Kelleyanne's Next Step

Kelleyanne Conway is “personally concerned” about the grassroots supporters of Trump, who are unhappy with the idea of Romney as Secretary of State. She is now publicly stating her concerns.

I find this very interesting as I am not sure most of Trump's grassroots supporters pay much attention to who Secretary of State is. I have not seen any coverage of any protests about this. When I Googled it, all I could find was the article I’ve linked to above, and various repeats on mainstream media of Kellyanne Conway's’ claim that it’s happening.

So while I can’t find a single reporter’s coverage of this so-called grassroots movement, I do know that if we can all be convinced that it exists, and if Trump makes a big show of responding to this “movement” by dismissing Romney in order to assuage his public,Trump will have given his supporters proof that he is a man of his word, that he listens to them, that he will work on their behalf. And the beauty of this strategy is that he only has to prove it once.  

From that point forward, they will fall in line just as they did during the election. If something doesn’t sit well with them, they will simply point the finger at the nearest Democrats and blame them for it. Donald Trump will do whatever he wants and his people will never question him.

This is a replay of the strategy used throughout his campaign. Make a claim, manufacture proof, repeat it continuously and at every possible opportunity, and voila! for all practical purposes, it will become true.

This is the winning temperament in action: winning is all that matters, literally. 

Ms. Conway continues to manipulate the media into treating her nonsense as news, and the media will continually invite her to repeat it, without question; until it is no longer seen as the nonsense it is and the truth no longer matters.

Then when Donald Trump and his small team of dangerously unqualified and ignorant demagogues are running the show from the White House the media will spend their time finding ways to explain what the Democrats did wrong.

And everybody, well almost everybody, will be surprised that he’s getting away with it, once again.
