DONALD TRUMP Brings on Record-Setting Breitbart CEO Steve Bannon to Lead Campaign
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8/17/2016 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 08/17/2016 7:12:17 AM PDT by GilGil

Under his direction, Breitbart News smashed company records in July generating 192 million pageviews, 31 million unique visitors, and 89 million sessions.

Bannon’s track record makes him the perfect choice to help steer the Trump campaign to victory in November.

This also shows Donald Trump’s willingness to reach outside of the box and bring in nontraditional resources with successful track records to guide his campaign. Truly, this is a leadership quality we have not seen in the GOP for years.

From they way the announcement reads, it’s not a shake up at all, just bringing more people on board. Must have been a great speech last night since no one in the state-sponsored media mention on the hourly news updates.

Just what we need...another FReeper wet blanket. I think some of you sad sacks live to post your negative drivel.

Apologies for not being part of the "amen chorus". I think adding Bannon is a good move, but because it's happening this late in the game, it gives off a definite aura of desperation. The state media is already speculating that this could be about Manafort's recently disclosed Ukrainian lobbying money.

This campaign has two phases: the one before Labor Day and the one after Labor Day, when the campaign starts for real. What I see coming after Labor Day is a Trump campaign that will deal in issues and ideas. He needs the right people in the campaign to do this. I believe Trump knows exactly what he is doing...

Keep hoping. I'm still waiting for the campaign ad blitzes that we were promised from 1992, 1996, 2008 and 2012.

Manafort is still chairman of the campaign and overseeing the whole thing!

Hmmm... Bannon gets new media,, Kelly Ann goes back to the Newt insurrection days and at that time I think she as dating Frank Luntz. So we have someone who gets paradigm shifts and a new media guy. I see nothing but a win-win here...

Stop believing the polls. The Dems are inflating them so they can cheat by rigging the machines to match the polls. Same thing that almost sunk Brexit

“Uh, isn’t it a little late in the game to be shaking up your campaign....again. WTHeck is going on here?”

What’s going on is fast, smart, and flexible adaptation. He sent Corey to be his voice at CNN. Manafort got him through the convention intact with the GOPe, and now.... this.

He’s smarter than people think, way smarter. The days of a plodding dull sameness are over. Its gonna be fun.

Face it, the state media was going to carp about some aspect of anything Trump did.

They live to find fault with anyone who isn’t part of their insular little world.

I agree. Trump is making all the right moves and shows his ability as an excellent manager. He is moving some major players on the board.

Haha... Me too. It's amazing how the sources you think you couldn't live without, you sort of move on.

I visited Right Scoop and Hot Air (although never Townhall) at least 3-4 times per day. Subscribed to their RSS feeds, and followed on Facebook, Twitter. No more. Haven't been to either site in over 8 months. And don't miss it.

Same with TV and radio. For years I made sure to listen to Mark Levin's opening monologue at 6pm. And then was in front of my TV at exactly 6:38pm for Special Report like clock work. Haven't listened to Levin or watched SR in about a year.

Says who? You? The lying media? All the political experts/pundits who were all 100% wrong for the past 14 months?

Ya ever watched a baseball world series? Ever hear of them bringing in a designated hitter at the last moment? Change pitchers in the final minutes?

You better reboot.
