do know, however, that their futures are being sabotaged, and conservatives need to preparing that battlefield now, even if Trump isn't interested.
Per the story, Ms. Elizabeth identifies as a religious Jew. That makes her a natural for outreach to both the religious and Jewish communities. The story doesn't say anything about her three books, but at the risk of scandalizing some freepers, these consist of two books of poetry and "Finding My Place: Making My Parents' Dream Come True," written in 2020. Assuming that it's autobiographical, she was younger that El Baracko the Magnificent when he wrote "Dreams From My Father."
If she's up for it, I'd find a way to have fun with that. (I already know the question I'd plant and the answers I'd have queued up; the key is to keep the answer humorous and self-deprecating.) But substantively, there's an opportunity there. I wouldn't just use her to reach out to young people and especially young women. I'd use her to speak broadly to the legal immigrant community with an emphasis on coming to America in the right way with the right intentions, with gratitude for the opportunity to build a new life in a land of freedom. Obama's book was basically a self-reverential indictment of America for its failure to be as perfect as His Magnificence considered himself to be; hers is (I hope and expect) a traditional immigrant's story of hope and faith, with reverence for the promise of America. If I were running the RNC/Trump campaign messaging, I know how I'd want to deploy her.
Subject, of course, to her own strengths and comfort level.
Harvard, Penn, religious Jew, three books ... heck, there should be a running challenge to the talk shows to get her on with KJP for a duel of the young female spokeswomen.
I also hope she speaks up about the importance of children and building a family. Young women today are being relentlessly indoctrinated against both. That's going to kill the country too unless we turn it around soon.
Who Is That?
In before the “get her a cheeseburger” chubbo lovers.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
Thanks
