Interesting tweet re: George and Kelly Conway

Link to tweet

Conway's have Trump's blessing. George infiltrated NeverTrump last spring to get support for upcoming Kavanaugh nom. If Trump really was angry, he'd fire Kellyanne & slam George himself. Sending Eric out to "fake fight" w/them is choreography. CNN has a seat waiting for Kellyann

all of this is Kabuki theater. Ignore both of the Conways and what the designated Trump was sent out to say about them to give the appearance they are all mad at each other. George isn't someone the press covered before & shouldn't make him a celebrity now. You're being played.



Cheri Jacobus is a neverTrumper. Her bio on Twitter: Former GOP. PR consultant, TV pundit, writer. Ran GOP campaigns, congressional staffer, RNC, fmr adjunct professor @GSPMgwu. NeverTrump, editor A House United

1. Sounds like a

very republican thing to do

[tinrobot]

2. A plot line straight out of The Apprentice

Sounds rather plausible and reality TV-esque

[octoberlib]

4. Jacobus said George used to represent the Clinton accusers

and he was the one who staged them showing up at the second Clinton/Trump debate. NeverTrumpers have meetings in DC every month and George started showing up out of the blue in May before the Kavanaugh nomination was announced.

6. Or WWE

Will George do a heel turn?

3. Cheri Jacobus is likewise a "neverTrumper" (supposedly)... Exactly what is the logic in Trump doing

so, given he's hardly driven by more than immediacy, vendettas, and anger? Since when does he play "3dimensional chess"...

Sorry, this makes no sense whatsoever to me. What am I missing?

8. Why haven't there been multiple tweet streams from Trump slamming George

like Trump has done on every other person who's attacked him ? Instead crickets. People on Twitter asked her the same question. One person asked her who benefits. Her reply: The Conways. But George infiltrated NeverTrump last spring in preparation for Kavanaugh, trying to soften some of them up so he could get them to support Kav later. Hate to say it but some in the group rolled over for him.


Trump specifically wanted Kavanaugh because he was a fixer.


Don't know if any of it's true just thought it was interesting. Personally , I think the Conways are running a game because they want to be employable after Trump.

10. I think there are quite a few that Trump won't attack, but w/ respect to Kavanagh & all Federalist

picks, why wouldn't the NeverTrumpers back them? Independent of Trump, I mean. If it had been Jeb Bush or Kasich or any of the others who became President they'd likely have picked most of the same judicial nominees, right?


I think Kelley and George might be shrewd enough to devise something, but I still don't get why they'd NEED to.

13. Yeah, I'm skeptical, too.

5. Jacobius

So Jacobius is a "writer" who doesn't know how to form plurals. Good for her.

[Cha]

14. I noticed that, too. a lot of

people seem to do that. they go .." the Obama's" when it's "the Obamas"!

[Dorian Gray]

15. If

I am typing on my phone, autocorrect puts in the apostrophe when I pluralize words every damn time! So unless I'm editing carefully, I make that same mistake often. It's really annoying. (And I know the difference between possessive and plural nouns.)

[Cha]

17. I didn't realize

phones do that since I don't post on mine.

[Dorian Gray]

18. It happens to me in text messages

I don't post to twitter (or here) from my phone!

But it's a possibility. If I were someone who wrote a lot of pieces, though, I'd like to think I'd proofread my tweets before hitting send.

[Cha]

19. Oh yeah, we have to

watch our text messages.. they have a mind of their own. lol

[marylandblue]

7. Don't really see what she is saying

There are a few NeverTrumpers. There are no NeverKavanaughs. If the NeverTrumpers thought Kavanaugh or Conway were problems, the time to say that was 3 months ago.

9. I've always had a side-eyed view of the guy...

neither are intelligent enough to be Maitlin and Carville. And I'm not surprised either. The knives have been drawn, and don't think for a second that what the legislatures in several states are doing are the only ones trying to wound us. It is upon us to dodge the strikes and use all of our power to save our democracy.

[JI7]

11. I think the conways are in it together for those career

[applegrove]

12. Yes I think they are placing their bets in both republican camps hoping

when one side dominates and kills off the other they will still be a power couple in Washington.

[Dorian Gray]

16. Yeah

I agree with this.

It's all self interest, not a deal with the president. (Though if he stays in power, they wouldn't mind it if HE believed it was a deal with him.)

[applegrove]

20. We are all speculating. It could be both. Or neither.
