WARNING: You are entering a "no-politics" zone.
No political views from me, no political views from you. (Thank you!)
HERE'S THE DEAL:
Kellyanne Conway's "Here's the Deal" memoir was the real deal.
A 5-star real deal.
I enjoy "tell-all" memoirs penned by controversial women who defy the odds and that is how/why Kellyanne Conway's book landed on my phone.
The book was exceptionally well written with plenty of reveals.
Kellyanne Conway was the first woman to run a successful U.S. presidential campaign and she had a very compelling story to tell -- personally and professionally --before, during, and after the White House.
Readers learn that Kellyanne was abandoned by her father when she was 3 years old and raised by "The Golden Girls" (her mother, grandmother, and two aunts) in small-town Atco, New Jersey.
In her memoir, she discussed the challenges of being a public figure/working mom and the huge impact that this had on her husband and four children.
She addressed her husband's transformation from a Trump supporter (and Kellyanne supporter!) to an anti-Trump warrior and Kellyanne backstabber, with sensitivity, kindness, and a poignant reminder to readers that George Conway was the father of their four children.
I listened to the audiobook that was read by Kellyanne.
I always love it when authors read their own memoirs and Kellyanne did an outstanding job with the narration.
One does not have to share Kellyanne's political views to be completely wowed by her story and her positivity.

Sometimes I read a book written by someone I don’t align with politically to make sure I am giving the other side a fair hearing, especially if they are maligned constantly in the media. Occasionally I find fresh ideas and perspectives.
And then there is Kellyanne Conway.
To be fair, when she writes about the guilt that woman feel when they are pulled between work and family it is powerful and well written.
And then there is the rest of the book.
You can offer the truth or you can slavishly make Trump look good all the time, but you can’t do both. Guess where she ends up?
Case in point: The inept Sean Spicer begins his first press conference raging about the largest inauguration ever. Conway whines about having to fix it on the Sunday shows where she hits it out of the park with ‘Alternative Facts.’
She never mentions that it was Trump who insisted that Spicer lie about the size of the crowd.
She believes that the only possible explanation of her husband becoming a fervent anti Trumper is the thrill of the likes and hits. It never ever occurs to her that he believed that Trump is a danger to democracy.
The meanness, the cheap shots, the incredible thin skin of someone who can dish it out but is shocked when someone pushes back; it’s all here. There is fun to be had when she attacks Jared and Meadows, but it’s nothing more than settling scores, not a serious look at the most dysfunctional WH ever.
If she had an editor this 500 page book with a thyroid condition could have eliminated 100 pages of mindless repetition. How many times do we need to hear that woman are the health care managers of their homes? It is seemingly never enough.
I believe that the agonizing many chapters before Trump shows up that detail the names of any person she has ever gazed upon might be read to political prisoners in order to procure a confession. It’s that painful.
She calls Trump brilliant and is still with him after January 6. It’s all you need to know about this light weight mean spirited embarrassment.

It’s just like hearing her on television only there are no interruptions from hosts and no commercials.
From her life as a young child in S. Jersey thru every moment of her experiences with Trump and his political adventures, Kellyanne Conway shares her story; every bit, by bit of it. This girl can talk!
Contrary to other books from those who worked in the White House, KAC doesn’t focus on dropping earth shattering bombs or trashing others. “Here’s the Deal” is an honest tell-all of her life as a pollster, mom and senior staffer for DJT. She had an unique position from which to observe and report and spent over 5 years working closely with Trump.
As the only woman to run a successful presidential campaign, she’s got
contacts and experiences that are very interesting. How she navigated thru the male dominated fields makes for intriguing reading. KAC writes with passion and honesty while inviting the reader inside her world. She shares her feelings and fears, hopes and dreams along with the difficult. Truly, her accomplishments are amazing but she’s humble and concerned more about the welfare of those around her.
It was concern for her family that drove Kellyanne to step down from her position in the White House. After crossing all the T’s and dotting the I’s in D.C. she headed off to N.J. and her family for “Less Drama, More Mama” - there was plenty of drama to go around at home!
I did learn some new things from reading this book. Kellyanne isn’t mean or snarky but she is direct and honest about people. She shares her feelings about family members that she worked very closely with as well as other senior staff. There are insights into the new administration as well as house and senate key personnel. She has had intimate dealings with most of the players in D.C. for years, as a pollster and as part of Trumps team but only speaks about what she herself observed or participated in. There’s no “he said, she said” innuendo in this book.
“Here’s the Deal” is a worthy read📚

