Trump Shakes Up Campaign (Again)

[Minimalist]

Apparently the NY Times story about his campaign reduced him to a blustering, raging, maniac.... or even worse than normal.

Manafort is being bypassed and he is bringing in 'Murrica's #1 Conspiracy Freak from Breitbart "News".  As one conservative commentator on CNN put it... "the Trump campaign has entered the hospice phase."

Trump has named Steve Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News and a former investment banker, to the post of chief executive and promoted Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser and pollster to his campaign, to the position of campaign manager, Conway confirmed to CNN early Wednesday morning.

The addition of Bannon -- known for his brass-knuckled demeanor and his website's sharp tone -- came hours after reports surfaced that Roger Ailes, the recently ousted head of Fox News, will begin to advise Trump as he prepares for the presidential debates. The influence of both men lays the groundwork for unleashing Trump this fall from the more traditional presidential candidate framework, which Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort's leadership was brought on to create.

Congratulations Priebus, you lousy fuck.  You deserve this!

No, he's not #1. There's still Alex Jones if that guy isn't mad enough

Late third quarter, your team is down 24-10, it's third and fourteen with the ball on your own thirty-five.

That is not the time to change quarterbacks ... but no one would ever mistake Donnie Boy for Don Shula.

A panelist on CNN this morning suggested that his bringing Ailes and Bannon into the fold could be with one eye on his certain defeat and a possible venture into "news" media after the election. It makes about as much sense as anything he's done this year.

The Trump campaign is better than NASCAR, even if they fed each driver a fifth of bourbon before the starting flag and had them drive on bad tires in the rain. Keep it up, Donald! You're the best! Now crash that campaign hard!
