Why more Trump turmoil may be right around the corner

Washington (CNN)The prospect of more turmoil in Trump land, new efforts by Team Clinton to target millennials -- and a plea that could shape how many candidates get debate invites: it's all a part of our Inside Politics forecast.

1) Turmoil in Trump land could carry into the week ahead

Additions in politics often bring subtraction.

Paul Manafort, for example, resigned Friday as chairman of the Trump campaign, just days after his role was significantly reduced with the hiring of a new campaign manager and chief executive.

And there's word that more of the team Manafort brought in is thinking about leaving.

Political director Jim Murphy and pollster Tony Fabrizio are among a handful of Trump staffers known to have expressed frustration to close friends in recent days -- suggesting the new team has pushed them out of the loop to the point that they have learned of some new campaign plans either from the media or by watching the candidate on television.

Will they head for the exits? Stay tuned. National GOP leaders are worried more departures will cause more questions about a campaign team already considered not up to the challenges of the final months of the campaign. There is talk of trying to resolve these internal conflicts, or perhaps shift some operatives to the national party payroll. But several sources familiar with the internal Trump campaign turmoil said they would not be surprised if one, two or a few current staffers headed for the exits in the days ahead.

2) A big ad buy -- with a giant message

Hillary Clinton has had a lighter public campaign schedule of late, and along the way drawn some barbs from Donald Trump -- who questions her stamina to be president.

But the Democratic nominee hasn't been home resting

It is sad, CNN was (at one time, so long ago now) the premier cable news network.

Anywhere.

Now they are losing more audience, more coverage, more awards, every single day of every week.

They have been on a slow downward trajectory forever now, with no end in sight.

Because they are frankly a partisan sham of a network. Fox passed them in viewers now years ago, and continues to pull ever further ahead. Now MSNBC (also viciously leftist) is pulling near to CNN.

They have just lost the desire to be great. They are a monolithic partisan bureaucracy, dedicated to leftist thougth.

Now granted Fox is not a huge amount better this year, they were anyone but for Trump.

But CNN is just a biased blob of partisan tripe anymore.

I hope Trump brings out some competitor to these big leftist (and big centrist) networks.

Someone who is for America.

Not for globalist this, not for selling out our country that.

For American exceptionalism.

Stand up someone. Fill the gap.

"Predicting Clinton will make a 8-figure ad buy this week."

Ah, a front porch campaign.

[Organic Panic]

This will be easy to counter. Trump simply has to ask, “How’s those jobs working for you? How’s that Obamacare working for you? How’s the wall paper in your mom’s basement””

Then again Hillary just has to say “FREE STUFF.”

Manafort was no prize, IMO. It’s been decades since he was a player and was a B grade beltway lobbyist. Those are a dime a dozen. He was brought aboard when the never Trump blacklist was in full force. I doubt he was first choice back then.

1) Turmoil in Trump land could carry into the week ahead

It’s already on the CNN schedule and there’s Mary Katharine Ham giving best Rino perspective. I hate this woman with a passion; she’s even worse than Amanda Carpenter.

[cba123]

Well the GOP was no better at healthcare.

They completely ignored the mess, for decades.

THAT is why we got Obamacare. Because the GOP was in a corner, hiding.

I think Trump knows what he’s doing....

[Sarah Barracuda]

They should just drop the “News” and call themselves the Clinton Network..never in my life have I seen a channel working SO hard to getting someone elected, not even in 2008 was it like this

[Sarah Barracuda]

Ive never seen CNN do ONE Clinton story, not ONE..nothing negative at all about her I guess she is just a perfect little flower..not one darn thing negative to say about her

CNN: Where broadcasting lies is SOP

---

Examples:

CNN stated unequivocally an Olympic swimmer was suspended.  It was entirely made up. The U.S. Olympic Committee told Reuters it was entirely a manufactured story with no basis in truth.

Example #2

CNN manufactured a story about Donald Trump being questioned by the Secret Service for comments made during a speech.  The Secret Service told Reuters the entire story was completely false, it never happened.  CNN made the entire story up.   They didn’t get the story wrong – They made it up.

Example #3

CNN manufactures a completely false story about Milwaukee violence and attributes the exact opposite claims to the Victim’s Sister.  CNN made it up.  They didn’t get it wrong – They intentionally manufactured the spin.

Example #4

CNN manufactures a totally false claim of Donald Trump using a litmus test of “heritage” for possible Supreme Court Justices.  The claim has no merit and is totally false.  Donald Trump used a well known think tank called “The Heritage Foundation” for judicial vetting.

These examples of ridiculous media bias are all within the past week.  Do you really think this same media outlet would not manipulate the same intent with their “polling”?

Two key position -
First
The President of CNN is married to Hillary Chief Campaign Deputy.
Second
Jeff Zucker , a Clinton operative from the 1990’s was carefully placed in this spot just for the election cycle at CNN after getting Fired for destroying the NBC evening programming.

But Jeffy who was in line to be Al Gore ‘s Administration is a hard core Dem operative and actually had his kids appear in that creepy - sick Obama Hollywood Children - Singing to Dear Leader video in 2008.

No coincidences with the Clinton Crime Syndicate .

King must have been busy to produce this load of ...

“turmoil MAY be”

“Turmoil in Trump land COULD carry into the week ahead”

“there’s word that more of the team Manafort brought in is thinking about leaving.”

[More is? That would seem to imply ONE. More ARE would imply more than one. And that word is from whom?]

==

“Hillary Clinton has had a lighter campaign schedule ...”

[That is because she is hiding. She is afraid to be out in public, either due to illness or the claims that the more she is in public the higher her negatives rise. She is trying to skate through the election by staying the background, because she knows her media sycophants will cover for her and carry her campaign.]

It’s not a CBS poll, but was reported by a CBS affiliate.

The poll was conducted by CEPEX Center for Excellence in Project Execution.
