I read the latest news about George's tweets, and Trump's responses, and Kellyanne's sticking up for Trump, and all I can think about is trying to imagine what their evenings at home are like! Do they talk about politics? What do their kids know about this Twitter war?
And the most important question...Why do I care? I think because my dh and I talk about politics a fair bit, and we share the same values and opinions, that I just can't imagine having such a profound disagreement with my husband and in such a public way.
What do you think? Is this all a game by three people who have to always be the center of attention? Do Kellyanne and George have a happy marriage, and a no politics in the house rule? Can they have civil conversations about Trump when they're not tweeting or on the air? It's none of my business and I'm so darn curious!

Kellyanne publicly chooses trump over her own husband.
That’s all sorts of wrong to me.

I think their marriage is OVER at this point. She chose Trump over George. Astonishingly.

I'm curious, as well. I have to admit, it has crossed my mind that it's all for show. But it's also not the first time this type of relationship has occurred. Mary Matalin and James Carville have quite an unusual relationship, and they've gone on record as saying that politics is not discussed in their home. I couldn't live like that, but if they can, more power to them, I suppose.

I think Kellyanne has the hots (barf) for Trump. I think she loves the money and the power. Although her husband is a well known attorney, he still doesn't have the fame , money and power Trump has and she probably doesn't miss a chance to throw that in George's face. I think Kellyanne pictures herself as Trump's work wife.

I think KA, in particular, is faking loyalty to Trump. They both know Trump is ultimately not gonna last & they're positioning themselves to be future power brokers. Trump would be really dangerous were he not so ineffectual. And I suspect they know it.

No one here wants to hear my opinion of KellyAnne, so I'll just say that my opinion of my husband would drop every single time he negatively commented in public about something I worked so hard for and believed so deeply in as she does. Who wants to get their boss involved in their marital dispute? Imagine how many times worse this must be. And just imagine what the press would be saying if it was a wife constantly publicly disparaging her husband's boss if he held the same position under Obama. The woman would be called all kinds of terrible things.

They both know Trump is ultimately not gonna last & they're positioning themselves to be future power brokers. The president is in his third year of office. This belief that he's going to be tossed out on his ear is also going into its third year. His name is forever written as the 45th president of the United States of America and he has already served longer than three other presidents. Not going to last? That just doesn't even make sense. Sure. KellyAnne is hoping to lose this job with no power or recognition to get a real power job that she can only get with a husband who publicly denigrates what she believes in and works for. Yay women's lib!

I think the general consensus in Washington is that KellyAnne's husband is saying what KA believes but cannot say. Prior to the election, these are the exact things that KA said. I listen to conservative radio on my way to and from work and even the conservative radio hosts agree with this. I think KA is brilliant. I do not like her in the slightest, but she does what she does with brilliance. I think she knows EXACTLY what ol' George is going to say and I think she tells him what to say. FWIW "Trump not going to last?" I do not know what cycworker meant by that, but leftturnonly, I think very few people would disagree that he will go down as one of the very worst presidents in history, if not the worst.

Although I agree with George's assessment of Trump, I think he's put his marriage in jeopardy by publicly calling out his wife's boss. And Trump is being a complete asshole troll, as usual. KellyAnne is the only one trying to act like an adult here; she's been put in a very sucky position by both of them. And I usually pretty much disagree with her on everything.

I don't see KA and George's marriage any different to Ted & Heidi Cruz's really. Both make me wonder what kind of a marriage they have if one partner doesn't have the other person's back. In fact I find it more difficult to see how Heidi Cruz could stay married when her husband went on to support the very person that had publicly insulted and disparaged her. I'm not saying George is right to do what he does ( it's childish to have twitter insults going back and forth)but at least the only thing he is doing is insulting and calling out his wife's boss, unlike Trump did to Ted Cruz's wife.

But Trump has insulted his employee's spouse. Why is it worse to insult the wife but not the husband? It is one thing for a person to publicly insult their spouse's boss, but when your boss insults your spouse regardless of gender, the employee should be standing by their spouse. Cruz and KA are both in the wrong in their continuing support of a person that is taking shit about their spouses. I do not care who that person is.

In fact I find it more difficult to see how Heidi Cruz could stay married when her husband went on to support the very person that had publicly insulted and disparaged her. This. They were reading the tweets on the news last night and DH told me that if someone I worked for were publicly calling him names like this and I didn't stick up for him, that would be the end. No one here wants to hear my opinion of KellyAnne, so I'll just say that my opinion of my husband would drop every single time he negatively commented in public about something I worked so hard for and believed so deeply in as she does.No. She does not believe in Trump deeply. She was anti-Trump before he got the nomination. Then she became a sycophant. When he's gone, she'll move on to the next client. She's an opportunist with a job to do, not someone with deeply-held convictions. I don't think they argue over this. I think that she also believes Trump is a moron, but it's her job to go out and make him look good. And when Trump tweets about her husband, she goes home and has a laugh about it at night because she doesn't really care what Trump says and it gives her some perverse pleasure to see Trump so riled up about things. If I worked at the chicken factory and my husband didn't like chicken, it wouldn't bother me when he shared his disdain for chicken because it's just a job for me, I'm not some sort of chicken evangelist. So this is why I think they don't really care and they haven't split up. They are having fun poking the puppy and Trump isn't smart enough to realize that a person who trash-talked you before you were elected can continue to trash-talk you after you're elected - maybe just not publicly.

