Kellyanne Conway Couldn't Con Book Buyers: Just 25,000 in Sales for "Here's the Deal"

This makes me smile

The memoir of her time lying to the American people and making a mockery of everything is sales fizzle.

“Here’s the Deal” sold just 25,000 copies in its first week. The second week should be a lot less, too. The book has already dropped to number 126 on amazon’s best seller list.

Compare Conway’s sales to those of Donald Trump’s dissenting niece, Mary Trump. Her first book, “Too Much and Never Enough,” clocked 1.35 million in his debut week. Michelle Obama? Her “Becoming” was well over a million, as well. And even Donald Trump himself sold about 240,000 copies of a coffee table book last winter, which is now being used as a large coaster. (It was self published by Trump’s self-parody of a son, Donald Jr.)

“Here’s the Deal” is published by Threshold Editions, a sub imprint at Simon & Schuster founded by conservative pundit and former Reagan-Bush lieutenant Mary Matalin, who’s still married after all these years to outspoken liberal and Clinton disciple James Carville.

Kellyanne Conway would be wearing a paper hat and asking folks if they want fries with that.

Perhaps the book should be called “Here’s not the Deal”

They aren't buying her book, because even they don't like her. She is inherently unlikable to pretty much everybody.

Take heart.

McCain’s book, "Bad Republican: A Memoir,” sold only 244 copies its first week and averaged sales of about 20 copies per day thereafter.

Here’s the deal, Ms. Conway. There’s little demand for bad books by bad Republicans.

And, yes, this is what cancel culture really looks like.
