Kellyanne and George Conway

 

I follow US politics as I find it very interesting.  I don't blog about my beliefs, but I am deeply troubled about what's transpired in the last 24 hours.  George and Kellyanne were married in 2001.  They have four children and live in Washington, DC.   They lived in Trump Tower from 2001 to 2008 and became friends with Donald Trump.  When he was running for President, Donald hired Kellyanne as a Senior Advisor and she's held a few high profile jobs at the White House.  She is frequently interviewed on various US news shows.  She is a devoted Trump supporter.

George is a very successful lawyer earning his degree from Yale Law School.  I follow both of them on Twitter.  George is a Republican but he is no longer a Trump supporter.  He is very outspoken about his beliefs and a founder of Project Lincoln, a "Republicans Against Trump" group.  For sometime, I've wondered what dinner is like at their house.  They have four teenage children.  

Yesterday took a nasty turn.  Their daughter, Claudia, 15 is so upset her mother is speaking at the Republican National Convention, she wants emancipation from her family.

Raising teens today is not an easy task.  Both parents have taken drastic action to heal their family.  Kellyanne will leave her job at the White House at the end of the week.  George is stepping away from Twitter and Project Lincoln to spend time and repair his family.  I hope they work with Claudia and the other children to mend their differences.

Politics can be ugly, but when it divides a family, it's tragic!  I wish them all the best and hopefully they stay away from the press and privately reconcile their family.  

Donald is probably thinking if he doesn't get elected, this would be a good reality show!
