Thread: Trump Axes Immigration Speech As Rumors Swirl of Coming Deportation Flip-Flop

OH MY GOD, Kellyanne is on Anderson Cooper making a total fool of herself. She refuses to answer the questions and was actually stammering on her own words. Embarassing. She's trying to push her agenda, not Trump's.

Trump, you've got to take the time to watch her interviews. She is a total embarrassment and completely misrepresenting everything you've said for a year. I wrote in another post when it came to trade, she'd be a disaster, and she just stumbled on what TPP is. Oh my God.

Bye kellyanne - she is not good enough for Trump's campaign, especially this late in the game.

Kellyanne Elizabeth Conway

born January 20, 1967, is a Republican campaign manager, strategist and pollster. She became campaign manager for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on August 17, 2016.^[1] She is president and CEO of The Polling Company / WomanTrend, and has been a regular political commentator on CNN, Fox News, Fox Business, and more. She has been a guest on shows such as Good Morning America, Real Time with Bill Maher, Meet the Press and Hannity.

Career[edit]

Before entering politics, Conway pursued a career in law. After receiving her B.A. in Political Science from Trinity College, Washington, D.C. (now Trinity Washington University), she earned a law degree from George Washington University Law Center and then clerked for a judge in Washington, D.C. She also spent four years as an adjunct professor at George Washington University Law Center.^[2]

After practicing law, Conway entered the polling business with Wirthlin Group, a GOP polling firm which worked for Ronald Reagan. She also worked for a period for Luntz Research Companies before founding her own firm, The Polling Company, in 1995. Among the political figures Conway has worked for are Congressman Jack Kemp; former Vice President Dan Quayle; Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; Senator Fred Thompson; and Congressman (now Indiana Governor) Mike Pence.^[2] She worked as the senior advisor to Newt Gingrich during his 2012 United States presidential election campaign.^[3] In August 2015, she became the president of the Promise I Super-PAC which supported the 2016 presidential campaign of Ted Cruz and is part of a group of 4 super-PACs supporting Cruz. Its main funding was 11 million dollars from hedgefund manager Robert Mercer.^[4]

In addition to her political opinion research work, Conway has directed demographic and attitudinal survey projects for trade associations and private companies, including American Express, ABC News,Major League Baseball, and Ladies Home Journal.^[2]

Her firm The Polling Company also includes WomanTrend, a research and consulting division created to better connect corporate America with the female consumer. WomanTrend monitors female consumers as well as a multitude of current and prospective lifestyle, home, work, entertainment, technological, and generational trends affecting all consumers.^[2]

Conway has been featured frequently as a commentator on polling and the political scene, having appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, and the Fox News Channel, in addition to various radio programs. She has received the Washington Post's “Crystal Ball” award for accurately predicted elections.^[2] In 2012, in an interview with the Family Research Council, Conway compared Republican criticism of Todd Akin (R-MO), one of Conway's clients, to the siege in 1993 of cult leader David Koresh. An Akin representative said that Conway's comments were "stupid". Conway said she was not comparing Akin to Koresh, but instead comparing the FBI's tactics to force Koresh out with the Republican's tactics to force Akin out of the 2012 election.^[5] Conway also defended Akin's position of opposing a “rape” exception for a hypothetical abortion ban on grounds that women’s bodies had mysterious ways of avoiding conception in cases of “legitimate rape.”^[6]

Conway headed a pro–Ted Cruz super-PAC funded by hedge-fund tycoon Robert Mercer. After Trump won the Republican Presidential nomination, the PAC morphed into the “Defeat Crooked Hillary PAC”.^[6]

On July 1, 2016, Donald Trump announced he hired Conway for a senior advisory position.^[7] Conway was expected to advise Trump on how to better appeal to female voters.^[7]

When the Trump campaign hired Conway, it referred to her as “widely regarded as an expert on female consumers and voters.^[8]” Conway became the Trump campaign's campaign manager in August 2016.^[9] This made her the first woman to run a Republican general election presidential campaign.^[9]

This is supposed to attract "female voters"? I don't think so.

There's a big difference between selling consumer products like AMEX cards and LHJ magazines to women and a straight-talking bombastic political candidate who wants to fix our country.

Trump has stated on Hannity he is going to follow the law and he his softening up his position. He will meet in NY now with NY Hispanic and African-American leaders.
