Guess I've been out of the loop.

Context helps.

DU is awash in them. I wish DUers would accept the fact that their every thought doesn't deserve its very own OP.

TYY

comes across as sweet, perky, and likable. (Something that the candidates she's chosen to associate with belies.)

I'd put "campaign manager" in quotes, though. She's traveling with him, presumably handling him, and interacting with the media to put a new face on the campaign. Some talking heads agreed no way could she be doing this and handling the whole of a campaign manager's many grueling tasks also. Of course, it's a rather...lean campaign.

And I have to agree. She may not look like the typical Fox fembot, and she may not have the skills/experience to effectively manage the campaign, but she does know what to say on TV. I find that very concerning. I don't think anyone should think she's a lightweight.

And prior to working for Trump she had some very disparaging things to say about him:

I thought oh, shoot! (Well, that's the general idea.)

As for the comments, I've also noticed that again and again more people than otherwise seem to feel a need to disparage and seemingly underestimate enemies. Since it's so common, it must serve a genuine purpose. Our on-line version of waving spears and yelling insults at the strangers on the other side of the meadow, perhaps.

By beltway journalists. Thanks for an intelligent post, hortensis. I admire smart women who make it in a man's game.

the company she keeps suggests about her. Take a look at this, hard-core right-wing extremists every one:

But she has the same choices we all do. I often wonder what attracts smart people to their candidates and causes. I'm okay with critiquing those things but not women for their looks. I can draw the line and admire her success and hard work but still wonder why she holds them. I felt the same about Phyllis Schafly. I cannot comprehend the motive of women who want to hold other women back or stuck in roles. Conway who has been molded in the modern age and in an age that allowed her to do what she's done so why such allegiance to a party that limits choices. Go figure. Maybe a niche that was open to women much like Blacks who find a niche in the Republican Party as well or the Log Cabin Republicans who find those niches profitable? Indoctrination by family values?

and here's one result. http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/news/a62994/kellyanne-conway-trump-new-campaign-manager/

that she has ruined her political career by working for the orange menace with small hands (his poor wife tsk tsk).

Trumpipoo's new shit slinger.

too shallow to bring it up. I agree with you! I hate to say this but.. I would not be surprised given she is on the Trump train.

She rubs me entirely the wrong way. From her submissive sounding voice to her bimbo looks. Can't stand her, and felt this way long before she became a Trumpster.

There...I got it out of MY system, too.

In a man's field. Beltway Dems describing her as methodical, smart, authentic and forthright last night on Diane Rehm's show. But then, you may not know Diane Rehm either. I thought misogyny was frowned upon here. Or is that only when it is aimed at democrats? I applaud what she has accomplished but then I've never trashed people. I guess I've never been shallow.

Its not misogynistic.

It's sexist on her part in my opinion to be hawking Donald Trump's platform which platform is entirely bad for women.

So is it okay if I just don't like her?

Because whether it's okay or not, I don't like her.

Thanks for your thoughts. Hope you are having a great weekend.

But putting any woman down for her looks when she is smart and successful smacks of it. It even hints at envy. Nor is it sexist to support a candidate aligned with her party. That is her profession and her choice.

I'm having quite a nice weekend, thank you. And thanks for a respectful reply.

I think she is successful at all because she has played the game for the good old boy network. She is submissive and has the looks that people like Donald Trump seem to want. She plays up those attributes. So I don't think her success is all about brain power.

She worked for a Cruz super PAC that went after Trump.

She has already been caught by the media (who rolled video evidence for her) complaining about Trump not releasing his tax returns. This was when she was working to get Cruz nominated.

Now, since she's on Trump's payroll, it's completely okay with her that Trump won't release his tax returns.

So, in my opinion, her integrity is sold to the highest bidder. And that means integrity is not an important thing to her.

It is to me.

Advises on winning strategies whether honest or not.

"looks" that Trump likes? "caught by the media" BTW, do you mean "don't" think she's successful ...? And Trump is so stupid he just picks any blond off the TV set? You actually sound irrational. But have at it.

Now that sounds like something a Trump supporter would say about a woman having an opinion.

Enough. Enjoy your stay at DU, but my discussion with you is over.

If I use the word that comes to mind it would be considered sexist or some damn thing like that so I'll just hold these words...

Can't say much around here anymore that doesn't offend somebody.

It has gone way OOC.

on edit, i just realized you are proabbly talking about the trump campaign pollster .

campaign manager now.

Also, kinda smh at the responses so far in this thread.Trump taking on a new campaign manager has been huge news the last few days.

