"SNIP...............
Senior Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said an interview Monday that she is considering leading a new group being formed that will provide a surround-sound super structure to bolster the new administrations political and policy goals.
The new entity, whose legal structure has not yet been determined, would serve as the outside hub to support President-elect Donald Trumps agenda. Discussions about the formation of the group have been underway for several weeks.
People familiar with the planning said that the as-yet unnamed group has a working motto: "Unleash the Potential," a moniker likely to be used by Trump and his supporters in the coming weeks to describe the work of his administration and the Republican-led Congress in the first part of 2017. They are preparing to enact sweeping changes to the nation's tax, immigration and health-care policies.
Conway told The Washington Post that she is still deciding whether to join Trump at the White House or run the organization, which will seek to harness his most fervent supporters in political and policy fights. Republicans will have a smaller, but still dominant majority in the House and will control 52 seats in the Senate. On legislation, however, the Senate filibuster is still a factor, requiring at least 60 senators to vote to clear procedural hurdles and move to final passage.
