New pro-Trump group takes form, with Kellyanne Conway possibly at the helm
The Washington Post's Post Politics ^ | December 5, 2016 | Matea Gold and Ed O'Keefe

Senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said an interview Monday that she is considering leading a new group being formed that will provide “a surround-sound super structure” to bolster the new administration’s political and policy goals.

The new entity, whose legal structure has not yet been determined, would serve as the outside hub to support President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda. Discussions about the formation of the group have been underway for several weeks.

People familiar with the planning said that the as-yet unnamed group has a working motto: "Unleash the Potential," a moniker likely to be used by Trump and his supporters in the coming weeks to describe the work of his administration and the Republican-led Congress in the first part of 2017. They are preparing to enact sweeping changes to the nation's tax, immigration and health-care policies.

Conway told The Washington Post that she is still deciding whether to join Trump at the White House or run the organization, which will seek to harness his most fervent supporters in political and policy fights. Republicans will have a smaller, but still dominant majority in the House and will control 52 seats in the Senate. On legislation, however, the Senate filibuster is still a factor, requiring at least 60 senators to vote to clear procedural hurdles and move to final passage.

Conway said it will be important for the organization to be run by someone “close to the president” who understands Trump’s priorities....

There already exists such a group. It’s called Freerepublic.

Shades of Obama for America. I love the idea. Our media have failed and Free Republic, though effective in its niche, is a niche player.

I suspect she’s thinking more along the line of a paying gig.

This group will be just like the group Obama formed after his first election. My guess is there will be plenty of money from people like the Mercers. It’s gonna be the war of the billionaires except for one thing .... KellyAnne will have the truth on her side.

This is going to scare the crap out of the MSM and the DNC. They know the lies they have been telling us for decades and now the veil will be lifted. Americans will realize that the left and the right have been taking the public for fools all the while destroying their families futures for illegals and refugees.

Many Americans that didn’t vote for Trump will come around (his approval numbers are already soaring compared to before the election) and they will be mad...and if Trump gets half of what he wants, they will be mad and their children will be mad for a generation!

There should be some way that Freepers can team up together at the local level to support grass-roots efforts. I am loathe to trust big-money over the long haul.

I have a feeling KellyAnne will leverage everyone.

A working motto: “Unleash the Potential”

Change it to: “Unleash Your Potential”

Make it about exceptional individualism.

Just what is needed. Start raising the war chest now — or get buried as the Republicans did in 1994.

Just read where Susan Molinari, former Rep from NY, is the VP for Public Policy (head lobbyist) for Google. Her father Guy was part of the Never Trump movement last Spring but came back to endorse Trump in September.

JUst something to watch.

I would hope there would be a prominent position in the Trump administration for Conway - she’s articulate, obviously smart and obviously a strong supporter of Trump’s agenda.

Sounds too much like a Tony Robbins Seminar.

This is to counter Obama’s community organizing after he leaves.
