2. That's what I wonder about too.

I remember James Carville and Mary Matalin, married political consultants on opposite sides of the political spectrum. They disagreed but it was fairly good-natured and the issues at stake seem trivial compared to what is happening now. I really don't understand how the Conways survive as a couple. A book would be interesting.

So many possibilities that dizzy you to the point you don't know what is truth and what is fiction.

Could Kellyanne be the mole? If so she is one hell of an actor. How does Trump not fire her? He blamed McCabe for having a Democratic spouse, yet George has skewered him daily for a long time now. I don't get it.

Maybe George and Kellyanne are working both sides for their own benefits, but why does Trump keep her around? There's enough Kellyanne-hating and back-stabbing in the White House that somebody must be making Trump aware of George's tweets and op-eds. It's bizarre.

I hate to speculate by saying they might be having an affair, but that guess is as good as anything right now.

Are polar opposites when it comes to politics.
As it turns out, people with different opinions can cohabitate.

are also political polar opposites too. Sometimes the fur can fly but usually we just don't talk about politics.

7. The largest book advance of all will be for Kellyanne when she is done with Trump.

The largest book advance of all will be for Kellyanne when she is done with Trump.

She sold herself for money and fame, first with Cruz totally against Trump, and then switched over for more money and fame when Trump looked more favorable in the campaigns.

Her loyalty is for sale.

Was/is it irony when Kellyanne prostituted herself for money for Cruz or when she prostitutes herself for money for Trump?

Paul Manafort is a mobster too.

See my post about this in this link:

She told me that politics stop at the bedroom door.

This was pre-tRump, too.
