Can you just imagine trying to get Trump ready for a debate.
It would be a nightmare.
And yet his four imbecile children would be furious at the campaign leadership for not preparing him adequately for the debate. You can bring a horse to the water . . .. . You know how that goes.
I agree she is. And she obviously took the job because it seriously raised her profile.
Wouldn't surprise me if she can't stand him personally though.
I posted elsewhere that I bet she is rooting for a huge blow out. That way, she gets the benefit of the raised profile, but he loses by a large popular vote margin and an EC blow out, she can point the finger at him and say there was nothing she could have done to change that outcome. A close race could have been managed better but when it's a blow out, it's the candidate, not the process.

Two weeks ago the race was tied. In two weeks it can be tied again. The big blow out you talk about may possible blow up. To give Conway credit, she seems to do a good job reigning him in when needed. Lets see if she can do it again the next 5 weeks.
At the beginning people were blaming Corey Lewandownski but many of us figure pretty quickly the problem was Trump not his campaign manager. Then came Manafort and he confirmed the problem was Trump
Conway had nothing to lose and now everybody knows who she is.
I call BS on this subject. No professional campaign advisor is so stupid as to announce any indication of how they will vote. That would be professional suicide.
Everything rational says they will vote for the guy who hired them. For the professionals, this campaign is only one more campaign. If an adviser does well in the job, there's more work offered in the future, whether his current client wins or loses.
The thing to understand is these professionals don't only work on Presidential campaigns. They are available for anyone who needs their services, from a city alderman to a Senator during all the other elections.
And snagging a Presidential candidate is a matter of luck more than anything. While the 2 Presidential candidates have a handful of advisors between them, the vast majority of these pros are working for Senators, Governors, Representatives, and various State hopefuls.
Many of those races actually pay better than working for a Prez hopeful, as those funding warchests don't have to be spread so thinly. There is always less potential future damage when a professional makes a big mistake for a Representative than for a Presidential hopeful, so there are always some of the best of them who will never work for a Prez candidate at all- it's too risky to their reputation.
Conway is no novice. She's been around for quite a while, making serious money working on down-ticket Republican races, and she has specialized her advisory abilities; she's the gal who can make a real jerk look like a pleasant person. She is really good at taming a candidate who can't stop being a jerk, a pro who can identify what the public dislikes in a person, and has a way of soothing both the candidate and the voters, steering both away for a candidate's worst tendencies and most visible jerkiness.
Does she like Donald? No one knows but Conway. And she won't ever breathe a word on the subject until she leaves the profession. That's how all the best of them are.
It's the friends, hang-arounds, and others on a campaign staff who shoot their mouths off "off the record".
This Clinton digital smear campaign is getting creepy. I just imagine a basement lab somewhere where her supporters are spending 24 hours a day spreading fake news on social media and forums, making up anonymous sources and stories.
Didn't the same thing happen to McCain? I think it was Nicole Wallace that said she couldn't vote for him with Palin on the ticket. Not really all that surprising, you need to be smart to run or work on a Presidential campaign, way too smart to vote for the idiots that the GOP has been nominating lately.
