There were two types of people who attended CPAC in March 2016 and gave Speaker Paul Omnibus Ryan (the former chair of the budget, well, actually, non-budget committee) a standing ovation.
Type one was the professional political class, the UniParty membership, the GOPe; those who happily welcomed Omnibus and who gleefully ignore the seventh spending of the nearly $1 trillion, one-time 2009 stimulus bill.
Type two, was those who are overcome with battered conservative syndrome and see nothing wrong with giving thanks to their abuser.
One of those attendees was the former partner of GOPe mouthpiece Frank Luntz, and current campaign manager for Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway.
Whether Conway is the hand placing the scorpion into the bed sheets of Trump, or whether she is the scorpion itself, is yet to be determined. However, one thing appears quite clear, she was not put into the Trump campaign to ensure his election. Exactly the opposite appears true.
Conways current action, the too-cute-by-half schtick on Trumps immigration policy, is factually undermining the Trump campaign. Then again, shouldnt this be expected when fellow consulting traveler Luntz and herself hold the same professional immigration objectives outlined in their historic support for Marco gang-of-eight Rubio.
Its well known, the UniParty has a collective immigration agenda, amnesty (under various comprehensive parseltongue auspices), and a quasi-open border approach granting virtually unlimited immigration use policies.
Everyone would be very wise to remember the Senate Gang-of-Eight bill almost passed the house in 2014 because Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy, Ryan were all actively working toward the vote in June when Cantor was primaried by Dave Brat. Brats defeat of Cantor stopped the vote less than 72 hours before it was scheduled to take place.
In the buildup to the June 2014 House vote, Frank Luntz and the various Fox tentacles were in full alignment with the GOPe to pass the grand Obamacare-like usurpation against the will of the electorate.
The U.S. CoC, Wall Street, the people who pay for the Conways of the political class, had it all worked out.
Back in August of 2015, when Jeb was still the chosen choice and when the rise of Trump was the paramount GOPe/UniParty concern, another of Conways professional consulting allies, Alex Castellanos shared exactly how the Trump insurgency could be destroyed:
[ ] The best way to do it is how Brutus killed Caesar. Get real close, snuggle up, and shiv him in the ribs.
If by shive him in the ribs Castellanos was referring to having Trumps campaign manager directly and unilaterally begin to contradict the very platform that gained Donald Trump so much enthusiastic support, then it appears the Castellanos plan is well underway.
In the past four days, it appears Mrs. Conway -a long term advocate for the GOPe position has begun to undermine her own candidate:
Conway attempted to clarify Trumps stance on immigration, saying he wants to ensure the law is enforced . to be determined, she says.
What he supports is to make sure that we enforce the law, that we are respectful of those Americans who are looking for well-paying jobs, and that we are fair and humane for those who live among us in this country, she said.
It appears Mrs. Conway is quite adept at creating just the right size crack in her candidates armor that will allow the circling MSM to drive their wedge lustfully into the opening and provide themselves the demoralizingly joyful we told you so to Donald Trump supporters. Isolate-Ridicule-Marginalize ~Saul Alinsky
And Conways veiled efforts are not going unnoticed:
Mickey Kaus, an overwhelmingly decent man, is being overly generous with the use of suggestive generalities. What Kellyanne Conway is actually doing is far more damaging, far more demoralizing.
And with the 25+ year political pedigree of Mrs. Conway in mind, and knowing her rolodex is jammed full with a whos-who of the professional UniPartyparty apparatus, and knowing she is a walking gatekeeper for Billionaire Robert Mercer, well it aint because shes new or naive to this process Conway knows exactly what shes doing.
and none of it is good:
And it aint just Mickey, Byron and us noticing:

Some political followers who also travel through the deep weeds have suggested that Conway is testing out false flags to gauge the potential severity for backlash.
Nope. I just cant extend her that much credit . it just sounds too much like falling back on the old battered conservative syndrome hopes and prayers they wont do it again, etc.
Oh hell yes they will. They always do.
Breaking the cycle of battered conservative syndrome means you accept things as they are, not as you wish them to be.
If you accept things as they are the fact is Mrs. Kellyanne Conway has spent her entire political lifetime advocating for, and being paid for, positions that are entirely popular amid the donor class and the professional DC politburo . then, you must also accept grandmas odd adage: a leopard doesnt change its spots.
