Thanks for the link to the original Politico story.  I read it and I agree that it's worth reading this lengthy story (even with its "gratuitous snark" comments) you eloquently warned us about!

I love the insider knowledge of how political operatives work. This was illuminating. And the story showed Susan Wiles' savvy at working with the press and other influencers.

There are also some fabulous full-screen pictures that come with the story.  All in all, this is good journalism and it may very well be that Susan encouraged the article be published because it will appeal to women on the fence who think Trump is too domineering.

If I'm right about that, we're bound to hear more from Susan Wiles in the months ahead.

She sounds to me in a way like Samuel Adams. I dictated an audiobook last year LINK: "Life and Times of Joseph Warren" written in 1868 by Richard Frothingham, and it set me off on other books about that era.

Samuel Adams is known today as a "rabble rouser" but back then, he was mostly a behind the scenes person. He preferrred the shadows, even if he was Joseph Warren's right hand man. Samuel Adams was far more likely to be working in the dark back rooms of a tavern than being on the front lines of a mob facing off the Tories or British army.
