Still waiting for “the pee-pee tapes”…

"Conway denied the allegations, calling the dozen anonymous accusers “gossip girls” and “ankle biters” jealous of both her success and her close relationship with the former president..."

Always professional and always classy. Trust me, no one is jealous of KAC.

Nothing new. Let’s be clear this is White Trash on White Trash. Both came from working poor families and they made it to a level of success that they did not expect. Could this be DEI?

She’s a woman after all. They must vilify.

If I can make a suggestion - in 2021, Kellyanne Conway posted nude images of her own underage daughter on Twitter. I feel like any article discussing her ought to mention this fact. She is a profoundly repugnant, indecent person even by the usual standards of Trump's orbit.

Oh, snap. Although she's probably one of Caputo's biggest sources inside the Trump campaign, so antagonizing her with that might be counterproductive. If she's gonna leak, let her leak to The Bulwark!

Personally I find Kellyanne even creepier than JD Vance and that’s a pretty high bar to clear.

For the life of me I can't understand how Kellyanne is still working for this loser. I have a hard time belie4ving that she really believes in his bullshit. So is he paying her a bucketload of money? How is sticking with him going to help her professionally in the future. I wish George would spill all.

If Trump replaces Vance, he has to introduce someone new. Which is just more lost opportunity to try to define Kamala before first impressions - which have been great - start to firm up. That clock is running out fast.

Which sycophant would he choose? Doesn’t matter; they’re still a sycophant, and undecideds hate sycophants.

Vance is a special kind of repugnant, so I hope he stays, but a replacement still amounts to trading a broken leg for a broken arm.

I find it easy to believe Trump is using KAC to get the lay of the land when it comes to Vance. He's becoming as big of a drag on the campaign as Project 2025....with many entanglements with Project 2025 and it's supporters.

“ Donald Trump Jr., who has been close to Vance for years, tirelessly lobbied his father to pick the Ohio senator.”

“Trump World itself split in two—into pro-Vance and anybody-but-Vance camps—with emotions running high”

Layer on trump criticizing the identity of Vice President Harris to a room of Black journalists… I haven’t been this optimistic in years.

Yet again Caputo brings the uncut MagaWorld inside skinny. Great reporting as always Mark.

Marvelous inside reporting. Nice to know LaCivita and Wiles don’t have total control.. I suppose that was apparent at the NBJA interview today. Gets Trump back in the map, but not in a good way.

As someone who hates Donald Trump and wants to see him lose badly, piss off out of public life, and ultimately choke to death on a Big Mac, I loved that interview. It's going to energize his weirdest, most obnoxious supporters and make MAGA look like even more of a bizarre, racist con job run by cranks, liars, and loons. That's good for democracy.

Also, Christ I hope the rest of the media sees those women pressing their questions and remembers how to do their own fucking jobs.

As a stroke survivor, I hope he experiences what I went through. He doesn’t have the guts to survive.
