Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump shook up his campaign Wednesday, appointing a new campaign manager to his team, GOP pollster Kellyanne Conway.
The Trump campaign announced that Conway will be serving as the senior advisor to campaign chair, Paul Manafort.
So, who is Conway, how will she affect Trump’s campaign… and what does her promotion mean for voters?
—
1. She is a self-made, successful business woman
In 1995, Conway founded The Polling Company, Inc. /Woman Trend, described as a “privately-held, woman-owned corporation,” on the website. Her work for the polling company has allowed her to advance her position to “one of the most quoted and noted pollsters on the national scene, having provided commentary on over 1,500 television shows.”
The company correctly predicted the outcomes of major races in 2012, a year when few GOP pollsters were accurate in their estimates. All of the general election candidates they predicted in 2014 came out on top, showing her percentage of accuracy is incredibly high.
—
2. She’ll appeal to female voters
Conway has spent much of her career studying the trends of women in politics and is an expert when it comes to the gender gap. It’s clear the Trump campaign is hoping to appeal more to female voters with the help of Conway, announcing that she is “widely regarded as an expert on female consumers and voters.”
One division of the company she founded is WomanTrend, which tracks the “social, cultural, financial, professional and health trends influencing – and being influenced by – women,” as described on their website. Conway’s work with WomanTrend allows her to understand the modern-day woman and will greatly influence the way she aids Trump in appealing to these voters.
—
3. She is a proven conservative
Prior to working with Trump, Conway was a strategist with the pro-Ted Cruz super PAC “Keep the Promise I”, and helped to run attack ads against Donald Trump.
Cruz isn’t the only big name conservative Conway has worked for. Conway has worked for Trump’s running mate Gov. Mike Pence, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, President Reagan’s pollster Richard Wirthlin, and multiple Congressmen and women.
—
4. Her husband has taken on Bill Clinton
Conway’s husband, George T. Conway III, is a lawyer with Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen and Katz, and has fought for conservative principles in court for years.
Most notably, George Conway worked for Paula Jones in her sexual assault allegations against Bill Clinton. He also did pro bono work to represent crime victims and public-interest groups in “opposing claims that federal law requires the State of New York to allow felons to vote while still incarcerated,” his New York law firm’s website says.
—
5. She’s a proud mother of four
During her successful career in politics, Conway has also managed to find time to be a successful mom and raised four children, ages six, seven, and two eleven-year-olds. When asked what her priorities are she said, “Family. Faith. Constant motion.”
Conway prides herself on the fact that her three daughters have plenty of options in their future, and they can be a successful moms and business women all at the same time.
—
Trump has a history of filling his high level business leadership teams with smart, ambitious women.
The history extends to Trump’s presidential campaign strategy, as Conway’s promotion proves.

They need to have commercials on tv. I haven’t seen a Trump ad on yet. All I see are Hillary ads and a biased media.
F beijani says
Starting any day now
Maxx says
What I hate is that all of the social media sites and tools are forcing everyone to see pictures of Hildabitch ach and every day and it would not surprise me to find out she is not paying a penny for any of it. Even the email IPS sites are flooded with Clinton garbage. No doubt who the owners support. This should be banned.
Rebecca says
No,She is’nt paying.It’s that financial genius George Soros who’s paying.A VERY sick man who’s also xtremely anti Israel ( although he’s Jewish himself).He also wants just ANYONE to come into the country.Go figure !!!
Flash28 says
Saw Trump tonight. Very Great speech.
He is now on the upswing.
NANCY HAKES says
YES, IT WAS A G-R- E-A- T, SPEECH, I WENT TO BED
FEALING MUCH BETTER..
I TRIED TO DVR THE SPEECH, BUT THE DVR SHUT OFF ON ME.
I TRUST DONALD J. TRUMP, WITH MY LIFE.
I WISH DONALD WOULD ADVERTISE ON TV A LITTLE BIT.
