President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team announced Thursday that his former campaign manager Kellyanne Conway would join his incoming administration as counselor to the president.
According to the statement, Conway “will continue her role as a close advisor to the president” and work with “senior leadership” on behalf of Trump’s administration.
Trump praised her as a “tireless and tenacious advocate” who “played a crucial role” in his election victory, as quoted in the statement.
The statement also lauded Trump’s victory as a triumph that “shattered the glass ceiling for women,” citing Conway’s status as the first female campaign manager to work for a candidate who won the presidential election.
Conway said she was “humbled and honored” to be named to the position.
Al Gore won the presidency, at least as far as actual voters were concerned. And his campaign manager was a woman.
If he adds a couple of more advisers, combined IQ might soon break 100.

So is Conway the final particle added to the mix to keep the ball of confusion in perpetual motion? Did the Mercers declare this and make it so? Will we be in constant campaign mode for the next four years? And is plastic surgery covered under her agreement to stay? All questions I guess will be answered in the next National Enquirer.
Mercers finally made up their mind, eh? Probably want her to keep a close eye on Trump’s erratic starts.
