Donald Trump’s campaign is increasingly falling into disarray as the Manhattan billionaire braces for a loss in Wisconsin that could set him on course for an uncertain convention floor fight for the Republican presidential nomination.
Since March, the campaign has been laying off field staff en masse around the country and has dismantled much of what existed of its organizations in general-election battlegrounds, including Florida and Ohio.
Last month, the campaign laid off the leader of its data team, Matt Braynard, who did not train a successor. It elevated his No. 2, a data engineer with little prior high-level political strategy experience, and also shifted some of his team’s duties to a 2015 college graduate whose last job was an internship with the consumer products company Colgate-Palmolive. Some of the campaign’s data remains inaccessible.
As the final stretch of this hard fought GOP primary bogs down into a delegate fight among party insiders and operatives that likely won’t be decided until the July convention in Cleveland, Trump’s singular star power appears to be no longer enough—and his campaign’s months-long lack of attention to other fundamentals is emerging as a hindrance to his ability to clinch the nomination outright.

3 of the 4 top stories on Politico right now are about the 36,957th proclamation of the pending demise of the Trump campaign.
*yawn*
Trump is the master negotiator. I am sure he will be able to beat Cruz at the game of negotiating a majority of delegate support. If not then we’ll need a complete reassessment of the Trump persona.
Politco. Enough said.
They have convinced themselves thst Wisconsin is a must win state for Trump. It never was. He’s fine.
Propagandico remains propaganda.
And as executive policy, its terrifying.
Even Trump doesn’t “win” WI he’s sure to come out with delegates to add to his collection. Cruz is not going to gain enough ground to make a difference in the run-up to April 26th.
This is circulating over on Twitter; I read the article in its entirety, and if even half of it is true, it seems to spell some trouble for the Trump campaign. One thing I can believe without further verification, though, is that Lewandowski is difficult to work with.
“I believe that Donald Trump has the backbone to fix this country, but if changes are not made soon at the top I am fairly convinced that he will lose,” said one of the people who left the campaign. The person said morale among the campaign staff is sinking, attributing that to the layoffs, as well as Lewandowski’s profanity-laced outburst on campaign calls.
“I don’t think Mr. Trump knows what’s happening on his campaign,” the person said, adding “everyone is in astonishment of what’s going on. It’s almost like they’re sabotaging themselves.”
(Lewandowski said that “never once” has anyone on the campaign complained to him about his cursing or management style.)
“Don’ worry aboutit...”
Regardless, Ted’s a mess.
Yep. That boy Trump hasn’t got a lick of executive experience. /s
Politico, the liberal losers that haven’t succeeded at anything but writing nonsense that other losers believe.
A guy leading by almost 300 delegates has a campaign in disarray? Another it’s over for Trump story.
Only a really dumb cuck believes what they write in Politico.
And you would be beating your breast if a leftist rag wrote the same about Cruz... Double minded hypocrites... Reap the whirlwind.
Clearly he knows real estate development,. but it’s clear he had no idea what the primary rules were going in. Otherwise Cruz wouldn’t be eating his lunch right now.
For months we’ve been hearing how the end is nigh for Trump, yet Trump has a large lead.
It's almost as if the main purpose was to elect hilliary, all along.