GO LETS MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
WHISH HE WOULD ADVERTISE A LITTLE ON TV,ETC
Helen Hollingsworth says
What do you suppose motivates this guy ? Pure evil ? or getting even with white America to bring in all these multicolored 3rd worlders ? Makes him more elite instead of the ghetto rat that has $$$$$ ? Clinton is his puppet ,even Chelsea’s wedding was at his compound in Rhinebeck NY…….
Carl Simpson says
I agree… and the nukes ad, is misleading weak garbage
Lori says
Trump is going to start in the next few days with many more ads..I think people know those Clinton advertisements are nothing but propaganda and junk people won’t even blink an eye too. Trump is smart to save his advertising against the Witch until now…anything earlier would have been a waste of money and time. Besides, deep down, people know who is trustworthy and who is not. The Clintons have a long history of being the lying , cheating criminals they are. Somehow they always seems to get away with it..well, they are NOT above the law, no one is, and like everyone else, their judgement day will come. We all know they do it by threatening, blackmailing, or paying someone off..take your pick. They think WE THE PEOPLE are stupid. They underestimate us. TRUMPS BEEN AND IS AN ACCOMPLISHED BUSINESSMAN most ALL HIS LIFE and IF PEOPLE JUST REMEMBER THAT , they won’t need much any thing else from TRUMP. TRUMP/PENCE 2016!!!
Don says
I can’t wait for the Presidential debates to begin. I hope Trump is loaded for bear to counter Hillary’s constant lying. It won’t be a lovefest, that we can count on!!!!!!
alicia says
You will be waiting a long time, Trump will not debate Hillary, he is too scared. You can lie all you want to and at Trump rallys, but he won’t get away with it on debate. BRING IT ON. Hillary 2016.
Trump is just a narcissistic liar.
dee says
your calling trump a lier??? hillery is the queen of liers And has been caught in most of them and has jeperdised the safety of this country to
RICHARD COLLIER says
WRONG
Rose says
Alicia you’re dreaming again. You have your characters in reverse!! Go back to sleep and try again. Don’t you know that she is the biggest liar we ever had running for this office! So much has been proven but I guess money talks. I promise not to read anything ever posted by you.
Karen says
Wow….you are clueless…..how sad for you!
Freedom says
WRONG….WRONG…WRONG…..
Donald Trump will DESTROY H-BOMB Clinton in the Debates…
Flash28 says
Poor Alicia! How could she be so misguided by Hillarys evil ways?
I will agree however, she does put on on a happy smiling persona whenever I see he on TV. Always smiles and friendly to all.
But a book cant be judged by its cover. Her ex body guard said “she is a wild foul mouthed bitch off camera.”
NANCY HAKES says
I THINK YOU ARE CALLING THE WRONG ON THE LIAR
LIARLY IS THE WORST LIAR ON THIS EARTH.
I,FEEL VERY SORRY FOR YOU ALICIA, YOU NEED HELP!
j cula says
YES, YES I hope it is not too late. The major networks, newspapers and media
have stonewalled the public for decades. Maybe it is not too late to reverse this.
Masanja says
She reminds of Carly, the woman Trump labeled as “that face”. Well this woman should be careful to work with people like Newt, Herman Cain, Roger Ailes who are women hunters. Once they see her they will start to salivate. Her husband should never let her interact with those women chasers including Trump himself who has now 3 wives living in Trump Tower. I do not know why this woman elected to be among these women mongers. To avoid heart attacks, please vote for Hillary on November 8 at 9 am.
Nina814 says
Soros must have sent you a hefty check for posting lies. You’re a disgrace as a human being. A pig is more intelligent than you.
Charlotte Bain says
I think you are either blind or not thinking clearly. How can you ever feel Hilary will be honest and fair with the country that she has sold to the highest bidder.
I am sure that Trump having three wives would have not a chance to be as dishonest as the Clintons have been for years. How can you come out of the White House broke and now be a billionaire?
EEL RIVER says
EASY SELL FAVORS TO THE MUSLIMS.
RICHARD COLLIER says
RIGHT ON
Rose says
The fact that they are living in Trump Towers shows how generous he has been with his ex wives. Jealous? Stick to politics.
