Let a real CEO, not the media, tell you why Trump is making changes to his campaign
Canada Free Press ^ | 08/18/16 | Herman Cain

Good leaders recognize when changing circumstances call for action

I always find it amusing when the political media try to analyze why changes are made to a candidate’s campaign structure. The storylines are always predictable: It’s a “shakeup” in response to “bad poll numbers” or “internal strife” or something along those lines, helpfully explained by people who have never had leadership positions in their lives.

So when Donald Trump made changes to his campaign’s leadership structure this past week, you could easily guess that it would be reported in that exact manner.

Adjust your brain to believe that everything - 100% - of what the media reports about Trump is false or designed to disparage his candidacy and advance the liberal agenda and Hillary.

Not some. Not occassionally.

ALL the time. 100%. Once you do it’s easy to understand what the media is doing.

The Media wants Trump to fail so bad that they depict every little thing as a major failure.
The exact opposite of what they do for Hillary.

See:
Make a mountain out of a molehill
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_a_mountain_out_of_a_molehill
Making a mountain out of a molehill is an idiom referring to over-reactive, histrionic behaviour where a person makes too much of a minor issue.

And .. the word “shake-up” is incorrect .. because that word usually denotes the discharge of some personnel; there was NO DISCHARGE OF ANY PERSON .. the campaign ADDED TWO PEOPLE.

But, the media know that a large faction of people aren’t paying attention .. and when the media uses the word “shakeup”, it denotes the campaign being in disarray .. when in reality the new positions are simply to add new people and change positions around for the next push toward a ground game.

“Up until Hannity comes on, and to an extent O’Reilly who is pretty fair, from the morning until late afternoon FOX is nothing but declaring that Hillary has already won and the election is over and a landslide for Clinton”

They have to report that because republicans are at work.

The latest media disinformation effectively blacked out any coverage by them of Trumps presence in MILWAUKEE (where is Hillary?) and his very powerful speech in MILWAUKEE, didn’t it?

The actual faithful are not unnerved by any of the predictable, expected rabid proclamations by the venal presstitutes or their more vile Papa Giapettos. We knew this would come, and that this is only the beginning.

None of the faithful are disheartened. Only the spineless. And life's too short to place any faith in or expectations upon the spineless.

And just to prove the point, the stupid bitch Megan McCain was on Fox just now saying “leadership changes means something is going wrong with the campaign”, based of course on her extensive 2 year history of helping with her father’s loser campaign.

Apply my principle and it is simple to see that she is attempting to damage Trump and help the enemy.

100%.

Did you read the article??? Don’t think so. Mr Cain ran for president for awhile. He knows something about this. Plus he is close with Trump

Have you seen the recent polls? Again I don’t think so.

Just Get Out The Vote

Yeah. I know. We only have one radio station. Of course, it’s NPR. They claim they are not biased, LOL. Fortunately, there is a substantial amount of local programming on our little station.

Additionally, let's put it this way. Had this been the other campaign and with similar poll numbers, we too would have been saying reset. Not strategic adjustment.

Panic? Probably not. I think hubris probably is stronger than panic in that campaign. Seeing some tea leaves? Certainly.

It was Cain who penned the article. Not McCain.

As I mentioned to someone else, had this been the Clinton campaign and under similar circumstances, we too would have been saying exactly what is being said about Trump at this point in time.

Fox has become unwatchable—sorry you wasted a few seconds of your life on them. :-(

For politicians it may be, but Trump is not a politician, he is a businessman. As an employer you should recognize that employment needs change.
