The fascinating psychology of the Kellyanne Conway dynamic and the "victim mentality"

STEP 1: Get a job as Trump's "mouthpiece"

STEP 2: Deliver any and every message Trump hands you

STEP 3: Get caught in multiple lies

STEP 4: Claim that the lies are actually "alternative facts"

STEP 5: When step 4 fails, claim that you are being attacked because "liberals" can't "handle strong women"

STEP 6: Once every last shred of your credibility has vanished, once you have been banned from certain networks and / or shows, double down on Step 5, claim that no matter how much unprecedented, historic, dazzling progress made by our President (presented by more "alternative facts), respond by saying that the "liberal media" only wants to see the President fail, and that not only are they undermining the selfless efforts of our President (who just burned up $800,000 of taxpayer money to go to the golf course in New Jersey and then fly back for a concert in Washington DC), they are also attacking you personally because you can't handle a "strong woman" (Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris and many others apparently exist in some invisible, "alternate" universe).

STEP 7: Double down, triple down, quadruple down until you get to the point where people who should know better start taking the cheapest of cheap shots at you (like the recent story about someone saying her face looks like it has been "hit by a shovel&quot . Use this as undeniable proof that you were right about points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

She didn't just come out of nowhere, you know.

She has been doing her thing for a long time. I've been seeing her lie on cable TV for what must be close to 20 years now.

She's just more 'official' now.

... I've had enough of KellyAnne and I think the rest of the country has too.

She has no career after this, who would want her on any show or network, she has zero credibility.