You'd Be Surprised. says
I hope you have the ‘pleasure’ of getting stranded in an elevator alone with Bill – you know — Hitlary’s husband (…?…).
CarleyTrump says
Least TRUMP made them each HIS WIFE!! bill clinton had more MISTRESSES,, than TRUMPS HAD WIVES ,,,DUHHHHH ,and it’s ok for hc to BASH THE AMERICAN GOLDSTAR HERO’S THAT SHE HAD MURDERED ! (American Christains) But don’t let TRUMP TELL THE TRUTH TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS TO WHY MS. kahn DIDNT SPEAK IN PUBLIC, Which the TRUTH BEING that muslim women have no RIGHTS,,, JUST LIKE YOUR DUMB ASS WONT HAVE ANY EITHER IF hc GETS IN THE WH,and a lot of other reasons that probably wont affect you,such as MASSIVE INCREASE IN DEATH TAXS AND INHERITANCE TAXS.
Kenneth Stelter says
Trump is a savvy business man and not into wasting money when the return is negligible. He called the Primary advertising right and it is to early for TV ad blitzes – remember the TV audience attention and memory span is very limited. Hillary like to see herself (as ugly as it is) as much as possible – her post Convention bump is sliding back to mid July figures.
future says
–Heads up! Liberal media does many; polls r almost all slanted—-trump will win by landslide, bill made it up the hill, hill will not she is toasted, too sick
to ill to operate government. you end up getting her second choice,V. P. that no one votes for!! hill is super greedy,
we see the populace tired of the same old political scheme. Least trump will be a potential for a kinder, handle of the office to care
for many problems that he can tend to rather than have a pursuit of monies for a foundation. This clinton foundation has already 2 billion on hand, much from arab connections of course!
we missed out with billionares who could handle the proper finances and have not held this office, give the chance to a non political trained system ingrained for a true change… no more games, we have a future to give to grandchildren. we are in sore shape already for our own children, let us see what we can manifest for the children of our children. NOT a demand or priority to like senor trump, just give that level a pull and let us follow up and see just what he can pull of while in the oval—–
CarleyTrump says
TOTALY AGREE!! But all of the LIFER POLITITIONS WITH THEIR HAND IN THE COOKIE JAR ,CAN’T STAND THE THOUGHT, OF HAVING THEIR VERY OWN MONEY SOURCE TAKEN AWAY SO ABRUPTLY,to have to live life like the real WORKING PEOPLE!LOL
Peter says
It takes a woman to know how to expose a crooked woman. Men’s minds are wired differently so lets have a proven good Republican Woman heading up the “Get Hillary” campaign. CNN is stacked with Muslim sympathizers so don’t liesten to them anymore. I have stopped watching CNN as it ooooooozes Islamic hatred and misdirection. CNN are part of a bigger Islamic attack on the freedoms of the USA.
Desert Lion says
The people Trump needs to reach don’t watch commercials on TV. There are others who do, of course – seems like several here fit in that category. I don’t. I haven’t watched a TV commercial for years. What TV I do watch is always on recorded delay. The first DVR I had was a ReplayTV box, and it would skip commercials all by itself. Hated giving that up, but the company went out of business, didn’t come out with an upgraded HDTV version, and finally ended the TV listing updates. The next edition is the DVR from the cable provider, and although it won’t skip commercials on its own, the remote works almost as well. Unless a commercial really catches my attention in the one or two freeze frames I see as it zips past, no way I’m going to waste time watching it.
So, yes, Trump needs to do something to counter the millions Clinton has already spend on hard advertising. He’d better hope that his team comes up with something more effective for reaching the key swing voters who don’t waste their time on TV commercials, use web ad blockers, and most of their input from earned media, not purchased. That means breaking through the liberal media bias. They were all too happy to follow him 24/7 during the primaries, but now it’s All Clinton, All The Time unless they can cherry pick something Trump says in one sound bite from a 40-minute speech that makes him look bad. That’s a tough order, but that’s what his team has to do.
In many ways, it would be easier for him than it was for Reagan because there are so many more media outlets, most of which aren’t filtered. It wouldn’t take too many videos going viral for his message to completely overwhelm the Clinton spin machine, but zero won’t get it done. That’s where he is now.
