Kellyanne Goebbels Conway sounds nervous when interviewed - why???

This morning on CNN, I heard one of the mindless females at the end of the interview with Conway, asking her, I think, about the lack of intelligence meetings trump has had - she responded, "He's very busy, blah, blah, tremenous workmjes doing, blah, blah.

Then it turned to the recount, and she whined and whined that Hillary complained about Trump possibly questioning the results and it's over, Hillary called Trump and conceded, she heard the phone call. Really junior league stuff she said. Then she said that Trump has been very magnanimous in his treatment of not prosecuting Hillary and has been nice to the Clinton's and Obamas. Like, wtf...he thinks the Obamas give a damn if he's magnanimous to them?

What's going on? Why do you think she sounds so nervous???

about a rigged election. We assumed he was referring to Hillary, but could it be that he was the "rigger". His tweets are telling.

Who is going to question Comey why 11 days before the election he send his first letter to Congress, and why he send another one just 3 days before the election? And no, second letter wasn't helpful, since it again reminded people about emails and that Hillary managed to "avoid prosecution."
I don't have any confidence in the FBI doing any of that.

it would be the downfall of the entire Republican party.

They would no longer be facing the ire of Democrats, but of the United Nations, NATO, the free press, and every non-brainwashed citizen in this great country.

But maybe it's that they want her to stay because they like how she does on tv.

And she knows trump is the type to go after someone personally if she doesnt do what they want.

He probably views himself as giving her this opportunity and would not like it if she left and cashed out.

His mind doesnt get that the presidency is mostly about work.

Even when we see the president at those fancy dinners and things in public that is a small part of what they do.

I don't mean in that her conscience is troubled.

But more like someone whose life is miserable and they need to go after others to make themselves feel better.

That may be entirely without merit, but every time I see her I wonder if she is experiencing actual abuse of some kind. Maybe she's just really tired.

three or four times about why Trump had not been going to security briefings and in fact was actually TURNING DOWN the briefings when asked to attend. You are correct that Conway's answers were pathetic and completely unconvincing. When Bash nailed her about this numerous times in a row, the emotion Conway was feeling was annoyance/anger. It was a good moment in what has often been shameful coverage by the television media as they continue to be incapable of covering Trump with any kind of courage or truthfulness.

So that he gets angry and "deprives" her of a position in his administration. She knows that she's done after a few years in his administration, so wants out now so she can make the millions that a government salary won't pay

....and sure enough, at one point her eyes flared wide in a way I have never seen her do before. It lasted only an instant but it had the feel of a real "tell."

Among other things, she and Bannon are pissed off blue that Trump is "betraying" their swampful of white nationalists by toying with the idea of appointing Romney as SoS. She said they were hearing "from many in the grass roots" and that after all the mean things Mitt said about Trump in the campaign it "wasn't fair."

The rest of it was pretty standard lies about Hillary, but it leaves me wondering what else they are gibbering about in their private talks.

They need Washington Republicans to work on legislature. The wing-nuts want to just skip ahead to the punishment phase of the Clinton trials. The neo-nazis want more (or all) white power appointments available to Drumpf.

I'm sure she knows that the heavily armed, low impulse control, right-wing nut jobs are getting closer to violence.
