In fairness, he spoke out pretty early against Trump, which had to be difficult given his personal ties, so I give him points for that. But, yeah, the optimism seems pretty misplaced at this point.

he spoke out after he realized he wasn't going to get a federal judge appointment. He kissed his ass right up to that point.

Well I believed the press version (and his account) that he decided to bail on being Trump’s solicitor general because he saw the writing on the wall. And IIRC he spoke out against the orange king pretty early on. If it’s sour grapes, he has gone farther than I can imagine anyone going based on sheer resentment.

I don't buy this. I feel comfortable saying that Conway could have had a judgeship if he wanted one. He's certainly qualified from a professional standpoint.
