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.”

Quite a row to hoe, he’s got. I hope the swamp doesn’t drain him while he’s at it.
Pray for him. I know I will. He might just be the right guy at the right time. He might just be a Godsend for America.
Bill Kristol's rag is Weakly Standard (or some similar spelling).
NRO is run by somebody named "Rich Lowry."
or Upper Volta. Romney could be the face of Trump to the Upper Voltans.
I sure hope so. He’s the Obiwan, but that doesn’t mean he can handle a light saber.
Why do I feel that this was all orchestrated by Kellyanne? Brilliant!!
Ever seen a cat toying with its prey?
Since MSNBC went live 30 minutes ago, I’ve been watching to see if they said anything about this. So far, nada. Maybe Scarborough will have something to say @ 5 AM.
You are 100% right on! IMO
I don’t watch msm anymore and pretty much missed all the hoopla regarding Trump being “furious”. Looking at the story in hindsight, after the fact, plus having no knowledge of msm comments per se on the “furiosity” (real word?) thing, it becomes even more humorous and outright hillarious.
Trump is a genious and he knows what he is doing. Muster all the faith we can in his abilities.
Glad to see you’re out and about, abb.
I always looked forward to your Media Death Watch threads back in the day.
And KellyAnne would not be off the reservation about public comments about Romney. Along with that, she strikes me as the same kind of person as my wife; sweet as can be, until she is not. The media don't understand strong women, so they are writing about something they don't understand.
Claiming that Conway is “outside,” and that the NYT story isn’t accurate. They’re trying to stick to their story, no matter what everyone’s lying eyes see.
lol
Excellent cartoon. Lol that Jeb is the shortest serpent.
Trump plays it straight up...if you have followed him from day one, you know that...what he says is what he means...
Conway, as you all know, I don’t trust, but I trust the media even less and that includes Joe...he’s butthurt because Trump won’t come on his show anymore...Savage gets upset because Trump doesn’t call him for advise (ROFL)...and the list goes on...media is upset because they aren’t privy to info and they are not picking Trump’s cabinet...boo hoo....
I heard what Conway said, I was watching the Trump Tower Lobby Cam and yes she said what she did...so take responsibility for what you say Conway, your not to be trusted!!!
Lovely vision there of controlled chaos. Thanks!
But Trump will respond to his base.
No reason for us to roll over while he delivers his victory to the uniparty. Fingers crossed, but still concerned—mostly after Priebus got chief of staff. GOPe nominations to ED and the UN...
Joe Scarborough today cheerfully sticks with his “inner circle” sources of yesterday, on the subject of Kellyanne.
Joe held up two papers this morning that covered the Conway story. He reports that Conway “dictated” her side of the story to the NYT and they printed it as she dictated it. No push back, evidently.
Joe then mentioned Politico who wrote the same story that Joe reported on his own yesterday, but through their own sources. He added that it was Politico that got it exactly right. Not the NYT.
Joe confirmed today that it was the job of “Press Secretary” that Kellyanne was offered. Conway told the NYT that she wanted instead to stay in New York and head up some outside organization.
I heard her myself a few days ago, maybe on Meet the Press, when she was asked about her own job in a Trump administration. She said, yes, she had been offered a position and replied “We’ll see... but I am here to talk about ......”. She would say nothing further on that subject.
Obviously, she had reservations of some kind. To say publicly of a job offer from the 46th President of the United States, “We’ll see”, tells us Kellyanne was either negotiating for something different, or was truly not able to make a move to DC, or was unhappy with that position. Period.
Joe said it had been confirmed yesterday that Conway is not in the inner circle and she did go rogue on Romney. He said “she is out of the room when things happen”. He also added that Trump is a loyalist to Conway, but that Conway did make an error and did not help herself over the past several days.
She went silent yesterday, noticeably. I think we all noticed that. We learn, however, that she huddled with the NYT to say that she was not going to be staying with Trump.
Today we know she is out. She is not going to DC. Add it all together and Joe may have gotten it exactly right.
Joe is not going to misquote inner circle sources, or make up something and attribute it to them, and blow up forever the gift of having their ear and having a relationship he will want for the future, throughout a Trump presidency.
I think it is inaccurate to defend the NYT as the truth teller. Chances are the Times let Kellyanne hang herself and already knew that she was no longer among the inner circle players, as they move on to bigger things like foreign policy, domestic policy, and transitioning to fill big jobs and big names.
I despise MSNBC and deplore the O’Reilly-level of arrogance that Scarborough displays, but I am a hard news addict and Joe’s got three hours of it every day. TRUMP watches faithfully, himself.
FOX morning programming is totally unserious, with unserious and giddy hosts and does not meet the bar for hard news because of it.
So the gist of this is the Kellyanne is out? Hmm...Too bad, she is very talented.
I know that Conway has a polling business...so that could be the reason she isn’t going with Trump, the contract they have to sign not to be a ‘lobbyist’ for 5 years...I don’t know if ‘pollster’ is the same as lobbyist or not...all I know is that I don’t trust the woman...
I think that is one of the main reasons that Newt isn’t going with Trump, he has to sign the contract...
I think it’s an excellent idea that they have to wait 5 years before doing anything like that, most of the people in government today is either a lobbyist or is married to one or has a few in the family...when the government workers are way over the ‘working class of America’ there is something wrong in the way we are running our Nation...