Or for the sake of this analogy, Aesops fable is more appropriate:
scorpion-frog
A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back.
The frog asks, How do I know you wont sting me? The scorpion says, Because if I do, I will die too.
The frog is satisfied, and they set out. But in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp Why?
Replies the scorpion: Its my nature
Trump Frog.
Shiv delivered.
Its her nature
The lawless amongst us need to get it together. We are a country with laws or we are not. Trump needs to set a goal of say 1 million deportations per year. That is the way to go.
If you were really prescient you’d have won the lottery by now.
I trust Trump will enforce the laws on illegal immigration. You can believe what ya want. Folks have been telling me for months what “Trump is going to do” or “this is what will happen”. So far they’ve all been wrong.
Vote Trump 2016
The USA is doomed then.
The only reason I can imagine Trump picking Conway is just to tick off Ted Cruz.
She truly is amoral. She isn’t a Trump fan...she’s a Kelly Ann fan.
Agree. Just wait and see. The immigration deal has to be a compromise between the boldest action that can be taken within the law. The last thing Trump wants or needs is to become hamstrung with a Web of lawsuits that would make what they did to Palin seem trivial, unable to get a ything done at all. Risk of thistle increases if the crappy Rs get replaced by slightly crappie Ds in the Senate who will join forces to block his every move.
Winning is job #1 but not at the cost of marginalizing his credibility. Now is the time to fine-tune it and get the messaging right.
If you can't kill the Beast, you possess it.
But then again -- instead of killing it, why not just TAKE IT BACK??
Nobody ia going to take away the citizenship of those who were born here and who we have thus already declared citizens.
But rightly nobody feels sorry for the children of executives who have been stationed in Japan, for example, while growing up—and then have to leave when their parents’ gig is up and they have to go home too.
And those are legal citizens who have been paying more than their own way. So there is absolutely no reason to feel sorry for children of illegals being taken back home with them. Even just the idea that such simple enforcement isn’t humane or fair is the result of propaganda bought and promulgated on society by Dems who want more leftest votes and employers who want taxpayers to subsidize their low-wage immigrant employees.
And once legalization is through, the camel’s nose and both humps are already in the tent. Full citizenship certainly will soon follow.
This is more media manipulation. Sundance is barking up the wrong treehouse I’m afraid. The president doesn’t have the authority to change immigration law. Even Herr Obama has tried and the courts have slapped him.
Trump will build the wall and enforce current immigration policy. Anything beyond that he will need the support of congress.
It’s ideas like yours that have turned Occupied California into what it is today.
With Trump, the Dems, and the GOPe united, amnesty will sail through Congress and Trump will oversee its implementation.
My sense is the Trump campaign is attempting to make a shift away from some of the more extreme rhetoric of his immigration policy, specifically the deportation force.
All part of an overarching effort to make Trump appear more appealing to the demographics he’s currently not doing well with.
It is what I have feared from her hire
yep. Keeping the DREAMERS will be be a huge mistake. They are in the top 5 of America-hating and contempt for Americans and must be forced to return by an EXTREME PROBLEM gaining employment.
Sorry, I’m not buying this.
The notion that Mary-Ann Conway/Fitzpatrick a saboteur for the GOPe is ridiculous. Frankly, I can't be sure whether the author is just too paranoid, or playing for the other side. (Btw -- How many folks here at one juncture or another were supporting Cruz? Yes, JUST like Mary-Ann? Just sayin'.)
Mary-Ann Conway/Fitzpatrick is yet and still on OUR side: TRUMP'S. Her job has always been to gauge how best to frame her GOP candidate as best as she could as a professional political consultant. Before Trump shook things up there were only the DEMS or GOP for whom to work.
Anyone who witnessed her CNN/Don Lemon mugging under fire noted that she was poised, well-reasoned, and was able to hold her (Trump's) ground.
Perhaps you mean Kellyanne?
Here is THE "Mary-Ann"
BOTTOM LINE:
IMMIGRATION LAWS WILL BE APPLIED ACCORDING TO TRUMP. PERIOD.
I guess there was something subliminal about "Mary-Ann" instead of "Kelly-Anne." Could have been worse; I could have written, "Marry-Ann." :-P
Yes, they will they keep their citizenship, so of course they stay. And their parents who are illegals will be allowed to stay. If they have illegal alien siblings, they will be allowed to stay.
This is all speculation on my part, but I believe it will become fact.