I'm a liberal. I read this so you don't have to.
It's somewhat sad that one of the most enjoyable books I've read this year was this one, but it was fascinating. I always unpack a person's psyche when reading autobiographies and memoirs and this one was no different. I've had a admiration for her and have never wished her bad things, unlike most of the Trump train passengers. I admire her savviness, though I know it was used for evil and not good. So, who is she? She has a healthy ego, but who doesn't in DC. Her Trump blinders are fully bolted to the sides of her head, so much so that it was interesting to read how she experienced everything from his presidency that made the rest of us sick to our stomachs. She valued how he treated her as a woman and she relished her proximity to him. So who did she hate? Well this was candid and interesting. Steve Bannon was pretty much as you would expect, the head leaker from the White House who she saw as a carpetbagger. And oh does she hate Jared Kushner, who she described as an entitled arrogant prick. All of Trump's "successes" she places squarely on her shoulders and all his failures on everyone else but him. Then there's her marriage... she pulls no punches and rips her husband for turning on Trump so publicly. She seemed to think it was because he enjoyed the Twitter following, not because he saw the hot mess at the head of the country. She holds her deepest contempt for reporters who approached her daughter Claudia, who was a support of BLM and was very public on TikTok about how things were going at home. I don't know how I feel about that; I'm a journalist myself. Whether or not to contact a 15 year old who is the daughter of arguably one of the most powerful people in the country is a topic for future journalism classes I hope. At points I wondered if the book was fact checked... or if these were "alternative facts." She actually said that the Trump Administration saw a reduction in overdoses that hadn't been seen in 30 years. That is blatantly false and the opposite is true. She did however try to convince the president that he did in fact lose the election, so she's not totally on planet clueless. Ultimately I was left with this: She was indeed a huge part of Trump's success and victory. That meant that any of his screwups or bad public perceptions... his failures... were an extension of her, and that could not be. Cognitive dissonance. Then there's the GOP elephant in the room... She goes on and on about morals and ethics of the media and wanting to do the right thing for America, all that crap, and then backs an immoral malignant narcissist who clapped as the Capitol burned. All the vitriol she had for Hillary and Hunter Biden could be turned right back on the man she adores, who is guilty of graver sins. All that said, I do find the unraveling of her marriage sad and I care about her and her family. I hope everyone is OK in the end.

I picked this up on a whim at Barnes and Noble the other day. I was not a huge fan of KellyAnne, but I was blown away by this book. She is and was a great role model whose views are inline with so many of us. I highly recommend this book to everyone! Kudos to KellyAnne Conway! I never gave her enough credit.

Smart, witty and refreshing. Kellyanne is a sober voice in a sea of disorder.

Here’s MY deal: I don’t like Trump or what his election said about this country, not at all. But at the same time, the phenomenon of Trump completely fascinates me, so I keep reading firsthand accounts of the Trump White House in order to try to find the answer to the burning question: “WTF?”
Kellyanne Conway was Trump’s campaign manager in 2016 and his advisor after that. I didn’t know anything about her before reading this book. What I know after reading this book:
1) She is a very smart and very accomplished woman.
2) We have significant political differences. That has zero to do with why I dislike her (at least I dislike the way she presents herself in this book).
3) I cannot even imagine the state of her marriage right now after she spent the entire second half of the book telling the world how terrible her husband is. (Not that I disagree — he IS horrible. On the other hand, how could anyone married to her survive without finding some off the wall outlet like anti-Trump ranting on Twitter?)
4) If you’re really humble, you don’t flaunt your own accomplishments, generally speaking.
5) While she makes a lot of sense in much of the book, listening to her defend the idea of “alternative facts” and argue that science proves there shouldn’t be abortion is absolutely mind-boggling.
6) I checked out her teenage daughter’s TikTok and was meanly thrilled at the thought that Kellyanne has to deal with this.
7) Amazingly, I loathe Trump less with every book I read about him. Don’t get me wrong, I still loathe him. But I do see the appeal.
So, did I like this book? Yes! Very readable even if the audiobook made me feel 16 hours worth of scolded, screamed at, and being “less than” the accomplished Kellyanne. Still, it was not a bad book.

