Trump's campaign manager tells American Thinker what it was like to work for The Donald.
Here's the Deal by Kellyanne Conway is a memoir of her life. Readers will take the journey from her life as a young child to a pollster, a mom, and the only woman to run a successful presidential campaign. She shares her feelings about family, her marriage, reporters, and working with Donald Trump, first on his 2016 campaign and then as a consultant in the White House.
In reading the book, people will see her honest and straightforward account. They will understand why she was so vital to the Trump campaign as a smart, articulate, and talented woman. It was a pleasure to interview her about the past, present, and future regarding the issues.
EC: Let's start by talking about the past — 2020. Can you explain the book quote, "I think if we lose to this guy [Biden] we are pathetic"?
KAC: In my book, I have an entire chapter titled "A Tale of Two Outcomes." I show the contrast between 2016 and 2020.
In 2020, there was a whole lot more going in terms of resources, much more money, and staff members. Yet, toward the end, they ran out of money and had to pull some ad buys in those critical swing states. For example, can anyone even tell me what the Super Bowl ad was about sometime before the election? Then the Tulsa rally publicized how a million people would be there, yet there were empty seats.

“Did this meeting between Trump and Rutler that Conway facilitated lead to a confession...”
__________
You seem to be referring to the Sacrament of Penance.
In order for a confession to a Catholic priest to have any sacramental value or supernatural effect, the person doing the confessing must be a member of the Church Militant.
In other words, he must be Catholic.
Which The Don, as it happens, is not. At least, not yet, AFAOGINJK.
If you would, please elaborate on your thinking/analysis here.
Right...to concede loss is to validate the deep state’s immensely consequential 2020 election fraud. Why do that unless you’re trying to preserve some kind of career viability in a post-Trump political landscape in which the history books adopt
wholesale Nancy Pelosi’s preferred conclusions about the Bad Orange Man?
“Everybody has blind spots. Kellyanne’s are just in a very bad area.”
It’s been said that people like Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, and similar, encouraged the relationship with Conway — actively pushed it. Still ... KAC is too smart to go with the flow that way.
I would have been just as happy had she remained closed.
She tells each current tale with conviction & sincerity.
Question Kelly:
Your husband shills for the Lincoln Project. Many associates of that group are pedophile sexual predators. Is he comfortable working with these evil people?
Why? She stuck with Trump through thick and thin.
Why I distrust her is that she is a lawyer (this gives her a certain knowledge) who supported Cruz until his campaign failed to get sufficient public traction.
She knew or should have known of the Rogers v. Bellei precedent.
Well said. I still like her very much. A strong woman.
I wish some reporter would ask her that question! I have wondered about that myself. It may be the reason her daughter is so whacked out.
Right, we should not only never concede 2020, but we should never stop aggressively prosecuting the case - even if it’s too late reverse the outcome - it’s never too late to reach a verdict, set the record straight, and punish the perpetrators.
As in a murder or rape, you can never undo the crime, but that does not mean “move on”. The voices that urge us to forget 2020 and focus on “the issues” couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, we should make the 2024 election a referendum on the stolen 2020 election.
Sure, we can talk about the Biden administration’s epic failures - the economy, national security, racial divisions, etc. - but the thing the Democrat’s did that disqualifies them from holding office ever again is that they stole an election.
We can’t let that stand.
Who cares about this person
I’ve lost respect for her for saying he lost in 2020.
Her “strength” is her ability to fast talk on TV. Not sure what else.
They used Covid to cheat and steal,
************
No doubt imo that Covid played a part. The normal voting
process was disrupted in many parts of the country. Mail
ballots were used which imo got many votes that would not
have been made if normal procedures had been used. Under
lock down it’s easy to sit at home, fill out a ballot and
drop in it the mail.
History is history and should be used for learning. If not
then don’t expect changes to occur out of the blue yonder.
Trump shouldn’t employ her in the future, IMO. Her husband despises Trump, and the media loves quoting him.
Don’t bet against it. I would not put anything pats them. Unless it was good and decent.
My theory presumes Trump was well-known to Fr Rutler who is a mild Catholic celebrity in NYC (he was frequently on EWTN and had his own show, Christ in the City; Fr Rutler was recently accused of sexual abuse and a bunch of related nonsense and was cleared). By well-known, I mean Rutler probably know a LOT about Trump that only connected Manhattanites know. Thus, he wasn't just some random Priest who knew about the mythological Trump.
Canon Law says, essentially, that Priests CAN hear confessions from Baptized non-Catholics. There seems to be some ambiguity about the Priest being able to grant absolution in this case, but for my thinking that's irrelevant.
I've been to Fr Rutler's masses, and he's heard my confession. The man is a walking eneyclopedia of history, Catholicism, and he is a brilliant homilist and public speaker. He is no-nonsense, he doesn't waste time, he doesn't sugar coat, but he IS fair.
So, wrapping it all together, I suspect Kellyanne brought Trump to Fr Rutler, with Trump expecting a nice, simple blessing. My theory is Rutler unpacked Trump like no man of faith had EVER unpacked him - not like a dressing down, but like how sword is forged with heat. Fr Rutler then revealed the greatness that MAY be possible but only with acknowledgement of humanity AND desire for personal change. Trump took the offer. Rutler blessed him, and the rest is history.
Rutler has vocally denied the allegations when the investigation was ongoing. He wrote in a letter back in November of 2020. He wrote, “A woman security guard who was temporarily assigned to provide security at our parish at the time of the election has alleged that on one occasion I improperly touched her. Responsible authorities are investigating her allegations. I strongly deny this allegation, which I maintain is incoherent and painful to my reputation and inconsistent with how I have conducted myself in fifty years of ministerial service without any accusation of misbehavior.”
He not only denies the specific allegation of improper touching, but “strongly” denies it.
Is it better to strongly deny an allegation of this sort, rather than merely to deny it? 🤔
Did he gone further and denied any of the “related nonsense”? Those allegations were very specific and, shall we say, somewhat McCarrick-esque. Nonsense, maybe, but only if plausibly denied.
The idea that McCarrick-esque behavior is okay as long as it doesn’t involve boys below a certain age is getting a little long in the tooth, wouldn’t you say?
Or are you taking the dropped charges as truth?
