Like Kellyanne Conway's husband says, it's a **** show within a dumpster

It's interesting that he feels obliged to speak up. With so many people
complaining about Stumpie, one fewer wouldn't matter much, and it seems
he's endangering his marriage. Either she agrees with him (really hard
to believe, given what she says at work) or their marriage isn't worth
much (possible) or she's incredibly tolerant (which would by definition
be unbelievable).


I don't subscribe to the idea that a married couple needs to speak with one
voice on political matters. I commend the Conway couple for having the
courage of their convictions and for speaking up for what they believe.
Interestingly, Kellyanne used to say some pretty harsh things about Trump
before she went to work for him, but that's her option.

Another example of a high profile couple with visibly different political
views is that of James Carville and Mary Matalin. Those two used to shout
and argue like cats and dogs on TV, then presumably they'd go home together
in the same car. He's a Democrat while she's a Republican.

Chester James Carville Jr. is an American political commentator, media
personality, and lawyer who is a prominent figure in the Democratic Party.

"Mary Joe Matalin is an American political consultant well known for her
work with the Republican Party. She has served under President Ronald
Reagan, was campaign director for George H. W. Bush, was an assistant to
President George W. Bush, and counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney until
2003."
