Antisocial strikes me as unlikely since people with that have a difficulty hiding their misdeeds. 
Trump has admitted to obstruction of justice on live tv. He has a lot of difficulty hiding misdeeds.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

From what I've read Kellyanne knows that Trump is an idiot and makes fun of him behind his back.  She doesn't believe the shit she says and thinks this is some kind of weird joke.


I don't know if that makes her better person or a worse one.
Well, it makes her a richer person for sure.  What kind of carreer would she have without Trump?  If Trump goes down, she will be 'rescued' by the rest of the party and given some kind of decent paid job somewhere outside of public view.  If Trump does not go down, she keeps some kind of job with job, in the government or in the private sector. 

Either way, she is financially better.

In Mono's book and mine, that makes her a better person.  -_-

Ethics? A desire not to see one's country ruined?

Trump, the man who hates NATO and has discussed the US withdrawing from it, publically muses about aadding Brazil to be a member.

She had a very successful career without Trump.  She owned a successful polling firm and made regular media appearances.  In joining the White House she had to give that up for a $179K salary.  She was definitely making more than that pre-Trump.

She's was angling for a show on Fox News.  Trump winning really fucked up her plans.  Hell,  Trump winning fucked most Republicans' plans including Trump's.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Not to mention his wife's divorce plans.

I could see him thinking about creating a new treaty organisation, called SATO, that will be so much better than NATO, so much better.

Well, let's see it from her point of view:
Would Donald Trump be any better for the country without her?  No.
Would Donald Trump be removed from power more quickly without her? No.
Would the country be saved by Mike Pence?  No.

So, really, it's her ethics vs ours.

And how much will she make after Nov 2020 if Trump loses by having her own tv show on Fox News?  5M$? 10M$? for the first year, of course.

Not if Trump decides the best way to hurt Mr. Conway is to fire Mrs. Conway.

Yay for harsh justice?
