Is there anyone out there who can make heads or tails of the Donald Trump campaign? Do these people realize that the internet never forgets? We have a slew of video evidence showing that Trump’s new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, spent much of the primary season bashing her new boss.
Trump’s New Campaign Manager Worked For Cruz
Kellyanne Conway is really quite the force within Republican politics. Her specialty (Superpower? Dark magic?) is making women think that sleazy Republican men should get their vote. Don’t ask me how she does it; her tactics don’t work on me.
She has, however, made a name for herself by working on campaigns for some of the worst Republicans around. From Mike “I believe in gay conversion therapy” Pence, to Todd “legitimate rape” Akin, Conway has made her mark.
Given her history, it’s actually not all that shocking that Trump hired her. After all, women find him disgusting, for the most part. Even Republican women are generally split down the middle on their support of Trump.
What IS shocking, however, is what Conway said about Trump throughout the primary season.
Conway Agrees With Democrats On A Few Things
When she was out there pushing Cruz’s message, Conway pulled no punches in her criticisms of Trump. She mentioned the “victims” of Trump University, she talked about wanting to see his tax returns (then flip-flopped on that once hired by Trump), and she often criticized his “vulgar” language.
One point she made in particular, though, really makes you wonder. During an appearance on CNN back in February, Conway said:
“…he says he’s for the little guy, but he’s actually built a lot of his businesses on the backs of the little guy and he’s, a lot of little guys through eminent domain, or through not paying contractors after you’ve built something. The little guys have suffered.”
Yea, Ms. Conway, that’s what Democrats have been saying all along. Will you change your story now that he’s signing your checks? My guess is yes.
