Then with what your saying, you should apply to run his campaign, I’m sure Manafort won’t mind...

I don’t think I’m suggesting anything that he hasn’t already heard from others, including his own advisors. Bill O’Reilly has made similar suggestions to Trump as well as other politicians who have lots of experience with elections. My views come primarily from a business world perspective.

People who are ‘higher ups’ tend to be resistant to suggestions from those beneath them. Its a phenomena you see all the time in the business world. Their attitude is “I’m up here and you’re down there, so don’t tell me how to run my business.” They also have a defensive tendency towards taking things personally as if someone is trying to take something from them or diminish them in some way.

Trump probably exhibits a little bit of that attitude. Its understandable since he is such a great success. But he’s operating in a totally different environment now. The best executives I ever worked around had pretty thick skins and welcomed constructive criticism. They were constantly adapting to new situations. That’s what made them so effective. You either adapt or you fail.
