Roger Stone 1996
Translation: He wouldn't do it MY way.
Anybody who hires this dipweed in the future deserves to be betrayed.
Worth a read. Nothing terribly insightful, though.
I’m surprised the Guy didn’t have to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement when he was originally hired.
Trump’s Lawyers must be getting soft.
Search for the NEWYORKER article on this ....whatever. You can link it but not post. Their rules
Good riddance! !!
Thank you for posting. Interesting article.

I read the interview and this guy is not burning any bridges, that’s for sure.
Trump is smiling right now...because he knows firing Stone was exactly the right move. Who needs such a self-serving, low gutter snake as an advisor? And Stone is talking his way out of his next consulting gig.
I don’t think Trump has much control over the fact that somebody spread far and wide a sexist and belabored misinterpretation of what he said.
Most likely, this is just a minor cultural inoculation against what the Clinton campaign has in mind. Already look at what is happening to Bernie Sanders, it’s time to get a counter-current going before we are all up to our pits in microaggressions galore!
Wow! That’s actually pretty good article! I’m shocked!
“...So how does this end?
This is going to be a very long race. I think that because all the primaries up till March 14 are proportional…you could have a very long, drawn out struggle for the nomination. You could have a brokered convention. Therefore, you could have a convention that is settled on the basis of negotiations between the camps. And there is no greater negotiator than Donald Trump.”
Best part is at the end(though I don’t expect Trump to make it that far, he may).
The guy is still a Trump loyalist and supporter. Seems like he made an impulsive decision to leave and might even regret it. Maybe he and Trump need to bury the hatchet and start working together again.
The Daily Boost.. lolol
He admits he quit because they wouldn't listen to him, but the campaign got off to "an extraordinarily good start."
Wow, does he grasp what he said there?
They did it over my objections.
Okay, I've taken the guy to task. I'm going to give him a huge kudo too.
I don't think I've seen a statement like this in print before and it's one that is a the very core of the illegal immigration issue.
If any illegal commits any crime…that’s one crime too many.
Every single crime committed by an illegal alien, is a crime that never should have happened. We have thousands of dead people, raped people, molested chidlren, and victims of many other crimes... not one of these crimes should have taken place.
Whatever else this man is, he grasps that point.
So few do.
Matt Lewis is a propagandist for The Cheap Labor Express.
Everything he writes is suspect. Take it with a boulder of salt.
Roger Stone is a supreme RINO pro-abort. Always has been. For decades he’s never made a secret out of his great desire to take the GOP hard to the Left.
Folks should be more concerned that Trump hires people like that than about the circumstances of Stone’s departure.
Donald Trump and Roger Stone are personal friends, and have been so since 1980, when Roger Stone was heading the Northeast sector of Reagan’s campaign (he was running it with advice and counsel of Roy Cohn, who was Trump’s old lawyer).
Roger Stone will never say anything bad about Trump, and I am sure still supports him for President (Stone hates the Bush-Clinton regime, and the GOP establishment). But when Sam Nunberg was fired, who is an old associate of Stone, I suspected Stone was on his way out.
Reading between the lines, I suspect that there was an internal war going on between Nunberg and Michael Cohen for control, and Cohen must have gotten the support of Lewandowski, who must have made recommendations that fit more with what Trump wanted to do (i.e. the characterization of “yes-men”). Roger Stone is kind of his own man, and must have thought the recommendations were wrong and were hurting the campaign.
IMO, Roger Stone was always one of the most talented GOP operatives, but was a bit self-involved. He may be right that Trump is getting loose in the weeds and should stay on message now, but this is the summer silly season, and I don’t know whether anyone is listening to messages yet. In other words, Stone’s game plan is almost certainly right, but his timing might not be. After all, he is getting old, and things have changed.
One thing I would say is this - I’m almost certain that Trump will call Stone again for advice at some point on a personal level about the campaign, if not multiple times, especially when things go down for him a bit. Maybe he’ll even re-hire him.
Well for Trump there is a simple solution one he can always fall back on... SUE THE GUY!