June 18, 2022If you’re trying to convince people that everyone hates you because you’re smart and successful and not because you’re a piece of human garbage, maybe don’t pronounce coup de grace as coop de grass while narrating your own book. Lol. What a moron. No, sweetie, they hate you because you’re an awful human being. Even her husband and daughter hate her, and the frequent airing of family drama throughout the book, would be awkward as hell on its own, but is made much worse by the fact that she consistently chooses Trump over her family on even the craziest, most ridiculous issues.
The idea that we wasted tax payer dollars on the Mueller investigation is also very stupid. The government seized more money from Trump associate Paul Manafort alone than was spent on the investigation, when you factor in the other players from the Trump administration that had ties to Russia (that’s a long list), it’s even more of a net positive financially. What. A. Moron.

I have once again decided to embark on a mission to read a number of books on subjects that will be of great importance to the upcoming 2024 US Presidential Election. This was a great success as I prepared for 2020, with an outcome at the polls (and antics by both candidates up to Inauguration Day) that only a fiction writer might have come up with at the time! Many of these will focus on actors and events intricately involved in the US political system over the last few years, in hopes that I can understand them better and, perhaps, educate others with the power to cast a ballot. I am, as always, open to serious recommendations from anyone who has a book I might like to include in the process.
This is Book #10 in my 2024 US Election Preparation Challenge.
While I find that a number of those who support Donald Trump to be highly sycophantic, when I started reading this book, I may have discovered someone who could challenge this rule. Kellyanne Conway served under the 45th President of the United States for a number of years and supported him repeatedly, but she appears to have shown her own views in this piece. The Conway perspective, when not melded to Trump, is one worth my time. Conway explores her long-time work with the Republicans, but also the personal sentiments she has come to possess as a mother, wife, and presidential confidante. Conway does support many of the Trump gaffes, but she does so with her own evidence, rather than simply sipping fro the Kool-Aid. Nothing within the book has left me wanting to rethink my views, but I left the reading experience feeling better educated and more well-rounded about the Trump time in the White House, which one can only hope will not be repeated. A well-paced book that left me highly entertained. Conway does well and shows that she can see above the political fray, though prefers her family to fall in line.
In a youth that was filled with strong women and an absent father, Kellyanne Fitzpatrick developed her sharp-witted delivery in small-town New Jersey. She found a way to make a difference while never settling for whatever others told her. She had a passion for sports, boys, and even some curiosities about politics. Her upbringing never left her wanting and she did the best she could with the education she received. Her post-secondary would see her earn a law degree and place a career ahead of any romantic connections, something that Kellyanne mentions repeatedly in the opening chapters of this memoir.
While she had learned a great deal at home, her passions lay in the big city. Focussing her time in NYC, Kellyanne would enter the world of cutthroat politics when she began polling fro the Republicans. She had a vision and used her ideas to help candidates achieve higher office. She was soon a respected voice in electoral politics and making a name for herself at the national level. Her prowess caught the attention of another GOP hard-hitter, George Conway, who had a weakness for her and began an elaborate courting. As Kellyanne explains it, she was slowly falling for a man, though she always vowed not to let love stand in the any of her career.
After marrying George, the new Kellyanne Conway would continue her meteoric rise in politics, while also rubbing elbows with the elite in New York including real-estate mogul Donald Trump. This would be a chance meeting that could extend into something much stronger in the years to come. As Kellyanne sought to ensure many powerful Republicans found their place in the national political scene, she made sure to focus on her family, having twins in her late 30s adding more after her fortieth birthday. Kellyanne Conway was soon building her familial base as well as a political one, melding two families into one.
