Why Kellyanne Conway hates Mitt Romney
The Washington Post ^

Posted on 11/29/2016 9:00:07 AM PST by detective

Kellyanne Conway made one thing very clear in her Sunday interview with “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd: She’s not a fan of Mitt Romney. Like, at all.

Here’s how she responded to Todd’s question about her feelings about the 2012 Republican presidential nominee:

People feel betrayed to think that Governor Romney, who went out of his way to question the character and the intellect and the integrity of Donald Trump, now our president-elect, would be given the most significant Cabinet post of all, secretary of state. And that is a decision that only one man can make, President-elect Donald Trump. I will respect it, and I will support it 1,000 percent. But I’m reflecting what the grass roots are saying

They feel a bit betrayed that you can get a Romney back in there after everything he did. We don’t even know if he voted for Donald Trump. He and his consultants were nothing but awful to Donald Trump for a year.

When Mitt finished vilifying Trump during the campaign, I for one was astonished at how abusive, denigrating his language was...who was this man?

What astonished me is that this anger was never directed at Obama over his 8 years, ever. That told me how far down the toilet bowl this country has gone.

This is a misleading story. Kellyanne isn't speaking for herself but the millions of deplorables that voted for Trump. They realize he's a snake.

I cannot stand Romney the Snake, but I do believe he is going to be our next Sec. of State...strap on the seat belts folks, and I of all people on this board hate this idea so much, living in Utah and knowing what a POS he is, and why Trump would tap the two faced, back stabbing, dirty, filthy, phony, useless, false Mormon, is beyond me, but I think this is what your going to see...

I don’t know that much about Mormons but thanks to Romney and his flock of magic underwear knee-jerkers, I’m beginning to hate them.

I have no idea myself if the writer is on to something, or simply imagining possibilities.

OTOH, TRUMP will not be duped by the likes of Romney the “betrayer”, but will use whatever it is that he is after from Romney to his own advantage for the sake of the country, I believe.

If Romney would agree to such a thing is another question.
It is Ann Romney who seems to run Mitt from the inside out. With one glance at Mitt, it’s clear that she’s the one with all the testosterone between the two. If she is satisfied with title and position without power, but for Mitt acting as a fixer, then there you are.

Trump at his finest. No way Kellyanne spoke so harshly on her own.

What a pantload of crap!

On Nov. 27, Kellyanne tweeted:

“I did tell him privately. And I’ll respect his decision. Point is the volume & intensity of grassroots resistance to Romney is breathtaking”

How they (and some of you) get “hatred” out of this is amazing.

It’s rather sad to say “Read the NYT to get the truth on this”...but:

They have it right. Wish people would stop projecting their own Romney hate onto Kellyanne who didn’t say what you say she said.

“If plausible, then TRUMP puts in the best restructuring and gutting man for that job”

I’m sure there are 1000’s of people that are as good or better than Romney for this kind of task.

By Trump’s pics, it’s becoming more apparent that the Kabuki party (The repubikans in congress) have made it clear that they intend to obstruct Trump’s agenda.

I don’t disagree. I just can’t name anyone myself who is better known for results in corporate break ups and restructuring, but do I want to see Romney anywhere near policy or power otherwise... NO. Never. He is a traitor to conservatives, as well as to TRUMP, but claims the mantle falsely.

Just ick.

Romney has proven over and over again that he is a lying backstabber.
He was behind the savaging of Sarah Palin in 2008.
He was behind the NeverTrump and Egg McMuffin nonsense.
He deserves his political banishment.

More proof this is BS comes from (of all places) The Daily Beast:

“Kellyanne Conway would like to make a few things crystal clear and set the record straight:
.
She doesn’t hate Mitt Romney, even though she has spent the past four days, including during three Washington Sunday show appearances, passionately enumerating all the reasons why Trump’s formerly harsh antagonist—the guy who conspicuously didn’t vote for Trump and attacked him as a “con man” and a “fake”—would be an unsuitable choice for secretary of state.”

I just posted above this that I thought we were going to have to accept the Snake, but it seems when I say something like that, the opposite happens, it’s so weird...

I think the reason this has been drawing out is to get Rudy’s business transferred over, and have things drawn up, etc. etc. etc...would that not be a GREAT pick???!!!

After assuring us during his campaign for president that he was for securing the border and deporting criminal aliens, this time out he attacked anyone who was for securing the border and deporting criminal aliens.
*******************************

Almost immediately after he lost he was backing amnesty.

He was lying during the campaign, he had no intention of stopping the illegal alien inundation.

She’s not a fan of Mitt Romney. ................... I’m not a fan of many things, but I don’t hate them. If you do not march in step with the Liberal media, I would guess it means you are a hater?
