Am I treading into "conspiracy theory" territory?

[SHRED]

I just don't trust this whole Conway drama.

1. ... to what end?

[SHRED]

2. More distraction

And staying in the limelight.

[grumpyduck]

3. If by drama you mean entertainment,

then yeah, it's drama. K and G looking for some attention and hoping the masses will fall for it.

[CentralMass]

4. I'm enjoying it.

[LonePirate]

5. It seems several members of the "Never" crowd joined up after the election and inauguration.

Joe and Mika are good examples. Perhaps George Conway is another.

[ScratchCat]

6. I don't believe so

Because GC turned down the DOJ job because he believed Trump would be asking him to violate the law.

16. :) That only indicates he's not suicidally stupid. By far most

of the people who would normally be considered for these positions refused to join this ticking time bomb of a presidential administration.

Some did so no doubt for moral reasons, but (it IS a Republican administration after all) undoubtedly most did it out of self protection, knowing all the bad things that would ultimately happen to those who accepted.

7. I too have often been skeptical of its believability. This WH is capable of anything.

8. When he started responding to Trump's tweets, I thought it was all fake.

They were doing a stage show, same as Republican Mary Matalin and her Democratic husband, James Carville, who make their living as performance artists playing the roles of political adversaries. Kellyanne Conway is a con artist, and capitalising on the same successful business model that works for Matalin and Carville, is certainly boosting her approval ratings in the eyes of her boss.

9. also could be buyers remorse.

we've seen enough of that for this to be a possibility.

[Hortensis]

10. Agree. He's a lifelong sleazebag, although

he prefers to be seen as far more respectable than his "contact only through cut-outs" fellow dirty tricks operatives used to be regarded. Now, of course, the Republicans are putting them on the Supreme Court, so maybe he made a bad choice in scurrying back to his law firm in New York instead of sticking with the swiftboaters hired to destroy Governor Clinton.

They are two of a kind, without moral cores and very possibly without consciences (speaking of DSM-5 diagnoses). Approximately one out of 30 or so people don’t, and the actual ratio among the scum surrounding Trump has to be staggering.

A whole lot of people sucking up to Trump really, really dislike him, though, and as it approaches time for the rats to depart the ship it'll be a surprise if more of them don't begin inflating this type of life raft to jump with. I won't be buying their books.

13. Yup

Conway was one of the lawyers who represented Paula Jones in her lawsuit against U.S. President Bill Clinton.[4][5] During the representation of Jones, he worked closely with Ann Coulter and Matt Drudge.[6]

14. I remember he was one of the men sneaking illicitly around

a home or hospital trying to get to a sick woman they were hoping to use in some way. Perhaps it was getting his shoes dirty and picking leaves out of his hair that really bothered him.

11. this about the federalist society. they want pence to be pres. kellyanne

just drawing a pay check

[WhiteTara]

12. They're both grifters and traitors

each in their own way. She is in bed with trump and he is in bed with the Kochs. They are a marriage made in hell, but they are working together.

[Kitchari]

15. I think they want to usher in "Pres. Pence"

--May it never happen

17. Remember Trump is good friends and associates with the WWE Mcmahons

Every heel needs a hero to PUNCH BACK AT ( one of Mr Trumps favorite references ) Both get their Bona Fides and audiences. It also reads like a scripted back and forth most of the time and I know for a fact the the Mcmahons have demonstrated the bad can be good routine in political happenstance the same as they script it into wrestling.

To continue borrowing from the wrestling vernacular, its all a form of Kayfabe ( see wikipedia ) that allows each of them ( Trump/Kelly Anne Conway/George Conway ) to stay in their lane while working together on a narrative.

If Kelly Anne wants to address or distract something or bring it up with out bringing it up herself, her husband floats it and then she is asked and prepared with an easy softball sidestep.

And if Mr Conway ever has the need to soften a blow against Trump, people will less likely bust his balls over it because "hes one of us".

Scratching the conspiracy itch just a little further I have observed a regular pattern of "oopses" or bad that is good in many of the sexual related news blips (stormy/locker room talk/other playboy bunny) all seem to come out at "convenient" times, all have played more or less into the Trump narrative of virile sexually aggressive business man and when examined with depth (with the exception of the further stormy story) often dont make sense why adversaries would release some of it, I believe just like his John Baron days, Trump release info about sex and lawyers and such, that alot of people would see as damaging, but "his side" see as a plus so hes willing to take a neutral hit from those that are already against him, if it bolsters him with his crowd.
