WTF?

.@KellyannePolls: "It's really time for (Trump) to put in his own security and intelligence community." What? @ThisWeekABC


http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/week-transcript-22-17-kellyanne-conway-sen-john/story?id=44954948

CONWAY: The president went to the intelligence community yesterday to establish good relationships with them. And we had over 1,000 requests to attend. We could only accommodate a few hundred.

He will be back. He got a standing ovation. And it’s really time for him to put in his own security intelligence community. We really would prefer the intelligence community that is going out the door to be much more respectful toward the president and his vision in moving forward.

We're not really thrilled with the leaks that have come out with the last several weeks or months. And we think in the interest of keeping us all safe, George, that the intelligence community that we saw on their feet yesterday, welcoming President Trump for his rousing speech, is the one that we look forward to working with.

(end snip)

Gawd help us. To clarify - my point is about him putting in his own security intelligence community.

or were all the employees that attended standing? This might explain the standing ovation.

on a statement like this.

We heard statements like this from W's administration...Rove indicating that his administration creates reality and all the media can do is report on that new reality until an even newer reality is created. That got little pushback from anyone...and here we are today with Conway....even more blatant.

Atwater, Rove, Conway...nothing like that on the left, thankfully. But their kind of deceptive, polarizing manipulation of public perception has to be exposed and opposed by all...ESPECIALLY important with a toddler at the helm.

I hope that the gop breaks its own pattern and actually governs instead of leaving the heavy lifting to the dems. The gop could stop this right now if they wanted.

to compromise (that is, not exploit their humiliation and embarrassment should they move to oust the drumph regime).
