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....

Kellyanne just couldn’t accept a compliment from Jennifer when she called her a racist white nationalist woman hater who ran a successful negative campaign. That could have been my favorite part of the Harvard event. Palmieri was an obnoxious liberal with her I’m the smartest person in the room attitude and Kellyanne would have none of it. She was and is awesome.

It could be in the form of a new Cable Network—TRUMP NEWS
or it could be a chain of Radio Stations—Trump doing Fireside chats. Or it could be a chain of Newspapers (Kinda like USA Today) Telling the Truth! or Maybe a chain of Magazines? How about newsreels on the net? With all sorts of news and events. It could just expand OANN into a national base (Put Sarah Palin in Charge?) —We need not have the NYTimes filter and distort all that Trump or his people say—CNN should be banned from the White House. I believe Trump could make it pay as well.

Well, so far it's OAN, who showed virtually every Trump rally, and presents so much otherwise unreported news, that you can't take it. (and could use a sugar daddy)

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

LOL! I love FR but I picture this as having direct ties to Trump's WH and being set up to get the news out w/o relying on the LSM and also reducing the amount of time and energy Trump would have to spend on the Bully Pulpit.

Like Cheney said to the LSM folks - "We don't need you guys anymore".....
