DONALD TRUMP Brings on Record-Setting Breitbart CEO Steve Bannon to Lead Campaign
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/17/2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/17/2016 7:12:17 AM PDT by GilGil

Under his direction, Breitbart News smashed company records in July generating 192 million pageviews, 31 million unique visitors, and 89 million sessions.

Bannon’s track record makes him the perfect choice to help steer the Trump campaign to victory in November.

This also shows Donald Trump’s willingness to reach outside of the box and bring in nontraditional resources with successful track records to guide his campaign. Truly, this is a leadership quality we have not seen in the GOP for years.

This is a great move. Putting a mega media guy in charge is a great move. This campaign is now all about media warfare. A successful media savvy guy is just what was needed. Great move Trump!

Breitbart has become a go to site as most everywhere else is motivated to hurt DJT and the new Republican Party he is forming.

Winners and losers forming before our eyes.

Not sure that any “shaking up” is happening here. I see steadying and adding momentum.

and Kellyanne Conway as Campaing Manager (Paul Manafort remains as Campaing Chairman). He can act sort of like an Executive VP while she runs the day-to-day operations which I’ve read she is very good at. She ran the KTP Pac for Cruz which included > $10 million of Robert Mercer’s money, and Mercer is the defacto “owner” of Breitbart News as well. So this shapes up to be a prime mover for the Trump Train.

Trump dishes out Trump.
He only adds venues or ways to get Trump out.

Businesses don’t expand and add people when they are losing money or going out of business and neither do campaigns.

I guess Trump (or his people) have been listening to Bannon all along on Sirius.... Good move.

It is NOT a shake up. It’s additional personnel
To handle the larger campaign

Lots of new office that must be coordinated.

"...isn't it a little late in the game to be shaking up your campaign...again."

Not at all. This campaign has two phases: the one before Labor Day and the one after Labor Day, when the campaign starts for real. What I see coming after Labor Day is a Trump campaign that will deal in issues and ideas. He needs the right people in the campaign to do this. I believe Trump knows exactly what he is doing...

I guess Trump wants his computer to freeze up constantly from pop up advertising.