I know I do. He says something outrageous, the press fascinated with him, hang on his every word. He doesn't back down, the goppers who apparently have only been playing Southern Strategy act appalled rinse and repeat.

as they say in Oklahoma.

and please, if you have to rely on Urban Dictionary for argument sourcing you have already put paid to any chance of digging out of the hole you are in

I used Urban Dictionary because Webster's doesn't define colloquial phrases. Because you've never heard it refer to a man doesn't mean other people haven't used it that way. I come from a part of the country where it is a common phrase used for both men and women. I HAVE NEVER heard it used as a homophobic slur. Nice try. Okay. I'm done with you, now go the fuck away and bother someone else.

typical unintelligent reply

and mine as well. Only a month at DU and spoiling for a fight?

just because you disagree with a woman does not give you carte blanche to invoke inherently sexist thematics, and you were also agreeing with a poster who was equally guilty, if not more so:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2375403

12. That woman looks like " she's been around".

Both of you should be ashamed to project this shit onto women.

I've heard it all my life applied to anybody who looks like they've been through something rough, or is disheveled and has that "morning after" look.

I never thought of her that way but I fully believe it wasn't meant to be sexist.

Definitely no sexism meant.

ffs, this is a liberal board??????
shameful

But I see the same thing. There are fun drunks and mean drunks. Similar to coke heads, some are fun party types, some are run at the mouth annoying.

Bags under the eyes, annoying fast paced talking, I have to agree.

I guess Trump did not want to be associated with supporting off shore oil drilling.

She has a background LOADED with freakazoids and CONservative religious fanatics!

I find her creepy and calculating, and if anyone can speak about a woman in this campaign whom they don't trust - it's Miss Kellyanne.

She depresses me. Keeping up that Republican ideal of attractiveness: too much bleach, restricted diet (probably doesn't touch oil or fat of any kind, one of the reasons her skin and hair looks papery dry) to keep thin except for the way out of proportion pumped-up bust. I assumed she was older than I am, shocked to find that she's about six years younger. Poor woman. I don't agree with the drug use diagnosis. She's a nervous perfectionist and doesn't eat.

other than that is right. But. she is pure bullshit. she has the gift of bullshit. She trashed Trump not too long ago. And, yes, she does look strung out.

I also think she is in love with Donald.....and Melania cannot be found.
This woman is a mess....LaydeeBug I see the same thing you do...

Someone said last night (don't know which TV stations)..but said these 2 would not match up to be his
people to go thru.....this isn't his last "CEO's"...

Yes Xanax & Botox does that too...

Not sure if it is substance use, but she has the same kind of mean, strung out affect as ann coulter.

NEVER thought of her as sweet or whatever, that is typical give the rs undo credit bullshit.

She always comes across as nasty when i see her.

trump wont listen to her or any one else as he is always the smartest person in the room.....lol

We were watching her yesterday, and I noticed that if you focus on her eyes while she speaks, it's like she's pleading with you for help. She looks seriously deranged. I feel sad for her. She was once one of the most likeable Nazi princesses that America had.

I pay no attention to them, nor shall I to her.

she is one sharp, ambitious, mean, extremely talented woman when it comes to dealing with the media, and that's what needs to be paid attention to, not her teeth or hair or the bags under her eyes.

she has little control over Trump as the only person he trusts to know everything better than anyone else. Her days are also numbered.

I wouldn't be the least surprised.

No pun intended.

and possibly not eating very well and not getting enough rest. I'm sure in similar circumstances, I would not look my best either. If Trump actually listens to her, that might be trouble.

the man running for the Senate in Missouri when he made his "legitimate rape" comment? She is a raging homophobe and you may call her smart and talented, but she's an ugly entity that looks like a woman without a soul. She's sold it to the highest bidder.

But she does look strung out, now that you mention that. Sad.

Looks like she needs a long, long rest in a nursing home.

but she seems STRUNG OUT. I am not backing down from that. She could be a male and act the same way. Think Charlie Sheen.

Reminds me of all the shit said about Hillary and even worse Chelsea and Amy Carter. People calling Michelle a gorilla and stuff.

She is great on TV and I certainly think that trying to lure more women to vote GOP is sort of a bad thing to do since the GOP has basically an anti woman agenda.

However personally attacking and insulting her for her looks or lifestyle sort of reminds me more of the way the GOP operates than dems.

She can get thru an interview w/o insulting anyone or seeming racist and unhinged.

And look much more "innocent" than Trump does, when spouting his hate.

Just saw a clip of her in April, and she looked less stressed then than she does now.

She just spouts hate with that smile. Grrrrr...I've always despised this woman. She betrays women supporting Trump.

like how someone on cocaine acts.

But she looks she's been cooking meth or something
