Davidson's complaint also states that she was fired for making "disparaging comments about senior campaign leaders to third parties" as well as breaking a nondisclosure agreement.

This might have had something to do with it.

I don’t think this crap works anymore. Once upon a time it would have been a big deal but even the the talking heads go psycho over it, no one listens to them anymore.

The people have caught onto the media and left dirty tricks.

I'm betting she gets her day in court.

Where we find out everyone was paid based on logged hours.

Trump’s organization is loaded with top-salaried women. It’s been that way for years — before it was fashionable. I doubt if this chick has a snowball’s chance in Hell.

I bet this disgruntled former employee is playing it this way because unlike most campaigns, this one has lots of money. I am a Cruz supporter who is amused that this former employee thinks she has a case for not getting paid enough when the campaign obviously found her work not even worth what they WERE paying her.

She broke a non-disclosure agreement. I don't think she wants to go to court.

I wonder if she had this in mind when she signed up.

There is a lot of power and money working to bring Trump down. He is a direct threat to the Establishment, both in the Media, the Democrats, and the GOPe, but I repeat myself.

Violating a confidentiality agreement — yep, that’ll get you fired. Gender is irrelevant. Whiner wants a payout.

“Elizabeth Mae Davidson, who was fired by the Trump campaign earlier this month”

That probably sums it up. :-)