Cruz and KA are both in the wrong in their continuing support of a person that is taking shit about their spouses. I do not care who that person is. Boded part is mine, what do you mean? It's not the same at all, Trump wasn't Cruz's boss when he insulted Heidi. You obviously missed the part where I said I didn't agree with either of the incidents KA/George or the Cruz/Trump. Nowhere did I say that it was OK for either gender to do it. The difference is that one insulted a NON_EMPLOYEE's wife and the other insulted his wife's BOSS. If DH was applying for a job and another applicant for that job insulted me in the same way Trump publicly insulted Heidi, I'd be pretty pissed and would seriously question where DH's loyalty was. I certainly wouldn't accept it for DH to subsequently go on to support that applicant that was successful in gaining that job in the same way that Cruz has gone on to support Trump. I'm sure DH would expect the same loyalty from me too if it was reversed. Gender doesn't come into it.

Say the liberals who claim to empower women in their careers. Y'all are a bunch of sexists and you don't even see it. Fuck you. I’ve been respectful of your points of view and opinion but you keep insisting on taking your little digs at liberals. I don’t know what hit you over the head or what life events in the last year affected you but you’ve become such a bitter, ugly, person here. You don’t tell the truth. You buy into and spread the lies that this administration is fond of barfing up. Your posts have more WTF moments than I care to remember. You obviously need a break. WTF is wrong with you? You’re a fucking hypocrite—most of your posting takes aim and fires—spews—disdain and digs towards the liberal peas here—-that same fucking bullshit whining and crying you do about how mean and nasty the liberals are to the conservatives. I don’t support women who lie for a living. It has ZERO to do with sexism as you so poorly and wrongly claim. You’re absolutely ridiculous for even accusing me (and lucyg) for such a stupid claim. Kellyanne lies for a living. Proven lies. Lies that hurt other people. Kellyanne has proven to be unethical. Yet is given a pass because she continues to elevate her boss through lies and continued lying. Kellyanne thinks it’s fine support a man who calls her husband a loser, then that’s all on her and she can deal with the consequences. I’d leave my job if my boss did what hers was doing—again, ZERO to do with sexism, EVERYTHING to do with respect. It is an absolute shame that people like you cannot apparently, given your comments, tell the difference between the lies and denounce them for what they are—lies. What screams out in your posts is that you’d much rather be going down the dark hole supporting a well known liar and compromise every ethical principle there is just to support your guy/your party. That’s dangerous bullshit. You and a few others who cry and get all sanctimonious about having an echo chamber and that is all you are anymore...”no one wants to hear my opinion on...” blah blah blah—the you take pot shots at liberals, make snarky, sanctimonious—and what you think I’m sure is clever digs insulting liberal peas. And please tell me where I have ever “claimed” that I stand for “empowering women” who lie every time they speak, create alternate reality of the truth, and who are working towards dismantling and destroying the USA. I’ll help you here—-I haven’t. And I’m sure that lucyg hasn’t either. But you will just keep on making those stupid ass, lying claims—just like we see many conservatives/republicans here and elsewhere do—try to claim liberals say/do this, that, or the other, when in reality they’ve never said it nor indicated it. You win today for being part of the misinformation campaign. So you can rightly fuck off, go wallow in the lies of this administration and one Ms. Kellyanne Conway, while those of us who can tell the difference and who don’t support them call them out on it to try to stop the hateful, lying train that Kellyanne promotes and dishes out each day for her dishonest, disingenuous boss. And because you are apparently confused here, there is ZERO correlation to sexism here—you trying to insult me and lucyg for not supporting a lying, liar of a woman (incidentally because she lies) and pushing the narrative accusing us of being sexist, is just more bullshit on your part—a stretch to try to take digs at liberal peas.

It isn’t all about the name calling either— I think trump is pissed that Kellyanne cannot keep george in line with his tweets calling trump out on his lies. George has, more than once, tweeted out correcting trump’s false/lying tweets. Because trump cannot stop that, he go to what he knows, which is bullying and lying. It’s what he does best.

I have no idea how their marriage works (and truly no interest either) but it's certainly possible to be married to someone with whom you don't share political beliefs - sometimes because you've never shared them and sometimes because people's beliefs evolve over time and a couple who had similar beliefs early on may no longer. I don't choose to discuss politics with my husband because those discussions never end well. Would I like to roll back time to when we could discuss politics and agree to disagree, sure, but that's not where we are now.
I do think that a public dispute like this one would be more challenging to navigate but...

DH and I were talking about their relationship last night. We could not imagine what an evening at their house would look like. Then we heard she chose Trump over her husband. Unless this thing between them is a planned “act”, they will be an episode of Divorce Court soon. It could be something they are manipulating this situation for the press and attention. Every single person in the Trump orbit is greedy and bat shit crazy.