In a rush of explanations, Kellyanne explains how she found herself neck-deep in the 2016 campaign, where she had been working for Ted Cruz, but was eventually pulled into the Trump vortex when he was the eventual nominee. Conway admitted he was a ‘rough around the edges’ candidate, but enjoyed this, as Trump never sought to work within the parameters that politics had to offer. Working her magic, Conway would eventually be asked to serve as campaign manager, a job she could not have expected would fall into her lap. Conway makes her personal sentiments about Hillary Clinton clear throughout this section of the book, fuelling the negativity base on smears, rather than policy views. That is to be expected of a Trump loyalist, especially one who wants to publish something with his blessing.
After victory at the polls in 2016, a shocking events for all involved, though no one admits it except in passing, Conway was ready to govern. She worked with Trump to choose the best people to fill key roles and then dove headlong into the act of getting things done. Conway seeks to explain many of the key things she wanted to do with Trump in the White House to sweep away many of the Obama-era choices that had been left for the Trump Administration. Saddled with trying to make effective change, Conway focussed much of her time and explaining away the various actors who would serve in the Administration, as well as how Trump refused to toe the line or work inside the box of political expectations.
Conway does well to explore many of the major policy decisions the Trump White House sought to peddle. What is somewhat odd is that Kellyanne, an educated woman who had been working in national politics for so long, still acts ignorant or confused as to why Democrats might sit down and cordially discuss topics and then vote another way after the fact. It is this that left me the most confused throughout the reading. Are we to believe that she was clueless or just did not get it? Or, on the other hand, is she trying to fan the flames of the less than educated reader? Whatever it might be, it is not lost on those who remain attentive through many of the rhetoric.
While there were many highs and lows throughout, Kellyanne Conway makes it clear that she was always in control of her work life. Balancing work and family, she sought to develop as best a balance as she could. This included a turn of her husband from being a strong Republican to a highly vocal anti-Trumper for reasons he made clear to any who might listen to him. Kellyanne never attacked him for his views and made it clear to the reader that she loved him for his views, not despite them. While Kellyanne wants to make it clear that she could compartmentalise work and home, she bemoans the ‘mistress’ of Twitter her husband used to attack Trump. Another dose of apparent ignorance, as to why George could not stand down because of Kellyanne’s job, freezing out his views as an American. It was Kellyanne’s desire that her husband stand down and her ignorance to see that others have strong feelings and ought to be able to air them that left me highly agitated. Her spewing of ‘First Amendment freedoms’ likely do not expended to those who are supposed to live in her shadow.
While Kellyanne Conway chose to leave in the midst of the 2020 campaign, she seeks to explain it to the reader as being ‘time to move along’. With what she presented in the chapters beforehand and the general knowledge of the COVID-era choices by President Trump, tied into the ramped-up rhetoric. There is a clear understanding between the lines of the book that Kellyanne could not take the pressure of her husband and boss being so at odds. While she tosses out the mistress metaphor, one had to wonder if it was she who had a lover, in the metaphoric sense, she had to leave behind to keep her sanity.
A book of this nature is hard to keep balanced and easy to turn into a smear campaign, especially when it comes to being a pro-Trump politico. However, Kellyanne Conway shows that she is able to offer up some strong sentiments and political spinning throughout. Conway explores a great deal and does not skimp on her views, though she is able to support them with evidence, which is usually believable, even if she attacks anyone who speaks against Trump and pats the president on the head and supports his views. One cannot simply accept her sentiments as truth, but with strong spin in order to keep Trump looking good. She does dismiss Trump’s enemies and tries to sweep some of his views under the rug, but that is to be expected by someone who does not want to receive the scathing verbal spanking from Trump himself. She does well and keeps her chapters full of detail, which helps provide the reader with a clear pathway and some well-placed historical moments to serve as landmarks. While it is nice to see that Kellyanne Conway left before the mess of the 2020 election, one can only wonder how she might have been forced to spin things to make the Trump loss look like another whining session. A great book and full of wonderful stories. Sycophants, take note... you can still support without being seen as a robot, but keep your spouse in line and guilt him into suppressing his views if your boss cannot take it.
Kudos, Madam Conway, for this refreshing look at politics.

