Kellyanne Conway's Husband Effortlessly Fact-Checks President Trump's Ohio Popularity Claims
by Matt Naham | 1:18 pm, August 13th, 2018
President Donald Trump went after a nemesis of sorts in Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Monday, calling Kasich “very unpopular” and a “failed presidential candidate.” Trump criticized Kasich for “tamping down” enthusiasm for state senator Troy Balderson‘s U.S. House run. Kellyanne Conway‘s husband George had something to say about that.
As Mediaite noted, Kasich pointed out that Balderson’s margin of victory was underwhelming. The New York Times has the count at 101,772 (50.1 percent) to Balderson and 100,208 (49.3) to Democrat Danny O’Connor.
“It wasn’t a good night because this is a district that you should be winning by, you know, overwhelming numbers,” Kasich said.

Trump appears not to have taken this remark kindly, attacking Kasich’s popularity. That’s when George Conway showed up with a Suffolk University poll of Ohio midterm voters. Conway particularly pointed to the section about unfavorability ratings.
