George: These potatoes taste different. What did you do to them?
Kellyanne: Tarragon, butter, and a little secret something, but I’m not going to tell you what!
George: Okay, well it’s absolutely deli…
Kellyanne: It’s Dijon mustard!
George: Oh you!
But really, they have four kids and when dinner happens it’s probably about whatever’s going on at Sidwell Friends or Georgetown Day.
You’re sending your president to mourn your dead. The major of Pittsburgh has requested that your president not be sent to mourn their dead. Thanks in advance.
“That photo was from before you cried,” Kellyanne says.
“Now I cry for other reasons,” George mutters.
Kellyanne pretends to ignore that comment, something she’s been doing a lot of lately.
“You gotta see this picture,” George, 54, says. “You should like this, it’s your boss.”
“He’s not just my boss,” Kellyanne, 51, says. “He’s our president.”
“Yeah,” George says, walking out of the room. “We’ll see how long that lasts.”
Here at the Conways’, it’s a house divided. She is Trump’s loyal adviser, the woman who carried him over the finish line to the White House. He is one of the president’s most notable conservative critics and wishes he had never introduced his wife to Trump in the first place.

“I feel there’s a part of him that thinks I chose Donald Trump over him,” Kellyanne says as we walk. “Which is ridiculous. One is my work and one is my marriage.”
I stopped at the word ego, having realized I’ve already read multiple versions of that statement along with every possible argument against it from some of the same posters on this site.
…and I have no doubt I’ll get to watch them all flip positions on this issue again in the future.
Just delay until after the funerals and shiva are over. Peduto’s not lying when he says the police department is overstretched and guess who usually does VIP protectoon details? SWAT team.
Hmmmm, you may be right. My thinking was more based on my own paradigm.
Having lived in DC for a decade, I’ve known a few of these divided couples (professionally divided, not just a Dem and a Rep). Most notably, about once a year i see a couple - husband is middle management at the RNC and wife is a lawyer within DC government.
The few times that either of them have discussed politics in front of the other has been about process rather than position. The “way” that things are done is more important than the “what” is being done.
I know some mixed couples, too–and long, long ago (in my misspent rightwing youth) I was in one myself. I was the ardent rightwingnut (those were the days!) paired with a serious and painfully earnest liberal.
The Conway’s are interesting because George is a sincere and longstanding Republican.