Conway makes her personal sentiments about Hillary Clinton clear throughout this section of the book, fuelling the negativity base on smears, rather than policy views. That is to be expected of a Trump loyalist, especially one who wants to publish something with his blessing.
After victory at the polls in 2016, a shocking events for all involved, though no one admits it except in passing, Conway was ready to govern. She worked with Trump to choose the best people to fill key roles and then dove headlong into the act of getting things done. Conway seeks to explain many of the key things she wanted to do with Trump in the White House to sweep away many of the Obama-era choices that had been left for the Trump Administration. Saddled with trying to make effective change, Conway focussed much of her time and explaining away the various actors who would serve in the Administration, as well as how Trump refused to toe the line or work inside the box of political expectations.
Conway does well to explore many of the major policy decisions the Trump White House sought to peddle. What is somewhat odd is that Kellyanne, an educated woman who had been working in national politics for so long, still acts ignorant or confused as to why Democrats might sit down and cordially discuss topics and then vote another way after the fact. It is this that left me the most confused throughout the reading. Are we to believe that she was clueless or just did not get it? Or, on the other hand, is she trying to fan the flames of the less than educated reader? Whatever it might be, it is not lost on those who remain attentive through many of the rhetoric.
While there were many highs and lows throughout, Kellyanne Conway makes it clear that she was always in control of her work life. Balancing work and family, she sought to develop as best a balance as she could. This included a turn of her husband from being a strong Republican to a highly vocal anti-Trumper for reasons he made clear to any who might listen to him. Kellyanne never attacked him for his views and made it clear to the reader that she loved him for his views, not despite them. While Kellyanne wants to make it clear that she could compartmentalise work and home, she bemoans the ‘mistress’ of Twitter her husband used to attack Trump. Another dose of apparent ignorance, as to why George could not stand down because of Kellyanne’s job, freezing out his views as an American. It was Kellyanne’s desire that her husband stand down and her ignorance to see that others have strong feelings and ought to be able to air them that left me highly agitated. Her spewing of ‘First Amendment freedoms’ likely do not expended to those who are supposed to live in her shadow.
While Kellyanne Conway chose to leave in the midst of the 2020 campaign, she seeks to explain it to the reader as being ‘time to move along’. With what she presented in the chapters beforehand and the general knowledge of the COVID-era choices by President Trump, tied into the ramped-up rhetoric. There is a clear understanding between the lines of the book that Kellyanne could not take the pressure of her husband and boss being so at odds. While she tosses out the mistress metaphor, one had to wonder if it was she who had a lover, in the metaphoric sense, she had to leave behind to keep her sanity.
A book of this nature is hard to keep balanced and easy to turn into a smear campaign, especially when it comes to being a pro-Trump politico. However, Kellyanne Conway shows that she is able to offer up some strong sentiments and political spinning throughout. Conway explores a great deal and does not skimp on her views, though she is able to support them with evidence, which is usually believable, even if she attacks anyone who speaks against Trump and pats the president on the head and supports his views. One cannot simply accept her sentiments as truth, but with strong spin in order to keep Trump looking good. She does dismiss Trump’s enemies and tries to sweep some of his views under the rug, but that is to be expected by someone who does not want to receive the scathing verbal spanking from Trump himself. She does well and keeps her chapters full of detail, which helps provide the reader with a clear pathway and some well-placed historical moments to serve as landmarks. While it is nice to see that Kellyanne Conway left before the mess of the 2020 election, one can only wonder how she might have been forced to spin things to make the Trump loss look like another whining session. A great book and full of wonderful stories. Sycophants, take note... you can still support without being seen as a robot, but keep your spouse in line and guilt him into suppressing his views if your boss cannot take it.
Kudos, Madam Conway, for this refreshing look at politics.

