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.

If trump continues with insults I guarantee we don’t win

Hit Kamala on her past record and I guarantee we win

Trump already has support of his base and most republicans

He needs to get the independents vote

He won’t get the independents with the same formula as with his base

His strategy to get independents needs to be policy and not personal insults

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.


Hear, hear!!

Their tactics have become sneakier, but, obvious just the same.

Hope they receive the same, righteous Zots, as did many of the trolls of the last two elections.

That’s true. Of course the fact that they were RINOS is irrelevant. I didn’t vote for either one knowing full it was a de facto vote for Obama. Meh, so sue me

She probably doesn't need a low paying White House job anyway.

Former Trump Adviser Kellyanne Conway Lobbies for Ukrainian Interests

"The former campaign aide indicated in a Justice Department filing that she will be paid $50,000 a month by an oligarch to seek support for Ukraine."

Off message and continually behind in the polls...

I see you are still believing the polls.

I asked you yesterday how you can trust the polls given the cheating.

Agree, the base is sewn up. Target Indies and females with simple messaging on top 3 topics. Use TV ads because these low info voters don't get information elsewhere.

Independents desired policy is removal of elites from the Swamp, building the Wall and America First In All Things.

This is what terrifies the GOPe. Populism.

It is sweeping the world.

The main media would like nothing more than to focus only on Trump’s insults, nicknames and jokes...

The corrupt media insults without evidence Trump 24/7...

instead of reporting on his policy plans, meant to rescue and repair America from Uncle Joe’s Slash, Butcher and Burn methods we now live under.

The main media will never accurately report Trump's policy plans.

Are you really that badly informed? Kellyanne Conway is the only woman to ever manage a winning presidential campaign.

Who was the dimwit who advised Trump to debate Biden in June? I’m sure it wasn’t Kellyanne; she’s a political pro.

As things stand, Trump is doing his best to blow a sure-win election, but the Harris-Walz ticket is so bad Trump might win anyway. I certainly hope so.

“Kellyanne; she’s a political pro”

With her latest Ukraine antics she has morphed into a political ho.

“Women in particular don’t like the crappiness “

“Crappiness” is a matter of opinion. One woman’s crappiness is another woman’s boldness and truth.

And I don’t know any of those “women in particular”. Sounds like someone is buying into the liberal narrative, believing it’s a fact.

Because the election is more than a cold analytical comparison of policy positions. It is also an evaluation of two people. Kamala is a communist in upbringing, word and deed. She is an immoral whore who gave it up in exchange for jobs. She is an abusive a-hole who imprisoned men for doing what she laughed about doing herself. She deliberately flooded the border with probably 20 million invaders. She’s a rabid anti-white racist. She is a fake... she grew up in Berkeley, Africa and Canada. She spent as much of her formative years out of America than in it. But she still does her black southern sing-song preacher accent. Was that accent prevalent in Canada? in Berkley? In Oakland?

No, this is a fight about much more than cold policy positions. It is about the people. One is decent, loves America and Americans. One is a lying immoral childless communist skank.

The fact that we are hearing the wailing for Trump to only speak on issues means he is hitting them where it hurts. And they want him to stop.

“McCain and Romney stuck to the issues and were very careful not to call Obama any names “

McCain even said we had nothing to fear from Obama as president.

Kellyanne Conway: We didn't need the Russians to feed us dirt on Clinton because she's 'a treasure box of negative' information

Is that the genteel way of saying she's full of "it"?

I don't know it all, but I remember enough.
