Kellyanne Conway becomes the first female to successfully run GOP presidential campaign
Fox4kc ^ | November 9, 2016 | CNN Wire

Kellyanne Conway’s real house in Alpine, New Jersey, looks eerily like the one NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” imagined in a parody earlier this month. The bit fantasized what a day off would be like for her — rollerblading, painting, doing yoga — only to be constantly interrupted by demands for television appearances so that she can try to explain fictitious off-the-wall comments from her boss.

In the few short months since becoming Trump’s campaign manager, Conway has become a constant fixture on television — laying out his agenda, talking points and often trying to smooth over Trump controversies. In dedicating a whole sketch to her, SNL picked up on a question many people are fascinated by: Does she believe what she says when she defends Trump?

“I think it’s unfair to say I’m always dutifully defending him. I look at my job, Dana, as explaining positions on issues, why he’s running for president and why people should vote for him,” said Conway, 49, who will turn 50 on Inauguration Day.

Conway has only been on the job since August. She is Trump’s third campaign manager, but the first woman ever to run the campaign of a Republican nominee. She told us that when Trump asked her to take the job, her being a woman was beside the point.

“I wasn’t hired because of my gender. But it’s a special responsibility,” said Conway, “I want to do right, apart from my gender — I want to do right as a campaign manager.”

What a wonderful woman and hard worker. Trump owes her a great debt of gratitude. I saw Kellyanne making the rounds on the talk shows and especially liked how she handled Jake Tapper of CNN:

She can pretty much write her own ticket for any campaign at any level in the future.

Kellyanne did a great job, with grace, dignity and a sharp tongue when needed. She often left me chuckling when she dispatched some idiot with a few short sentences. Kellyanne be very proud, you and your team saved a country.

I believe she was the first woman to run the campaign for a presidential GOP nominee, and the first woman to run a winning presidential campaign—period.

Yes, she was. She handled all her interviews (many with hostile “press”) masterfully. She was a great pick. Another nod to Trump’ judgment.

Nary a word will be spoken about her success by the libs.

Hopefully, there is a very high position in the Trump admin for her.

Why would she want one? She's a professional political operative who has just managed the biggest upset in our political history. She can write her own ticket on any political campaign coming up and make millions doing so. Nothing in a Trump administration could match that.

True.

But it’s hard to let go of her.