Yes I do lean to the right. I spent a lot of time watching Kellyanne debating large teams of CNN and MSNBC jackals. They weren't really fair fights because she swatted aside all their Never-Trump rants without any difficulty. She does the same thing in her book. I would have enjoyed more from her regarding her education and business practices. I hope her next book will be even more biographical. More to follow.

wow! A Front Row Seat
Kelly Anne is this clear and forceful a writer as she is the speaker. I definitely recommend this book for your reading and thinking pleasure.

Back in 2016, I was thrilled to learn that Kellyanne Conway graduated from the same college I had attended but I was dismayed that the college did nothing to honor her achievement. I wanted to somehow let her know that I was ready to cheer for her. However, I found out it wasn't so easy to contact her.
I downloaded KA Conway's memoire the moment it came out this week, and I have been reading it continuously for the past four days. After reading her story, I understand the background about why she's not easily found on social media.
About her memoire: Conway refreshed my memory about all those details of the 2016 presidential campaign and Trump's term. I had heard so many of the names in the media but could never make head or tail at the time of who was who.
I'm sorry that people who are anti-Trump are not likely to try reading this book, because it really is informative and it has important encouragement for a woman who wants to be "the product of her choices, not the victim of her circumstances."
I downloaded the book to find a way to tell Kellyanne Conway that I could relate to her, but I discovered that, actually, she could relate to me. So that's the deal, and I think it's a good one.

Kellyanne Conway details her life and the Trump presidency in a down to earth, pragmatic and vulnerable way. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Behind the scenes look at inner Washington, DC shenanigans against a strong, intelligent, extremely capable woman (raised by 4 Italian women) who wasn't having any of it. Good for you Kellyanne! Great memoir. Great Lady!

Quite a talker. Memoir is personal more than political.
She is Catholic and raised in a home with 4 other women- all of her Mother's generation or older. Grandma, two aunts.
Her life with her 4 kids, husband is photo opted and filled with tales of all the years. Married in 2001- her husband turned on her and was out of the picture before the 20 year mark. He seems like a jealous celebrity want to be.
All the personalities are drama prone and loudly entwined, IMHO. Reminds me of many large clans and neighborhood starts in the last century. Hers is New Jersey. She's tough and highly self promoting. And I do not think it was anything that started in 2015 either. She is an actual accurate poll evaluator. Right now they are nil.
Too many details and too long overall, IMHO, this memoir. The insider cabals never interest me as they do all these communications or PR lawyer types. It seems to be their very meat. Others love to read about the groups always plying for access. I just don't. Kellyanne is honest and forthright with extra information. Here she gets repetitive at points. She doesn't do the generalized non-answer very often. Unlike what we presently hear daily.
For the length of the copy, I felt I knew Kellyanne. But I don't find I would be at all apt to be so filled with peppy superlatives after being such a target for nasties. The personal attacks even here on Goodreads are just not deserved. She doesn't suffer fools. Doesn't sound as if her Mother or Grandmother ever have either. No one who has that job or any of the ones that lead to it would or could be sweet "butter wouldn't melt in my mouth" personalities.
All mothers who are career women feel pulled by the opposing time elements and responsibilities. Sometimes it makes them BETTER at both. Do I know it.

Great read! She’s a Jersey Girl and tough as nails. I found her story about the 2016 election fascinating and amazing that she pulled off what no other person could have done. She is a genius pollster who understood how to deep dive into the real issues. She convinced Trump to allow her to bypass national polls which are just popularity contest and to focus on winning the swing states districts that could assist Trump win the electoral college. When Trump won she became an assistant counsel to the President. She endured Bannon and Kushner despite their leaks to the press and their attempts to get her fired. She told how Kushner circumvented all process and procedure while he was counsel to the President and was not well liked within the West Wing. Kushner took over the 2020 election and wouldn’t allow Kellyanne to assist. He’s one reason Trump lost in 2020. It was also sad to read about the demise of her marriage to George Conway. Conway was a fan for the first two years of the Trump’s presidency and for some unknown reason he turned on him. Conway found new found fame on Twitter and got caught up with his new liberal followers as he trashed Trump on a daily basis. It was sad what he did to his marriage and his four kids. I loved Kellyanne’s candor. She is the queen of good quotes. She told her story and it was a fascinating read. She has my ultimate respect❤️🇺🇸💙

