I think she looks unhealthy more than just not terribly attractive. I wonder if Trump pays her in heroin.

Well, meth maybe.  
And, no, I don’t think she believes in him or a damn thing he says, which is even worse. She’s in it for the money or the fame, or both. She’d sell her soul with a smile on her face to the highest bidder.

Prior to the Trump campaign she worked for Cruz, IIRC, and she savaged Trump over not releasing his tax returns. She’s a mercenary.

Like the rest of Trump’s supporters, she’s giving Trump a pass on any damn thing he says or does because she shares at least one of his prejudices. I don’t know which one (anti-Semite, anti-Muslim, xeno-phobia, anti-logic…[the list goes on forever, sadly]) she shares, but so long as he’s doing something, or attempting to do something, to dick over the target of their chosen bigotry the federal courts are preventing him from unconstitutionally doing so, she and the rest of his supporters will fawn over him.

Let’s take the Trump’s birtherism. Without any evidence whatsoever, Trump kept claiming that President Obama was not born in America. Finally, as another poster (and, sorry, I’m too lazy at the moment to find that post) pointed out, Trump said that Obama was born in America. He offered no explanation or evidence which served to change his mind. So he was either lying when he was out touting the birtherism, he was lying when he announced that he now accepts Obama was born in America, or he simply never had an actual opinion on the issue one way or the other because facts simply do not matter to him.

His flacks, such as Conway, are supporting him before and after this evidence-free mind-changing. To them, just like to Trump, facts mean nothing. All that counts is how to con the most people, or at least con the right number of people in the right geographic distribution.

The thing that, as a Jordanian-born Canadian of my acquaintance recently said to me that proves America is still the great country my acquaintance has always believed it is, is the courts are not allowing Trump to run roughshod over the Constitution of the United States of America, a document Trump still evidently has yet to read. Trump treats the Constitution the way a number of Fundamentalist posters who have appeared on the SDMB treat the Bible, a document those particular posters have neither read nor understood. He hasn’t read the Constitution and he doesn’t understand it anyway. I have less respect for Trump than I do for those particular Fundamentalists–and I think the Teeming Millions are aware of how much respect I have for said Fundamentalists.

Um, no. [look at post number 1 of this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=821844), or did you miss that, **The Librarian**?

The poster girl for “lipstick on a pig.” (Or a horse.)

She’d be far more attractive with less garish makeup. The gold eyeliner might turn her boss on but looks like aging hooker to the rest of us.

I’m not usually one to pick on anyone’s looks, but when someone of any gender goes out of their way to wear clothes or makeup or a hairstyle that highlights their most unattractive features, and then shoves their face into a TV camera, I think it’s fair game.

KC isn’t terribly unattractive, but there’s little more she could do to look like a circus horse. And a lot more she could to to look like a sensible spokesbeing.

Oh, _I’m thinking it_. I just don’t want to be on record for saying it. \*

- I may be on record for saying something about Trump’s fat ass in his golf pants… and his orange prolapsed sphincter face…

There is a point where ones substantial flaws become so deeply obvious that one is left with ones other flaws. It is her advantage that she looks like such like such a faded skank that we can save her other flaws for later. Men generally lack that advantage, except Sean Spicer on SNL.