And, lest anyone think there’s plenty of time for that to happen, he has barely six weeks to turn this around before early voting [fraud] starts in some states. If he hasn’t won hearts and minds by the end of September, the bots will already have voted as they’ve been instructed. At that point, it won’t matter whether there’s an October Surprise that puts Clinton in jail – she’d still win.
Julie says
There was a GOOD ONE on TV here in Central Florida, Brevard County…Today !!! (Friday)
Jack says
Who cares? She never backed or created a winner and she can’t put lipstick on a pig and make it anything other than a pig.
This is just another in the long line of lawyers, wall street representatives, RINO’s and insiders used to reinvigorate a floundering campaign. At this point, you better start pointing fingers at the candidate.
F beijani says
The only thing floundering is your resolve and steadfastness certainly not the Donald’s
Jack says
No, my resolve and steadfastness is not floundering: I think both Trump and Hillary are unsuitable and should be disqualified.
Charlotte Bain says
How can you set yourself above the American voters? Are you a know all of all that is involved in the things that are right for the American voters? Has someone given you the sight to see the future,or are you just so self importance that you are sure you know what is best for the people of America?
ron says
F beijani … Name this site TROLL / SHILL is today is Jack.
So what.

Dale G says
You have to admit, even if this were half true, and its much more than that, it makes Al Capone look like he was wrongfully convicted and sentenced.
lydia mclaughlin says
for sure for sure. call the Natl. Enquirer, Mike give them your excellent list!!!
Jack says
Because that’s where it belongs: National Enquirer, with all the other tabloid trash.
Gayle says
I sure do agree. Great list also send it to the FBI maybe then they will have enough information on her to indite her on corruption!!!! PUT HER IN JAIL!!!!
Tony says
Excellent work, holy cow what a list, can you post a link so all can get a copy ?
Victor- says
Mike Dar, man you almost covered their history! How bout the 5 murdered in the last 7 weeks, How bout JFK Jr, conveniently died in a plane crash, who was running against Hillder Beast in New York
Jack says
Don’t forget the three Trump’s three top casino executives that died in a crash, and then he took over and ran them into the ground!!!
Joe Horn says
You are one fu…..g idiot!! Kindly leave the country you traitor.
Jack says
OK Mike, a bit of a waste of time to educate someone who is NOT voting for Hillary.
I might add that many of your points are opinions and not facts.
Here are some facts:
Trump commits perjory under oath
allegations of sexual abuse
first time First Lady posed nude for lesbian/porn pics
hired illegal workers
Obviously, this is a small sampling to illustrate the hypocrisy.
JOHN says
This is a very short list compared to Hillarys list. You would never match the number of her misconduct, LIES, etc
Jack says
I’m not going to waste my time making a list no one here will read. Doesn’t mean I can’t. Half the things in his list are just his opinions.
Marilyn McCormick says
But Trump wasn’t an elected official during any of these things and Bill and Hillary were. Who in their right mind would stoops so low as to “steal” thousands of dollars worth of things from the White House when they left, but the Clinton’s did!! That’s not an allegation–it’s a FACT. They had to return and repay thousands of dollars worth of STOLEN items. Now that’s low that president and first lady acted on their exit. People who do such things feel they are entitled, and that is how they still act. As if they are above the law, and so far, they have been. It’s a double standard for them because of their illegally accumulated wealth in the Clinton Foundation, and their clout within the Democratic Corruption Machine.
Jack says
So any crime is acceptable if committed as a private citizen. If you seek public office, then automatically you will become an upstanding member of society? If you seek public office, it means the opportunities to be dishonest and the rewards increase. A person is honest and trustworthy…..or not. I think he’s proven he is not, as a public or private citizen.
JOHN says
For one of Trumps Ads he should have these items running across the bottom of the screen for people might put him on mute but they will read the scrolling info like they do about the weather alerts.
Christine says
Unfortunately, Hillary’s supporters have their heads in the sand—they are clueless and apathetic. The future of our country.
