Trump Campaign Overhaul, Hires Two New Top Execs
Townhall.com ^ | August 17, 2016 | Justin Holcomb

Posted on 08/17/2016 5:29:12 AM PDT by Kaslin

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump changed things up Wednesday morning by bringing in two new leadership figures to help guide his campaign into November.

Trump hired Breitbart News Chairman Stephen Bannon to be the campaign’s chief executive, and Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway to be campaign manager.

Trump says that Bannon and Conway are “extremely capable, highly qualified people who love to win and know how to win.” 

“I believe we’re adding some of the best talents in politics, with the experience and expertise needed to defeat Hillary Clinton in November and continue to share my message and vision to Make America Great Again,” he added in the statement.

“I am committed to doing whatever it takes to win this election, and ultimately become President because our country cannot afford four more years of the failed Obama-Clinton policies which have endangered out financial and physical security.”

Excellent. She's as smart as a whip and never gets flustered.

Two things to note : The campaign is not “flagging” that’s a media poll driven wet dream. It ain’t happening sparky ...Ms PIAPS is going to get creamed in the general.
And except for Bannon its a moving of people to places where gifts can best be used at this point in campaign.

This is the news cycle for the next 48-72 hours to draw attention away from trumps 2 excellent speeches this week

However almost 40,000 people either attended last night in Milwaukee or watched the speech live and the power of last night is going to dominate the alternative media

As hillary disappears to rest up from the exhaustion of visiting Biden’s kitchen

Yes, but don’t forget, Trump is a sexist misogynist caveman.

Ex-Navy, Harvard MBA with Honors, daughter a West Point grad in the 101st Airborne, and he allows himself to be photographed looking like that.

What's not to like?

You don’t judge a campaign for POTUS during the month of the conventions. It is dumb to do so. Reagan was down about 20 points in 1980 in August. Don’t buy the hype, if Trump lets the moderate Establishment types steer him he will lose big time.

Ms PIAPS is going to get creamed in the general.

Wish I could concur, but watching Obama over the past eight years has taught me never to underestimate the incredible power of FREE SH*T. She could be indicted and in a coma and she'd still get that 47% of the vote.

Trump can win, but it will be by no more than 3 or 4 points.
