When I suggested yesterday that Kellyanne Conway was being less than loyal to Donald Trump by sharply criticizing Mitt Romney on the Sunday shows, some readers took issue, surmising that Trump himself had encouraged Conways attacks.
But todays Morning Joe reported as Breaking News that two sources at the top of the transition say that Trump is furious at Conway for her comments, notably her suggestion that Trump had betrayed his supporters by considering Romney for Secretary of State. The sources described Conway as having gone rogue. Scarborough read a response from Conway in which she called the comments sexist and claimed she could have any job she wants in the Trump administration. (more )

After swimming around in the Twitter swamp for a few minutes (ughh) it seems Joe let it “slip” that his source was Trump himself...this is from conversations around @RickWilson (another ughh)...so I tend to think you’re right.
This is messy.
Joe Scarborough is a low-life POS...He’s Gary Condit’s sexual buddy.
I suppose, he’s furious at Newt and Huckabee also?
Either way, Kelly should have kept her mouth shut if she’s going to work for Trump. He doesn’t need insiders throwing more gas into the liberal fire.
Or this is another of Trump’s brilliant manuvers. No one wants loser Romney, especially after how he went off on Trump. Now, we hear Trump wants and apology but it hasn’t come. I’ve thought for days Trump is making Romney eat crow and is stringing him along until the final slap down. With Kellyanne going so far off script calling out her boss. But, she’s also taking jabs at Romney. This may be exactly what Trump wants. Beating Romney so far down he never attempts another failed campaign.
if they are trolling, they are losing me. remember Mike Pence said he MR was under strong consideration. something is amiss- either KA is off the reservation, the trump train is split and at war or the team is using pretty ugly tactics with MR being dragged through the mud. whatever it is, get it together - name the SOS -fix staff problems- and get moving. the Dems are already trying to delegitimize DJT with recount - not a great idea to do it by puerile/chaotic/disunited actions by team itself. just sayin’
Agreed. Us freepers need to change our collective loser mentality. The media is no longer in control. We are. The main stream media doesn’t need to change. They just need to be ignored.
Election day was the start of a whole new world and we need to start acting like it.
It’s OUR world now. Well, OK, it’s God’s world. But he gave it to us to be good stewards.
Not me, I won’t even click on any MSM site.
> “ two sources at the top of the transition say that Trump”
Bullsh*t right there.
The three guys at the top of the transition and Trump’s team are Pence, Priebus and Bannon. As distasteful as Joe and Mika are, they play the game carefully with their sources, and it is clear from this segment that Bannon and Priebus both offered this.
Now, are they getting ready to give the communications director position to Sean Spicer, yet another GOPe/Priebus/Ryan buttboy from the RNC? He’s the guy for “negotiating” the reliably Democrat-favoring presidential debate terms for the RNC.
Was Kellyanne set up?
Lol! And vice-versa!
Just what I was thinking!
“Kelly should have kept her mouth shut if shes going to work for Trump.”
Unless, of course, she said exactly what Trump told her to say.
Kellyanne Conway, you’re fired.
One thing to keep in mind is Trump’s past of trolling. Ex. Pretending to be a John Miller PR rep then years later leaking the interview tape and claiming in public he didn’t leak it.
He is The World’s Greatest Troll

He could have leaked this info to Joe while at the same time being okay with Kellyanne doing the Romney attack dogging..all the while Romney doesn’t get the gig but was at least under consideration.
The real loser is this trolling farce is Romney...even if he gets the SOS gig. He is tainted in the American Public’s Eyes and he knows it. So does the GOPE.
Look, if you want to give him a gig, Trump, put him in charge of the VA..then fire him if he doesn’t do a good job.
Oh, thought it was a caption contest.
“Hold on. A new Trump story coming in. Wait, while I pull it out of my @ss. “
BS. She never ‘accused’ him of anything. She repeated what numerous supporters were saying about the meetings with Romney and the media lies that Romney would be SOS.
The same media morons were previously saying Nikki Haley would be SOS.
Right—I think the Priebus/Spicer/Ryan gang has been gunning for her from the start of the transition.
They might put up with Bannon—but with the MSM going after him so, they could have set that up too. But if Bannon and Conway were both in the close to Trump, they could keep him better on track to fulfill his campaign promises, rather than roll over for the Ryan/McConnell administration—as Ryan and presumably Priebus have been aiming for.
I can't imagine Kellyanne Conway would have wanted this position. It seems like the people in this post turn over every 1-2 years on average. Jen Psaki is the 23rd White House Communications Director since Ronald Reagan took office.
