WTF are so many of you believing some blather from a disgruntled former staffer nobody, excerpted in Vanity Fair? Believe what you want, but it reads like he’s making it up as he’s typing it.
I heard that it was on Drudge as well a few days ago.
People ‘are believing’ for the reasons already outlined above: many here sensed there was something not right about her. Major player in the Trump Administration while at the same time the man she sleeps with trashes the President over and over again.
It’s the Mary Matilin, Captain Cueball nonsense.
I'm with you.
I met Kellyanne (then Fitzpatrick)Conway 20 years ago when I was a recently reformed political agnostic. Her comments hit me like a slap in the face. She was no fan of establishment then and I doubt she is now.
A bunch of rubbish from a never Trumper in Vanity Fair may tickle the private parts of HuffPo readers, but it should not be given any credence.
Bingo! Nice troll bait to bring out the FR rat patrol.
Who here has ever commisserated with your co-workers regarding your demanding, task-oriented, big-ego boss who they all work for as well...raise your hand.
I have initiated, been part of, and heard multiple conversations similar to the one below:
ME: Wow. She called me at home at 1:30 in the morning for some minor thing. I don't think she ever sleeps. Well, she knows that if she calls, I will jump. I hate that mindset.
CO-WORKER: Yeah, she is crazy. And she can completely get on your ass for things like that. Christ, she scares the crap out of me, she is so hot and cold that I think she is bi-polar or something...
ME: Yeah. She gets crazy and a little irrational under pressure. You ever see that movie "The Devil Wears Prada"? That is exactly who she reminds me of...
CO-WORKER: Me too! And she can be a real a**hole when she needs it done, too...
ME: Well, she can be a lunatic, no doubt about that. I wish she would take a chill pill sometimes...
You get the idea.
It is better to have a perfect boss, even tempered, considerate, helpful, etc, but that is often not the hand we are dealt. In the end, if your boss is a contributor towards achieving a result, applying the correct pressure, getting the right resources, etc...you take the good with the bad and go from there.
And it is also better to have subordinates who keep their mouths shut to the outside world, and bitch little or not at all to each other. But that is as unlikely as having the perfect boss.
I don't know Kelly Ann Conway. And if true, she shouldn't even be talking to outsiders like that, ESPECIALLY not the press. But if she does her job whatever it is, and Trump does his job and accepts her efforts as helpful, and employment reaches historic lows while GDP rises at 3-4 percent and conservatives are appointed to the courts, well...who cares what they say to each other, and who cares what scumbag wants to exploit that shop talk so they can make some piddly money on a tell-all book?
I fault the person writing the book more than any comment made by Kellyann Conway. Conway's comments, however ill-advised, may or may not reach wide distribution, but this person's comments will, as we see here. If Cliff Sims had an axe to grind with Kellyanne Conway, he should have strapped on a pair and done that. Period.
And he was a communications staffer? Gee, I wonder if he was the one who was in the middle of a love triangle between two female staffers resulting in a loud argument on the campaign plane as described in Cory Lewandowski's excellent book "Let Trump Be Trump"? Hmm...
And for anything to do with Vanity Fair or the pap within the covers, that speaks for itself.

Why does her husband trash Trump in the media?
I believe him as much as I believed Omarsa. The only difference is that this guy will have a shorter public shelf life and smaller sales for his backstabbers book.