KellyAnne Conway, a pollster, holds the distinction of being the first woman to run a successful presidential campaign. (Other women have run Democratic campaigns, but their candidates didn't win). She was Donald Trump's campaign manager in 2016, and after that, became a special advisor in his administration.
Her memoir covers her early life on up to and through the White House position. I read the book hoping for some insider insights into Trump and his presidency. I got some of that, but of course, most of the book was on Kellyanne. There was a lot anger in this book resulting from how she was treated as a result of working for Trump, the manipulation of her children by internet trolls, and the issues with her husband.
(Her husband George had been a supporter of Trump and had wanted to work at the WH. But the former nonTweeter became an anti-Trumper, spending his days attacking Trump on Twitter. Hate Trump or not, imagine if your spouse began publicly attacking your boss. Awkward!).
She dishes the dirt on a lot of WH aides, and it's obvious who she liked and didn't like. She never said a bad word about Trump or his daughter Ivanka.
So, objective? No. But interesting? Yes.

There is some valuable information here if you can work through the elementary school name calling, the self promotion and blind eye to faults in all areas of her life.
It does show the cost of serving a president like Donald Trump. She was willing to make the sacrifices he demanded of his followers. Probably the most defining moment is a little more than half way through the book when she says, "I have two men in my life. One was my husband. One was my boss, who happened to be the president of the United States. .....I love Donald Trump, but he is my boss, that's my job, and its term in limited; marriage is totally different, far more sacred and permanent." Then she goes on to trash her husband in defense of Trump and committed to serving him before anything else.
Her pride in being a powerful woman makes her feel she was the best and brightest in the administration, including at times her boss, and trashes almost everyone else, even her bosses family when they don't listen to her. She enjoyed her husband being referred to as Mr. Kellyanne Conway and felt that he should have bowed to her and her bosses demands, even when he began to see what reality was. In the end she says that sacred permanent marriage may not survive. Interesting cost to be willing to pay for making a choice that seemed so powerful at the time.
Like most that have written about the Trump administration from the inside she wants you to believe she was different from everyone else, was the presidents closest and most listened to advisor. That is, until the reelection campaign when she says she stepped aside to spend more time with her family, her kids, then complained they didn't run the campaign like she would have.
If you can weed through the self righteousness there is insight into the Trump presidency.

What I have learned in this book. Kellyanne Conway is perfect and has not done anything wrong, and also Trump is the best President we have ever or will ever have. Nothing is never hers or DJT's fault, because it is usually Jared's. Conway introduced the world to Alternate Facts which she claimed was a mistake, but never made corrections. She glosses or doesn't mention events that she cannot put a positive spin. In her defense, she wasn't always involved so she really shouldn't speak on those topics. While you don't hear it in her voice if you actually focus to her words she is a very angry and bitter woman - especially when it comes to her husband. It is more important for her to get a zing than it is to kind. She has no issues parading her children around and taking advantage of the perks her position, however, she is highly critical of the press for putting her family for covering what they publicly put out on social media. She refers to her husband as "cheating by Tweet" and is much kinder about Trump's Tweets than her own husbands. I'm not sure why they are still married, and obviously don't talk very much to each other or she would have a better understanding of his decision to no longer support Trump. I hope is about to find happiness with her family being a stay at home mother and living out of the spotlight.

CANDID BIOGRAPHY OF A TALENTED PERSON
I enjoyed this Biography of an academically sharp, astute person. Kelly Anne stood her ground against bias and chauvinism. I first heard her while I was listening to a radio interview. I sensed she was one smart, confident person wh did not suffer fools.
I began following her career. This biography reports how competent she is. Plus she sounds like a loving parent. My only regret is that her marriage may not survive.
Recommend this book.

Excellence in life and service.
Highly recommended. I was looking for some first hand information about life in the White House and the real Donald Trump and the team he assembled that accomplished so much. Kellyanne did an outstanding job.

