Isn't Conway a professional apologist for Trump?  She's hardly a heroine unless you're saying it's heroic for her for having to interpret Trump's daily misinformation. For that I would heartily agree. 
The skit on SNL where she's finally got a day off but constantly interrupted because Trump sticks his size 12 in his mouth again, and she has t go on CNN to defend or deflect for Trump. Well, someone had to do the job and  Conway was easier to manipulate that   Manafort.  Less baggage too.
