Kellyanne Conway presses Trump for ‘fewer insults’ in bid for ‘winning formula’
The Washington Examiner ^ | 08/13/2024 | Emily Hallas

Posted on 08/13/2024 10:57:46 AM PDT by thegagline

Former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway joined the chorus of GOP strategists who want former President Donald Trump to change his tone on the campaign trail.

Conway told Fox Business anchor Larry Kudlow during an interview on Monday that her former boss needs to adapt his rhetoric to produce a “winning formula” against Vice President Kamala Harris.

“The winning formula for President Trump is very plain to see,” Conway proclaimed. “It’s fewer insults, more insights, and that policy contrast.”

The GOP strategist worked closely with Trump for three years before retiring from her role as counselor to the president in August 2020.

If President Trump would just contrast the policies, he’ll win!” Conway added. “Because he has a 2-to-1 advantage over Biden-Harris on the economy and inflation, on the border, on Israel and Hamas, on the key issues that are important to people.”

***

Conway isn’t the only GOP strategist worried that Trump’s stabs on Harris could detract from his presidential ambitions.

Republican pollster Frank Luntz is among others who have suggested Trump’s “persona” is hurting his campaign.

*** Conway was rumored to have had a fallout with Trump insiders after the former president picked Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) to be his running mate. Over a dozen MAGA insiders allegedly accused the former White House counselor of fueling negative press about Vance after the Ohio Republican was launched as Trump’s No. 2.

However, the ex-White House adviser planted herself firmly in the Trump camp during her interview with Kudlow. Deriding Harris for being “afraid” to speak to the media, Conway touted Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and claimed the GOP leader had “the best opportunity” to win the 2024 presidential election.

There’s No army of Republicans to go out and frame the issues.

They sit on the sideline. In fact, Biden’s (and by extension Harris’) only success they can pitch is the Republicans going along with all their programs.

The Dems wouldn’t want any part of the duo if they failed to get through all their “free” giveaways and woke pork.

Right. People keep saying focus on the issues.

Well, I think the biggest issue facing us right now is the fact that the government overrun with disgusting scumbags - and you just can’t talk about that issue without hurling some insults.

Meaning what weight does your like and respect have to do with others view of her.
Is your truth, per se, supposed to be everyone's truth by default?

I wonder why you can’t find a Democrat on the face of the Earth that asked Biden or Harris or Pelosi to stop insulting Trump.

“KAMALA CHAMELEON”
A descriptor isn’t an insult.”

It’s childish and petty. While it might get cheers at the Trump rallies, it does nothing to draw in some of the few remaining persuadable voters.

How about “Border Czar failure” or “Inflation architect”. Those are accurate and speak to her incompetence without being personally insulting.

Excuse me, sir-but this is just a discussion-please don’t insult those who do not agree with you-or resort to name calling. The GOPe has been courting and catering to the fainting couch women since the Bush days-it did notwork then and is far less likely to work now-those women would only vote for a repub if it were Liz Cheney...

If you had said you liked her position on the issue then that would be an opinion.

It's what you said, not anything that I said.
I merely deciphered what you obviously meant in what you plainly said.