If you've ever watched Ms Conway being interviewed on TV over the past 6 years, two things about her are quickly apparent: she loves to hear the sound of her own voice ("I like to talk", she says), and she has a hard time directly answering a question posed to her if she finds the subject not to her liking. She has a habit of rambling into a stream of consciousness that soon finds you miles away from the original question.
In her book, Here's the Deal, she does the same thing. She begins this 524-page tome of self-congratulation by writing about the group of 5 women who raised her (mother, grandmother and 2 aunts) in the small NJ town of Atco, telling readers again and again how special her family of women found her to be, so they even gave her a room of her own when everyone else had to share a room. From there, the reader is subjected to another 506 pages of recalling every conversation she ever had (or so it seems) with her mentors, her husband, Trump, his family, his Cabinet, and everyone who lived or worked in the Whitehouse. One thought leads to another until you're not sure where the conversation is even headed, or how you even got there. But one thing stands out: Kellyanne is exceptional, and no one appreciates that except for Trump and the women who raised her.
But make no mistake about it--this is a book about settling scores. She uses a scalpel (not an ax, like the writers of so many other "tell-all" books since 2020) on anyone who she feels didn't pay her the respect for her intellect and abilities that she so obviously feels were due her, including Jared Kushner ("Maybe Jared was not much of a Kellyanne person," according to Melania), Brad Parscale, Mike Pompeo, the list goes on and on and on, for page after page after mind-numbing page. Finally, the end of the book takes you to a dinner with Trump and Melania at Mar-a-Lago in 2021, and after a dinner of shrimp, steak and key lime pie (details!), Trump tells Conway exactly what she wants to hear, "Write a great book, honey. You made history. You were the first woman. You did a fantastic job. You should talk about it. "
Which she does, although I would hardly call it great.

Great book. Kellyanne Conway is an amazing woman. She is the epitome of what a feminist should be in my opinion. She laudes professional women and their accomplishments without skipping a beat about their politics or religious beliefs. She comes off both on air as well as in her book as a gracious, decent individual. She is the first woman to run a winning presidential campaign and all she got was grief because it was for Donald Trump. I have zero respect for "women's groups" because they don't defend ALL women, only the ones that support the left ideology. Those groups never defended her, Palin, Bachman, Kelley or countless other conservative women.
Her husband and daughter turned on her politically and she continue to act with poise and maintained her composure even during hatchet jobs by activists posing as journalists. These very same activists turn around now and give softball questions to their party administration.
In her book, she praises Donald Trump but has no qualms going after his son-in-law or others in the administration. I learned a lot about her and about DJT. As I stated before she seems gracious and very humble. I would love to see her step up to an elected role.
One of the most memorable lines from the book for me was "Hate corrodes the container in which it lives". I read some negative reviews of this book but after reading it, I can see it was by people upset that she did not confirm their fallacy of the orange boogeyman.

Kellyanne Conway is a true symbol of the American Dream. She came from very humble beginnings, but through good decision-making, grit, and insatiable desire, worked her way to the White House. Agree or disagree with her politics, no one can deny the effect she's had on this country. Many people knew before, and more will definitely know now - listen to Kellyanne, and good things will happen. Unfortunately, it seems like Trump lent his ear to many people who only had their best interests in mind. Kellyanne truly cares about this country, about the common people that make up this great nation.
Thank you, Kellyanne, for everything you've done, everything you've given. You sacrificed so much for the Trump administration, and for the good of this nation. It's a real shame that the insidious liberals got to your family in order to tear you down. They can't handle someone like you, a woman, breaking ceilings they said couldn't be broken in the conservative sphere. You proved all of them, on both sides, wrong with your accomplishments. You made liberals look bad. You made conservatives look like the stodgy, obtuse, idiots they are. And for that, you had to be brought low.
My prayer is that no matter what, your children will grow and know full well how much their mother loves them, and how much she loves this country. You are the American Dream.

1.5 stars. The parts of this that were most interesting were when she was talking about the dynamics of the white house and the sexism she experienced. However, her tone was so abrasive and it was difficult to read her Republican party diatribes

A fantastic and illuminating summary by a genius and American patriot.
