Well, those four kids are never going to see their parents for the next four years.

I thought KellyAnne wasn't taking a position because she said she had four small children.

He paid Trump to be considered for the position?

He paid Trump to be considered for the position? I don't see where this is pay to play. Nepotism, maybe. |

Many Presidents surround themselves with people they know and trust from their past. Two off the top of my head for Obama are Valerie Jarrett and Rahm Emanuel. IMO, it's really not a big deal with the exception of those simply looking for something else to rag on Trump about. My guess is anyone up in arms over either Conway didn't blink an eye over Valerie Jarrett or Rahm Emanuel being tapped by Obama. |

Could be this guy is being considered for one of 2 reasons.
1. A reward for Kellyanne because of all the lying she does for trump.
2. This is the best he could get. I doubt many of our "best and brightest" want to associate themselves to a trump presidency.

Chao & Conway positions because of spouses connected to Trump. Trump kids initiated the "pay to play charity scams" pay to have coffee with Ivanka, pay min $25K to $1,000,000 to have access to Trumpster on day after inauguration. And for jenny2--- Pointing out a fact, you don't see me "ragging on anyone" like those who were screaming about pay to play on the other side. You might want to give the OP a good read before accusing me of "finding something else to rag on Trump", which is not anything remotely close to what I posted. |

My guess is her husband is under consideration because Trump really wants Kellyanne Conway to work for him and she expressed she didn't want to leave her family. I don't know enough about him to know if he is qualified but this happens a lot in DC.

KellyAnne Conway's husband is being considered/vetted for a position. That is all my post stated, nothing more. You came back to the group and have been angsty, argumentative (where really, there is no need) and ready to jump on people. And your response making accusations still is wrong. |

You called it a pay for play. That is NOT factual unless you're changing the definition. I also agreed in a post that it was more nepotism and clarified. I even edited the title after mirabelle suggested a better word to describe it. I STILL didn't "rag" on anyone as you've accused. But hey, go ahead and keep on being attacking and argumentative-- My OP ONLY pointed out the FACT that he was being vetted and considered--that is STILL a fact. No where in the rest of the thread do you see me saying anything else regarding what you're trying to imply. |

Yes, I think nepotism is fitting-- nep·o·tism ˈnepəˌtizəm/ noun noun: nepotism the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs. synonyms: favoritism, preferential treatment, the old boy network, looking after one's own, bias, partiality, partisanship And thank you mirabelleswalker for a better word than what I originally used in title |

I don't know if he's qualified as the only thing I've read about him is that he was one of the lawyers involved in the Bill Clinton-Paula Jones scandal. I ordinarily equate nepotism to the hiring of relatives. The hiring of friends or people within one's sphere of influence would be cronyism to me. Just my opinion. |
