George and Kellyanne

The Washington Post has a story about the Conways' marriage. The reporter, Ben Terris, spent several days with the couple and their four children.

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.

[...]

The Conways, like the rest of the country, have been jolted by the Trump presidency. They love each other, are exasperated by each other, talk about each other behind each other’s backs.

[...]

In addition to various tweets about corgis and the Philadelphia Eagles, [George] has retweeted dozens of articles critical of the president and his administration, and he penned a 3,473-word essay rebutting Trump’s assertion that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s Russia investigation was “unconstitutional.” Because George is married to Kellyanne, the chief architect and top saleswoman for Trumpism, and because his dissent seemed to come out of nowhere, George went viral.

“If you make this story all about him, I’ll definitely push back on that after it’s printed,” Kellyanne says, talking about George. “There’s no story about me, except the overcoming of circumstance and the fact that I’m so independent.”

[...]

When George criticizes the president publicly, Kellyanne says, the media coverage and the implication that they are pitted against each other bothers their children.

[...]

“I think it’s disrespectful,” she says. “I think it disrespects his wife.”

[...]

“Nobody knows who I am because of my husband,” she says. “People know of my husband because of me.”

  WaPo

Take that, George.  (P.S.  She tried to get the reporter to attribute the disrespect comments to an anonymous person "familiar with" the Conways.)

Shortly after getting married in 2001, Kellyanne and George moved into an apartment in Manhattan’s Trump World Tower. There, George made an impression on the future president at a condo board meeting where he argued against removing Trump’s name from the building. The speech earned George an offer to join the condo board, which he declined but passed on to his wife, who accepted.

“Knowing what I know now,” George told me later, back in Washington, “I would have said no, and never mentioned it when I got home.”

[...]

In early March of this year, George changed his affiliation from Republican to “unaffiliated.” He has, according to Politico, offered unsolicited advice to journalists who have written articles critical of the president. And recently, he has been spotted at a semi-secret group of Trump skeptics known as the Meeting of the Concerned, eviscerating his wife’s boss among fellow conservatives who would like to see Trump, and by extension Kellyanne, out of a job.

If he’s being honest, that would make George happy, too.

“If there’s an issue,” George said, “it’s because she’s in that job, for that man.”

[...]

“It’s an outlet, that keeps it a small part of my life,” George says of his tweeting.

[...]

“It’s a quick easy way to express myself, that keeps me from making it a bigger part of my life,” he says.

[...]

“I think I’m actually holding back a little,” he says. “I think the reason why is obvious.”

[...]

“If my wife were the counselor to the CEO of Pepsi and I had a problem with her boss, I would simply drink my Coke and keep my mouth shut,” he says. “If the president were simply mediocre or even bad, I’d have nothing to say. This is much different.”

Hopefully, their marriage will survive it.  But it sounds like it will be George who loses out if Kellyanne's job becomes too problematic.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
