Theres a secret to newly appointed campaign manager Kellyanne Conways success with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump: she knows how to play to his ego.
The notoriously thin-skinned businessman promoted Conway over fellow campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio, in part, because he didnt like it when Fabrizio told him about his poor poll numbers and how he needed to do better, a source close to the campaign told The Huffington Post.
Conway is better at massaging the truth ― she tells him that there are hidden Trump voters lurking in swing states, the source said ― and her words.
Kellys telling Trump what he wants to hear, the source said.
She has a whole vocabulary of diplomatic words. Thats the kind of woman he likes around, who can tell him the soft way ― encourage him, guide him but not criticize him, said a second source close to Trump.

She acts subservient and plays the weak female role to boost his ego. In a way she is the exact opposite of Hillary.

There were suggestions that she is being played by Trump, and that the real back story is a new Media company with Bannon, to rival Fox.
