<White House counselor Kellyanne Conway believes the secret to her success is simple: She learned how to "think like a man and behave like a lady," Time magazine reports.
She doesn't explain what she believes it means to think like a man, and her comment calls to mind Russian President Vladimir Putin, who was similarly oblique when he told filmmaker Oliver Stone, "I'm not a woman, so I don't have bad days." Conway does more explicitly discuss some of the difficulties she has faced over the course of her career as a woman in GOP politics.
20 years ago, the RNC, she says, was like "walking into the men's locker room at the Elk's Club, holding a bachelor party."
For its issue featuring various "firsts," Time magazine salutes Conway, a conservative attorney, pollster and CEO who became the "first woman to run a winning presidential campaign." Originally senior adviser to then-candidate Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort, Conway took over for Manafort in July 2016 and led the Republican to a surprise victory.
She's known for her dry sense of humor. When asked in last fall how she would balance a West Wing job with her four children, she replied, "I don't play golf, and I don't have a mistress, so I have a lot of time that a lot of these other men don't.">

(10,419 posts)She's been pretty much out of the picture lately, and all of the Bannon press must be aggravating her manly side.

(13,479 posts)I thought that was somewhat funny. (Though if I were some of the men surrounding her, I'd be pissed.)
But she's a mess.

(44,063 posts)You're correct that there is an element of psychological projection in the statement. However you need to recognize/acknowledge that Obama Hate and Clinton Hate are the major tools in her propaganda toolbox.

And, she was a CEO? Of what? A parking garage?
I'm sure she deserved that position because of her great strategic skills.

(15,220 posts)You don't. You both think and behave like a paid employee who kisses her boss' ass whether via loyalty or fear. On top of that, you're mean to journalists who are simply trying to do their jobs and you lie constantly.
