His new campaign chief executive is literally a Breitbart exec. The newly promoted campaign manager is a real winner who's done sterling work the Thompson, Gingrich, and Cruz presidential campaigns.

Pretty much extreme far rightwing trash....I hope this adds a few more points to Hillaries lead.

Went into this thread expecting yet another one of our weekly Trump campaign shake-ups, but this is big.  Manafort sidelined?  I heard there was a lot of grief between him and Trump lately.  KellyAnne Conway is a real pro, always been impressed with her every time I've seen her this year (mostly in the context of her running Ted Cruz's Super PAC).  We'll see how long she lasts.

Good to know. Manafort is a traitor.

Yeah, so far as we know the only people paying Conway and Bannon to f*** over America are fellow Americans. Progress!

Also, isn't anyone concerned that this creates just the teensiest-tiniest bit of a conflict of interest for Breitbart?

Why isn't Milo on his staff yet? He does a better job campaigning for Trump than Trump does!

Robert Costa's Twitter:

"Just spoke to someone who is close to Trump. Bannon has reportedly lit a fire with Trump..."

"Bannon has convinced Trump that rest of campaign needs to be bare-knuckles brawl, w/ full-bore populism/movement politics"

""Huge rallies. Gloves off. Brutal fights with Clinton. Heavy emphasis on nationalism and populism. That's the Bannon strategy."

"What I hear: Bannon's calculation is that Trump can still win but only if he is truly seen as "change," as "the total outsider""


I give it until September 1 when the GOP pulls funding

In case anyone had asked, "can this election get any worse?" This provides the answer and it shows: yes, yes it can and it will...

I guess getting 25% at Fairfax county was considered too high by Trump and he'll try to get to single digits.

Breitbart has a conflict of interest?  I'm shocked.  Better contact them right away so they can fix that problem!

The best strategy would be to sideline Trump himself. Or find a double who folks think is him, but is not him, and somehow manages to stay on message for more than until the next recess period in the sand box.

Just woke up, and I don't know where to even begin with this. Bringing in the guy who runs freaking Breitbart to lead things? More overt nationalism and populist anger? If Trump's campaign was in a meltdown before, then this must be like the point in the Chernobyl disaster when the reactor casing was breached.

So basically he's telling Trump to be Trump and let his mouth fly which dragged him down as far as he has. Should be a very sad but also kinda schadenfreudey thing to watch the end of this campaign.

The fake billionaire can do whatever he wants with his staff, it won’t save him from a decisive defeat.

People running the Trump campaign, are as skillful as the Plumbers who broke in to the DNC in 1972.
