Kellyanne Conway is making the rounds and making waves on Sunday Morning Shows today. She explained onthat she would respect whatever choices President-elect Donald Trump makes, but her actions call that into question. Conway goes on record, that a selection of Mitt Romney for Secretary of State would be seen as a betrayal to the Trump supporters.
….
Kellyanne on State of the Union with Dana Bash:
“I’m all for party unity, but I’m not sure we have to pay for that with secretary of state position,” Kellyanne Conway, Trump’s campaign manager, told CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union.”
She added: “It’s just breathtaking in scope and intensity the type of messages I’ve received from all over the country … the number of people who feel betrayed to think that Gov. Romney would get the most prominent Cabinet post after he went so far out of his way to hurt Donald Trump.”
….
Conway then took to twitter to defend her remarks:
I did tell him privately. And I'll respect his decision. Point is the volume & intensity of grassroots resistance to Romney is breathtaking https://t.co/bknmfGZ13a

Conway seriously put His Oranginess in a corner here. If he doesn't go with Romney now, it shows he can be persuaded on "the shows"

Pravda is hitting Romney for his lack of Trump loyalism today. So he probably won't be SoS. #Puppets https://t.co/rm1vxKFyOu

I'm old enough to remember when I was an advisor in DC that advisors never went public on their own bosses, but that was then, I guess. https://t.co/xHM6UEyac4

Possible exp:
1. Conway's really doing this
2. Trump using her as way of killing Mitt talk
3. Fake controversy to pave for diff nominee https://t.co/CccNLEDGUr— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) November 27, 2016
If Conway is acting on her own, Trump's a lousy manager.
If she's acting with Trump's blessing, she's part of him actively running a con.— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) November 27, 2016
.@KellyannePolls says Trump getting information from phone calls with world leaders. Um, that's not how intel briefings work. @CNNSotu

It is beyond the pale for staffers to try to box the PEOTUS by talking to the public in such a direct way.

I think Kellyanne would be fantastic WH spokeswoman (even better as RNC head). Especially if she sends Trump messages via press conferences.

This is remarkable. Conway isn't just going after Romney's past anti-Trump stance. She is also wondering whether he is qualified to be SOS. pic.twitter.com/pzzPUirk5n

Are there plotlines on The Celebrity Apprentice analogous to what's happening now with Romney?

Nothing says loyalty to the boss quite like attempting to undercut his decisionmaking process on national TV.

Breaking: @JasonMillerinDC just told @megynkelly that Trump okayed @KellyannePolls's bashing of @MittRomney beforehand. pic.twitter.com/Rl9is1f1b4
