Trump shakes up campaign leadership, demotes Parscale
The Hill ^ | July 15 2020 | BY BRETT SAMUELS

Bill Stepien will replace Brad Parscale as manager of the Trump campaign, the president announced Wednesday night, shaking up the leadership of his stalled reelection bid.

Parscale will stay on in his role leading the campaign's digital strategy and will serve as a senior adviser, Trump said. Parscale was the digital guru of the president's insurgent 2016 White House bid, but had not worked as a campaign manager prior to taking that role ahead of the 2020 race.

He has gotten his memo back this month, it had been a tough 3 months for him in the 2nd Quarter.

Fallout from the empty seats at the Tulsa rally, I’d bet. Mega-sales overhyped by Parscale.

Pascale is still party of the campaign, just moved to control the digital role of the campaign, that’s fine with me :-)

I don't know who Bill Stepien is or anything about him.

I do know Brad Parscale has solid political instincts which helped Trump win the election.

Someone is giving Trump bad advice AGAIN.

Bill Stepien (born 1978) is a Republican political operative and former White House political director in the Trump administration. Stepien managed both of Chris Christie's gubernatorial campaigns and served as his Deputy Chief of Staff before being fired in 2014 after Christie said he "lost confidence" in Stepien's judgment.

Yeah if Parscale put out that 800,00 request number it was a major blunder. It deterred a lot of people from even trying to go.

Trump should have better candidates for campaign leadership than Christies’ former peeps.

Didn’t Christie come up with RosenWeasel?

Maybe the mildly threatening emails to people for donations will stop now.

Whoever has been putting them out is extremely tone deaf if they think messages like, “Your access will be CUT OFF!” work.

There are a lot of people here who are knee-jerk know-nothings who don't know their @ss from a hole in the ground. Go back and see how many supported Bolton.

They'll be applauding Trump hiring another Christie insider.

At this point in 2016, candidate Trump replaced Corey Lewandowski with Paul Manafort to go into the convention.

After the convention, nominee Trump replaced Manafort with Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway for the general election.

Should the MSM be working on their next "Trump Replaces Campaign Manager" story, just to have the spin ready when it comes?

Parscale's going to keep doing what he's best at .... but after that 1 million disaster, there needed to be a change. Here's the President's FB announcement:

Donald J. Trump 29 mins ·

I am pleased to announce that Bill Stepien has been promoted to the role of Trump Campaign Manager. Brad Parscale, who has been with me for a very long time and has led our tremendous digital and data strategies, will remain in that role, while being a Senior Advisor to the campaign. Both were heavily involved in our historic 2016 win, and I look forward to having a big and very important second win together. This one should be a lot easier as our poll numbers are rising fast, the economy is getting better, vaccines and therapeutics will soon be on the way, and Americans want safe streets and communities!

-End-

I supported Bolton too. And Bush. And I voted for Romney and McCain. I’m in no position to speak on this :-)

“Stepien managed both of Chris Christie’s gubernatorial campaigns”

Well that’s a bad sign

The president’s “stalled” reelection bid? That’s a laugh - enemy propaganda gobbled up by nervous Freepers conditioned to fear their own shadows. Let’s remember November 7, 2016 when Hillary had a 91% chance of winning. President Trump hasn’t lost any of those voters, and has gained many. Panic over.

Why? Christie somehow won against a very wealthy Jon Corzine in NJ.
