Episode 133: The Right Questions for Kellyanne
President Trump is not an easy man to work for or defend. White House Administration officials don’t always come on the Sunday morning political shows. There are some explosive weeks when there is not a single administration official on the shows. So if you were a show host and you were able to book someone from the White House — what would you do with that interview? How would you approach it? How would you prepare for it?
This week we saw Kellyanne Conway interviewed on State of the Union and Fox News Sunday. Dana Bash and Chris Wallace both had follow up questions and were insistent with their questions, but we noticed that each interview had different objectives. Moreover, the preparation of each host framed different kinds of questions to Kellyanne.
We also discuss the winnowing 2020 field and how their messaging is landing in Iowa and across the country.
