Trump is scapegoating them after he ignored their advice.
Trump just gave the most amazing speech. He is doing quite well.
You naysayers need to get a life or go back and support Kamala.
I don’t really think it matters much... Whether we’re talking Rove or Lizardman Carville or balding Kotter (Axelrod) or even Kellyanne Conway - candidates always win or lose based on 49% their skills, 49% the political environment... and maybe 2% the so-called gurus + other factors. And every cycle, there’s a new Super Genius Guru.
Mostly, that means nothing except a bigger paycheck to come for the Super Genius Gurus... and they quickly demonstrate what a waste of money *that* is.
If you want to be generous? LaCivita/Wiles were managing a campaign that was flying high and looked primed for a blowout 6-8 weeks ago.
If you want to be skeptical? Sleepy Joe was wandering around asking if it was time for pudding yet, they had nothing to do with it and I think a bucket of gravel could have run up the score.
To the extent they matter? I do think they’ve shown me nothing of value or skill in dealing with the post-coup shakeout on the leftist end of things... so sure, I’d probably fire them. With less than 3 months left, this isn’t the sort of thing where you should really get a 2nd chance.
You stumble? Bye. Next... It’s still all inside baseball stuff that I don’t think matters much in the grand scheme, but sure. You want to fire the 3B coach because the team hit a rough patch? Almost certainly won’t hurt and maybe it helps on the margins.