Terry says
Excellent! !!
ron says
Mike … Thanks Mike the TROLL doesn’t care about the truth but the rest of US do.
Brenda says
Thank you for all your facts. Wow! I did not know all of that. I appreciate all you wrote. Thank you. You should forward all so, everyone can read. It is truly an eye opener. I am for Trump. Been to his rallies in my state of Iowa.
lori schmerler says
Wow
That says it all..
So if that is the integrity of the
Democrats and their nominated candidate it’s scary to think what the rest of Senate Congress are capable of with their Skeletons in their Closets.
CarleyTrump says
OK, VERY GOOD!!! NOW POST THE PEOPLE A LIST OF ALL THE ONES THAT HAVE DIED ,SINCE THE BEGINING OF THE clinton errow!!!As matter FACT you may NEED TO WATCH YOUR BACK, With this list you just EXPOSED ,Which is ALL FACTS And YOU know this is something the clintons cannot just CANNOT DEAL WITH ,,,LOL
Abe says
Mike,
What an impressive and accurate list! You have done your homework!! Outstanding and noteworthy!
Raymond Menapace says
Great! Valuable addition to the Trump team
F beijani says
Agree
Trump 2016 says
Agreed!
lydia mclaughlin says
need to put this out where her liberal bunch of idiots can see it maybe in the enquirer?
lydia mclaughlin says
this is meant for Mike Dar.
Larry says
Excellent choice in Kellyanne. Presiden Trump has shown to those un-decided how a real chief executive works to make positive things happen by bring to the team a real honest leader in Kellyanne.
Unlike Mrs. Hillary Clinton who hires Debbie Shultz who was booed in disgrace for “cooking” and “rigging” the entire DNC against Bernie in favor of Clinton!!!
I know hard core Democrats will not change because they believe in the destruction party oops Democratic Party,
AWM says
She has four children. She’s proud of her 3 daughters. I feel sorry for the boy. His name must be Cinderfella: just good for taking out the garbage and cleaning up after the dog.
Adrienne says
After reading all of this it is more important than ever that Donald Trump be elected President! I have to wonder how many of the voting public know what people “in the know” who are informed as we are by the Horne News actually understand how corrupt the system is — and will come out to vote. The polling places will have to be full of Republican poll watchers who can not be evicted by Democrats so we do not get a repeat of what happened in 2012!!
I no longer watch mainstream media because they all belong to the Clinton machine. So sad.
William Meredith says
Well,well,well. Per the democrats Trump does not like or relate to women. This certainly looks like a woman to me. And apparently a damn good one. Self made,self assured. Muck like Donald himself. Good choice. I guarantee my vote.
NAN says
GOOD LUCK TO HER AND TO THE ENTIRE CAMPAIGN RESTRUCTURING. WE HAVE TO INFORM THE UNINFORMED AND LET THEM KNOW/SEE THAT THE DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS WILL KEEP THEM POOR, WITHOUT JOBS, WITHOUT SAFETY FROM ISIS, AND ROB THEM ALL OF SELF – ESTEEM THAT IS EARNED BY A JOB! ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS ROBBING THEM OF JOBS THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE, AND THE DEMOCRATS WANT TO INCREASE THAT BY 550%! WHO’S KIDDING WHOM?
Masanja says
She reminds of Carly, the woman Trump labeled as “that face”. Well this woman should be careful to work with people like Newt, Herman Cain, Roger Ailes who are women hunters.

I do not know why this woman elected to be among these women mongers.
Justin W says
Hopefully Conway will be able to help Donald Trump look more presidential and ultimately win. There is more at stake in this election than just Donald’s ego. Trump’s level of support will greatly affect a large number of Republican candidates who will share the ticket with him. The person elected in November will likely pick a majority of Supreme Court justices over an 8 year time span. That means whoever we elect in November will shape the country in a way that will extend beyond their lifetime.
Donald Trump has come across as an amateur. Hopefully Ms. Conway will help him look like someone we would want to vote for.
RJ TUCCI says
TRUMP IS A BETTER DEAL
