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 was a different opponent in 2016. Hillary was much better known for better and for worse. She evoked a emotional, visceral reaction. Kamala is more of a below the radar candidate who has the cover of pretending to be ADOS.
Different opponent, different strategy.
“They are divorced.”
They separated in 2023 and announced they would be divorced, but I’m not seeing that they ever actually went through with it.
Some have said it’s because of their RC religion.
I believe Kellyanne is working on behalf of her own bank account now.
Yes.
Not by enough to overcome the fraud. Women in particular don't like the crappiness and he'll need those votes. So why do it?
Non-issues: The size of crowds, e.g. mine is bigger than yours.
Trump knows what he’s doing.
America loves winners. Not whiners.
She thinks that the democrat media will frocus on Trump’s policies if he stops insulting the democrat fascists. LOL!
The media has never reported on Trump policies, except to insult Trump.
Kelly is a nitwit.
She should join Trump’s campaign.
I would be glad if she became the Campaign Manager.
She could withdraw the Ukrainian gig with a stroke of a pen.
She is good and a proven winner, in everything but marriage and her crazy kid.
She WAS Trump’s campaign manager. She was closer to Trump during his campaign than anyone else. She also runs her own consulting business. Certainly more experienced and competent than anyone here.
That’s right. If the polls say anything we don’t like , they’re bogus.
Your concerns are duly noted.
Let's go Brandon didn't work out well? /sarcasm
“She could withdraw the Ukrainian gig with a stroke of a pen.”
The slime is very hard to get off even with a super scrubber.
:-)
Yes, and the uninformed, know-it-alls have no clue as to the fact she was Trump’s campaign manager.
Because it's fun and funny.
Just like Let's Go Brandon was fun and funny.
If Frank Luntz doesn’t know how to advise Trump, no one does
State workers never finish the job.
Appeal to authority much?
The NeverTrump Concern Trolls on FR know that if they openly bash President Trump, they’ll be thrown off the site, so they’ve adopted a tactic of knit picking everything President Trump does and then clutching at their pearls and feigning concern.
Nothing new. They’ve used this tactic before and we saw right through it.
Let Trump be Trump. He’s won two elections by being himself.
The barfly speaks...
Excellent post.
We need some pearls to pass out as gifts as we get into election season.
:-)
P.S. I worked on campaigns back in the day. The concern trolls and hyper critics were quickly identified and kicked off the staff. We always needed to be fighting trim.
