\nIt occurs to me that I haven\u2019t heard Larry Jacobs opine about Kellyanne Conway, the woman who ran Donald Trump\u2019s stunningly successful Presidential campaign. \u00a0Why not?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s not as if she had such a great candidate that the campaign was a walk in the park.\u00a0 Trump isn\u2019t George Washington, someone the whole public would love to proclaim King.\u00a0 I\u2019m absolutely confident that no other candidate could have beaten Hillary.\u00a0 The other Republicans all were hiring the same strategy consultants, making the same media buys, hitting up the same super PAC fundraisers.\u00a0 They even shop at the same tailors: I never saw so many identical outfits as when the twelve dwarfs were in those early debates.\u00a0 Somehow, she pulled her guy to the top of that heap.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>And did it practically free.\u00a0 She convinced the media to give Trump a zillion dollars of free publicity, thinking they were killing his campaign by reporting on his outrageous promise to \u201cBuild the Wall\u201d when in fact, he was using them to reach out to Joe Six-Pack who heard the slogan and thought \u201cDamned straight and about time!\u201d\u00a0 Talk about your all-time classic backfires . . . that\u2019s a brilliant tactic nobody else could have gotten away with.<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Kellyanne Conway ought to be on the cover of every political magazine, the talk of every political news program and the subject of every Poli Sci class on every campus.\u00a0 She ran an insurgent campaign on a shoestring and beat the best political consultants and candidate in the nation.\u00a0 And did it with a unruly novice as the candidate!\u00a0 And won walking away, an Electoral College landslide. Why isn\u2019t she getting more praise?<\/span><\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>She\u2019s either the single luckiest woman in the world or the smartest, I\u2019m not sure which and I don\u2019t care.\u00a0 I\u2019m just grateful to her for preventing The Lizard Queen from ascending to the Rose Garden Throne.\u00a0 In the first week alone, she saved me $1,000 that I was planning to spend on ammunition before Hillary banned it.\u00a0 Her guy hasn\u2019t even taken office and already, my life is richer. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
