At least two senior Donald Trump aides were fired by the campaign Monday in what three sources described as a shakeup.
Both aides — Ed Brookover and Jimmy Stracner — had worked for the presidential campaign of former Trump rival Ben Carson, who endorsed Trump after dropping out of the race.
Brookover, a longtime GOP strategist, had been working as a political adviser. He played a role in helping to organize this month's GOP convention. Stracner, had been working as the Trump campaign’s western regional political director.

I wonder how we’re going to win the war against islam if this is the best we’ve got.
Why? It’s not like Trump has never fired anyone...
Cancelled appearances and got Columbus operatives to deny Trump supporters access a venue that was not over capacity.
Carson was put up by a gang of globalists who used his Prayer Breakfast talk to fund their life style. No doubt these two were not “down for the struggle”.
OMG! What if there is another convention!
LOL!
Sounds like Brookhover’s done his job and is moving on.
Keep in mind this is Politico that works with the DNC.
So I would not put a lot of stock of how they spin the news.
This stuff happens all the time. Trump likely doesn’t want Carson holdovers and is letting them go. He’s hiring hundreds of new people all over the country.
The sky is only falling on your head Chicken Little.
What am I looking for in that Twitter link?
Free Republic is keeping the faith along with Breitbart and a few others.
The Donald must stay strong. I’ll bet he is regetting running just about now. But now it is do or die time for him because a President Hillary will punish Donald Trump’s empire and make his children pay too. Such as Donald Jr who is worth 150 million via real estate deals.
Hillary could have her IRS investigate all people who do deals with Trump and his children.
Yep, it’s that guy. The one that got caught.
I follow some lib reporters on twitter and there’s been *extreme* silence about Vogel.
Why? He’s been hiring and firing nearly all his life. Manafort wouldn’t be there if Trump hadn’t fired his predecessor. These two were from Carson’s camp. They apparently just didn’t work out.
Excellent. Love it!
I could imagine Carson people being flakey.
I’m a Trump county chairman in Ohio and I can tell you I’m worried that Kasich is sabotaging Trump’s campaign here. (I’m a non paid volunteer for the Trump campaign.)
A few weeks ago we got a new Trump Campaign State Director. This guy worked for the Jeb! campaign. When he came on board, we were promised a weekly statewide conference call. We’ve only had ONE so far.
WE HAVE NO YARD SIGNS, BUMPER STICKERS OR LITERATURE YET! I’ve compiled a list of over 600 people who want stuff...but nada.
Our area has always had what the GOP refers to as a “Victory Center” These centers are paid for by the GOP. We had one for McCain and one for Romney. We were told by the GOP and the Trump Campaign that we won’t get one this year. Also, no phone bank. They want people to call from their homes.
I personally think Kasich is pulling the strings and wants to see Trump go down. He’s a vindictive little bastard who wants to run for the presidency next time around and thinks he can beat Hillary over Trump.
If I could only get a message to Mr. Trump or someone close to him, I’d feel much better. But my contacts are limited to those working in Ohio.
Some fine-tuning is expected as a campaign shifts gears from preconvention to postconvention. No big deal.
“DNC Media/Establishment has no credibility.”
Agreed wholeheartedly. But how many other than us here at FR really know the truth? The Wikileaks/DNC Emails got no coverage outside the Conservative media. So how many people really know the depths of corruption between the RATS and the media? That’s what I worry about....The Trump starts firing people late in the game, that makes me fear he sees there is a problem.
“Stop with unfounded knee-jerk despondency and vote Trump!”
Yes, regardless of how far behind in the polls they say he is, I WILL vote Trump.
Well what do you want them to do?
They have no idea what’s going on, just like most people on FR.
They dont have insider info, and they don’t want to just plug their ears and just brush off everything as the lying leftist press making hay, because that just isnt reasonable.
Like it or not, these negative stories are everywhere and some people simply want some signal from the campaign that they have stuff under control. That isn’t too much to ask.
